I read and listened on audio book to the Bible at least three times straight through. I read the daily readings from the USCCB. I have been through several books/themes of the Bible in Bible study. Right now we’re going through Isaiah. For a while I read the liturgy of the hours which is almost all Psalms. But it was too demanding and I prefer less structured prayer. As I get older I read more.

I love Isaiah. My family reads through it at least every other year. We do all four Gospels each year, and then various other books. “Okay, we’re done the Minor Prophets, what do you want next?”

If books of the Bible were Shakespeare plays, Isaiah would be “Hamlet,” because almost every Bible verse people remember is from Isaiah. Jeremiah would be “Richard III,” with all the political backbiting culminating in disaster. Ezekiel would be “Macbeth,” with the visions, and Revelation is “The Tempest,” because who gets any of it, really, but it’s cool!
