Day One: So what book?

I'm a firm believer that to study the Bible, you really need to study in context. The best way to do this is to begin at the beginning of a specific book and work your way all the way through. That doesn't mean you can't hop over to other books for clarification. It just means you're generally following ONE path all the way to the end, and then you can take another. Keeping context is SO important, since each book has a separate purpose and author (though the one Author did ultimately inspire each).

So what book should I study? I can tell you I've read through Genesis and Matthew dozens of times, sometimes making it on into the other books of law or gospels. I've been through Paul's books in church. So I'm thinking histories or prophets. Which?

Given that the histories are vital to understanding the prophets, I'm going to delve into them, starting in Joshua. So let's begin. Tonight I will read Joshua Chapter 1 and post my thoughts on it tomorrow.
