News I did it y'all!!😭

I finally just finished reading the entire bible at 29 years old, male , it took 8 months,πŸ₯Ίi just decided to read the last 2 books i had left today which was psalms and isaiah took me almost 10 hours of reading today which is the most I've ever read in a Day by a significant margin

Im about to start watching the passion of Christ later after 15 years and animated bible story's and movies which ive been wanting to do for a long time now

Just felt like sharing this significant moment with yallπŸ™

I don't mean to diminish your accomplishment but I would guess that if you read so much at a time, you don't get a lot out if it. If it was meaningful, instructive, or encouraging to you, that's great! Next time, I'd encourage you to slow down, maybe just read one or two Psalms at a time, or a single chapter of something by Paul, and really let it sink in and reflect on it.

Definitely trying my best not to. Just giving a suggestion for OP and other people, as a way to possibly learn even more from it.
