TOLEDO -- Do you think you could read the Bible in 90 days?
That's what hundreds of people in the community of Waterville have pledged to do with the first community-wide effort to read the Bible in three months.
This week alone, participants have gotten through 12 pages, and they'll read twelve pages every day until they've finished the entire book.
An estimated 75 million adults say that reading the Bible is very important to them. But chances are, they haven't read it beginning to end.
In this program, they read twelve pages of the Bible every week and then meet to watch a video and discuss what they've read. The facilitator of the program says there's one very important reason to participate. The reasons people have decided to participate vary. A special Bible that's easy to understand is used in the group.
