We recently did a series on 2 Timothy 3:16-17, looking at the benefits of reading your Bible. It did produce some results (although for how long, I'm honestly not sure). My personal blog is to help people with their Bible reading by blogging my reflections on a chapter a day. I know of a Richmond church that just started promoting a life journal, and their staff says they're seeing some results.

I don't know if I am qualified to answer... (Church planter hoping to reach non-christians) ...but Neil Cole has a great little plan called the LTG in his earliest book. Sorry, the name slips me... It's basically a 2-3 person group. They read a lot of scripture, hold each other accountable, and pray for the lost.

Thank Dan for me when you see him... I called this past week with music questions, and he was generous with his time :)
