@TweetTheBible86 and Mashable
Bible Summary has been mentioned on Mashable again, in a post about a new project to tweet the whole Bible, a verse a day.
Yes, the folks at @TweetTheBible86 are making my 3.5 years look easy. Their project will take 86!
Of course, they do have the advantage of just pasting the verses as they are (rather than writing an original summary each day), but it's still an ambitious undertaking!
If you like the idea of @TweetTheBible86 but would prefer a quicker pace, you can follow @BibleBird, who are in the middle of tweeting a verse every 20 minutes.
The Psalms
Here we go - I'll be starting the Psalms tomorrow!
I was worried that I would be tired of the daily summaries by the time I got here, and that five months in one book would finish me off. But I don't think I've looked forward to any book more!
In my day job, as Director of Worship at King's Church Durham, I've been challenging myself to include a Psalm each time we gather for worship. That may sound obvious, but our diet has been very much focussed around hymns and songs. It's been incredibly enriching to explicitly link our worship with the songs of Scripture.
The Psalms are a kind of lexicon of worship. Given how much my understanding of the other books I've summarised has grown, I'm really excited to discover what the impact of working through the Psalms will be.
I'm also really looking forward to tweeting straightforward praise of God each day!
I think the Psalms are a kind of project-within-the-project. Reading through the Psalms would benefit anyone... so how about joining me?
Looking forward to the Psalms
I've almost finished Job... which means the Psalms are just around the corner!
I've been looking forward to the Psalms since I began the project. I'm a worship leader in my day job, so it's going to be brilliant tweeting the songs of ancient Israel every day for five months!
I've written another press release to highlight this part of the project. Please do pass it on to anyone you think may be interested!
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
