BIBLE 10 – A COMPANION TO THE PROF. HORNER BIBLE READING SYSTEM



Bible 10 is for people who are reading their Bible using the Bible Reading
System invented by Professor Grant Horner.  The system has you reading ten
different chapters per day from your Bible. While others have invented bookmarks
for you to stick in your Bible, many don’t have just one Bible or may not carry
it with them.  With this app, you’ll get the convenience of digital bookmarks
that help you keep track of what chapters you’ve read and what day you are on. 
The Horner Bible Reading System is not based on specific dates, so you can start
Day 1 whenever you want: we recommend today!

We hope that you will benefit from this app and that it will help you read
through your Bible every day.  Please share this app with your friends, and make
sure to rate and review it.  Also, let us know what features you’d like to see
in the future updates via the “Provide Feedback” link in the menu of the app.


BIBLE 10 WORKS ON IPAD AND IPHONE


PROFESSOR GRANT HORNER EXPLAINS THE BIBLE READING SYSTEM

“I have more wisdom than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my
meditation.” Psalm 119:99, right-hand page, left-hand column, dead center of
page. Many people ask me how it is that I know precisely where virtually
*everything* is in my Bible. The answer: this system. I began in 1983 (adapting
and tweaking the basic design of another system) as a brand-new convert; within
3 years I knew the text of my Bible very well. Twenty-five years later it is
essentially imprinted on my mind and heart. I have been all over the country and
have taught this system in many churches. I have done open-microphone Q&As on
Bible and theology — with 1200 people in the audience — as well as
cultural-analysis live radio shows where you have to think fast — and it has
been the “imprinting” value of this system that has helped me provide quick,
clear, heavily contextualized scriptural answers (I Peter 3:15; right-hand page,
right hand column, 1/3rd way down). I have no Seminary degrees, no Bible-college
or Christian school education — hey, I never even went to Sunday School (the
first church I went to, just months after my conversion, threw me into Sunday
School– to teach!!! *BIG* mistake, by the way…) All I DID have was a chair, a
lamp … and my Bible.

This is *not* merely a speed-reading program, nor is it a ‘study’ system. Read
the 1-page description provided here to see how it works. (I’d also recommend
you look at my first few posts in the Discussion Board ‘Starting Up’ below as
well, for more thoughts.) DO NOT be intimidated! I was a college drop-out,
ex-heavy-druggie when I started it. If I can do it, so can you!

TRY IT FOR A MONTH. Then tell me what is happening!

Join if you wish to try it; stay if you keep it up for one month! And make posts
about your struggles, the effects it is having on your biblical understanding
and discernment, and to encourage others.

HERE IT IS:

* PROFESSOR GRANT HORNER’S ‘TEN LISTS BIBLE READING SYSTEM’ *

Each day you will read one chapter from each list, in order. THAT’S RIGHT — *TEN
CHAPTERS PER DAY*!!! Use ten bookmarks or sticky notes with the individual lists
on them to keep track of your locations. On day one, you read Matthew 1, Genesis
1, Romans 1, and so forth. On day 2, read Matthew 2, Genesis 2, etc. On day 29,
you will have just finished Matthew, so go to Mark 1 on the Gospel list; you’ll
also be almost to the end of 2nd Corinthians and Proverbs, you’ll be reading
Psalm 29 and Genesis 29, and so forth. When you reach the last chapter of the
last book in a list – start over again. Rotate all the way through all the
Scriptures constantly. Since the lists vary in length, the readings begin
interweaving in constantly changing ways. You will NEVER read the same set of
ten chapters together again! Every year you’ll read through all the Gospels four
times, the Pentateuch twice, Paul’s letters 4-5 times each, the OT wisdom
literature six times, all the Psalms at least twice, all the Proverbs as well as
Acts a dozen times, and all the way through the OT History and prophetic books
about 1 ½ times. Since the interweaving is constantly changing, you will
experience the Bible commenting *on itself* in constantly changing ways — the
Reformer’s principle of ‘scriptura interpretans scripturam’ — ‘scripture
interpreting scripture’ IN ACTION!

After you’ve read any particular book once or twice, your speed in that book
usually *doubles or triples* because you’re familiar with it and can move
quickly and confidently — because you are no longer merely decoding the text but
thinking it through in the context of all of the scripture! Acts 20:27. Even an
‘average’ reader, if focusing on moving through the text, rather than trying to
figure everything out, can usually do this in about an hour a day – 5-6 minutes
per chapter. If it is taking you longer, then you are ‘reading wrong’ – stay
relaxed, focus, and just keep it moving. Moderate but consistent speed is the
key. This is “gross anatomy” — looking at the whole body; you’re *not* closely
studying organs or systems or tissues or cells — it is *not* microbiology. BUT —
microbiology and the study or organs makes more sense when you know what the
*whole* structure of the human body is like, and how all the parts, large and
small, relate in perfect interdependence. After just a few days the reading gets
*much* easier; in a month it will be a habit, and in six months you’ll wonder
how you ever survived before on such a slim diet of the WORD. And then — you’ll
tell others to start the system!

I began in 1983 as a new Christian and have now read (most of) the Bible
hundreds and hundreds of times. You also need to get ONE Bible, keep it, and do
all your reading in it, so you learn where everything is. I’ve had the same
Bible since 1983 and I know it intimately. If you keep switching Bibles, you
‘lose’ this intimacy with the text. Find a translation and format you like and
stick with it. THIS IS CRUCIAL.

When I was flown out by Masters for a 3-day interview/theological-grilling
process, the culmination was of course being ushered in to Dr. John MacArthur’s
private study, which is where he asked me this one question: “Can I see your
Bible?” I thought he would be horrified, because it looked like it had been
through a typhoon — it looked unloved and neglected. Something from a dumpster.
It was unbound, with stringy mess and paper debris hanging out. I was so
embarrassed. I thought he would chastise me and recommend I get a new study
Bible if I was serious about the Word. (No doubt which study Bible he would
recommend!!!) He flipped through it and handed it to his wife and said “If your
Bible is falling apart, you probably aren’t.” I was basically hired on the spot.

Your Bible is the only thing on Earth that, as you wear it out, will actually
work better and better.

If you are wondering why you should read Acts (or Proverbs) all the way through
*every single month* then — you’ve just shown that you NEED to read them that
much!

*Put these instructions in your Bible and review them from time to time*

SECRETS TO SUCCESS WITH THIS SYSTEM:

• Read one chapter from each list each day, in one sitting or two. At the end of
a book, go to the next book. At the end of the list – start it again. Do it in
the order given above.

• Read quickly (without “speed reading”) in order to get the overall sense. Read
as fast as you comfortably can with moderate retention. You’re not studying
deeply or memorizing; shoot for 5-6 minutes per chapter. At the end of a
chapter, move immediately to the next list.

• GET THROUGH THE TEXT – no dawdling, back-reading, looking up cross-references!

• There are different ‘kinds’ of reading: super-quick skimming, careful
moderate-paced, studying the text, deep meditation. You should be between the
first and second kind.

• Most people decrease their time spent and increase their retention after just
two-three weeks! I now read and retain the entire text of Matthew in 35 minutes,
Romans in 20, Genesis in *one hour*!

• Don’t look up anything you ‘don’t get’ – real understanding will come through
contextualizing by reading a LOT of scripture over time. Get through the text!

• If you miss a day or two – OK, get over it, then keep going. Don’t cover
yourself in sackcloth and ashes and quit! Move the bookmarks along, to find your
place(s) quickly next day.
Heb 4:12;5:11-14; Eph 5:26; 6:17; Col 3:16; 2 Tim 3:16; Psalm 119; Ezra 8; Prov
3: 1-2,10:14; Daniel 1

The goal of this system is simple, and twofold: To know scripture, and to love
and obey God more!
