I knew a fellow that would read through the entire Bible every time he got a new one..... (hint)
I could not keep such a pace myself but admired him for doing so. I know another fellow who reads through the entire bible twice a year. He can summarize the entire new testament chapter by chapter. You can ask him what is in any chapter and he can tell you the subjects covered and the principle themes. I know another fellow that memorized the entire new testament. You can imagine these folks did not spend hours on in in front of the TV.
I just finished reading through the entire Bible this week although it took me about 2 years. Back several years ago our whole family did it in a year with a One Year Bible. Sure wish I could do that again with them. Took us about 20 minutes a day. Hardest part was catching up if we missed a few days.
Congratulations to you on that new Bible
It sure sounds like you are looking forward to using it! Its sharper than a two edged sword.
