I am reading the Bible(King James Study Bible second edition) on the 3 year plan, reading all the annotations, footnotes and references and trying to absorb as much as possible.

The 1611 King James is pretty rough going, if you're reading it through. I might suggest you also try some other accurate translations that are in modern English.

I am using The American Standard Version, The Bible in Living English, King James, The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, and the New World Translation.

It's kind of nice to have a few translations, just for reference.

If you do it right, you can go through about four chapters a day. Including time spent to meditate on what you are reading, you can finish in just over a year. But this is not a race. The three year plan is just fine.

I have read the Bible before at a faster pace but I think you miss a lot. I have a 1978 edition of the NIV, a NKJV and a newer HCSB which I sometimes reference but the more you read the KJV you get used to the writing and it becomes much easier to follow and I really like the style. But any version and reading plan is great.

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment.

Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much.

At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends.

Or the end of everything...
