I've been going to church from I was a baby and so it's pretty awful that I've never properly read the Bible. I decided earlier this year to start on this new reading translation of the New Testament, which has the verse annotations removed, is reordered to make more chronological sense and is written in a way that stays close to the original but is easier to read (apparently - I'm no expert on Bible translations).

A lot of Christians won't like this approach to the Bible, but I found it eminently easier to read as it read more like a flowing piece of narrative. I started reading it a few days a week over my breakfast, and I enjoyed working through it. Much of it was familiar to me anyway, between church and taking Sunday School, but there were definitely parts of it I've never read or heard read before.

All in all it worked for me as I actually finished it for the first time.

4 stars (for the version - I don't think I should really be rating the Bible itself).… (altro)
