I just wanted to see if some of you have done this, and if so, did this approach give a new appreciation of the Epistles?  Grace and Peace. | I have never done this with focus. What I have done is had them read to me. To sit and listen to a whole book is amazing too. THe most intense was siting listening to Revelation to John being read aloud |
Yes, this is a good approach as well, in the Early Church Holy Scripture was an oral thing, I have Max McLean on MP3 reading the King James (he also does the ESV and NIV), he has a good solid voice and it lifts you to hear the Word spoken.
