I read Galations the other day, as a unit rather than reading a chaper and putting it down, it was a real experience to "feel" the Epistle as a whole cohesive unit! Some of you may read this and say..."Well, duh!" actually I sort of feel that way myself so don't feel gulty. 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.
