I didn't sign up for the challenge but wanted to share our experience nonetheless.  First, some background. 

I don't like to read the same book twice.  I don't have a photographic memory, but I do have this odd memory trait that causes me to remember where something is located generally on a page.  So the second time I read a book, I tend to skip over things due to familiarity.  Of course, the Bible is a text that I could read over and over again and still find new wisdom. But not if I'm just skimming because of my bad reading habits.  So, I tend to read one version or copy and then seek out another for my next reading.  I am also a note-taker highlighter kind of gal, so I wear a book out if I'm really studying it.  Which brings me to my point, as I was thinking about which Bible to read next (I still have mine from high school graduation, several from my grandmother's collection and a few others accumulated over time), I heard on Thy Word Network that one of the programs was offering the 90 Day Bible as a "Thank You" for a donation. Since I listen to this particular program regularly, it was not at all out of line for me to make a donation- Thank You gift or not, so I ordered the 90 Day Bible and selected it as my next version to read. 

This version of the Bible is published by Zondervan and is the size of a trade paperback; tall but narrow.  It is designed to be less thick than the usual Bible, I assume for easy carrying and to make it more like a "regular" hardback book.  The dust jacket was made with a paper that wasn't slick which bothered me for some reason, so I just took it off.  The book cover itself has a textured surface that feels substantial in the hand.  The pages are somewhat light, I assume to assist in keeping the overall heft of the book down. 

The format is designed for you to read 12 pages per day.  When you read the next day's assigned reading a small banner will indicate what day you are starting and to begin at that  point.  Each new days' reading starts at the top of a left hand page.  This is simple and efficient, you always know when you are reaching the end of your reading and if you know the multiples of 12 you know when you are getting close to the end of an assignment.  My one quibble with this format is that the cut off is absolute.  It may be mid-sentence with just two more lines before the end of a chapter or story when the day's reading ends.  I tend to just continue until the next heading in those circumstances.

I should note that I am not making it through 12 pages.  I think I could if I were only reading for myself and did not take any notes or look anything up.  But that might not be a very satisfying read.  I think this is my 3rd or 4th complete read through the Bible so I do need to examine it more in depth simply to hold my attention (see my comments above).  What I am using this particular Bible for is our family reading time.  This does not happen daily, I am hard pressed to achieve this goal weekly given the young age of my children and my husband's odd work schedule.  But we do the best we can.  The 12-page segments give me at least some idea of our progress and give me some guidance as to how much to read on any given night. 

To enhance our reading, I printed out some of the free maps available at Homeschool E-store and keep them in a binder with the Bible.  While my husband is familiar with world geography, I am not so I usually refer to the map each time we read to track where the 'action' is taking place.  This has been great for me and also provides my 6 year-old with a geographical context for what we are learning.  We have done some map studies using the Five in a Row cirriculum and he knows the route to our vacation site and some family members homes- but using the map to supplement our Bible reading and seeing his responsiveness has been really exciting.  Bear in mind that the same regions that begin the Bible story begin civilization so it only makes sense to learn about those regions first.   

I am also very pleased that he listens well enough (while wondering around playing, etc.) to ask questions and make comments from time to time.  Even though my primary goal was to read for myself and my spouse, it has also been wonderful to share the story with my children as well.  Plus, as I read aloud I am forced to concentrate more on the words than I might otherwise which is of course of benefit to me.  The Bible makes a great foundation for our Christian journey and our studies of civilization, vocabulary, and many other subject areas.  Of course, God knew it would, isn't He great! 

Well, that's the Bible we are using and how we use it.  For us, this may be the Bible in 90 weeks.  But however long it takes it will be certainly be worthwhile.
