Today is the second of three(!!!) introductions to this Bible in a Year podcast series. This one is an additional introduction he added a year after the initial one, incorporating tips he learned along the way. It's pretty good. I like the explanation of how the Bible in a Year reading plan was inspired by the work of Jeff Cavins. I liked his work in how it leveraged our cultural preference for narrative in reading. Smart of him to take this from Cavins and apply it to reading the whole Bible. Fr. Schmitz also gives good advice on knowing our motivations for doing this, as well as establishing a daily habit.

The Fellowship Reforged: Preparing for the Bible in a Year Journey
One other thing Fr. Schmitz spoke about in this video are the BIY companion books. I've purchased all 3, based on how useful I found the ones for the Catechism when I did that. I'm eager to use them when I start Day One for this journey. This is the first one:
That's it for the prep intros. Tomorrow is the Introduction to the Early World, or the world that existed for the earliest books of the Bible, and then finally on to Day One!
