It is a study tool for a pastor, a motivational tool for a devoted Christ-follower, and a starting point for a new Christian. It transcends New Year's resolutions and goes beyond a Bible commentary on a shelf. The 260 is a Bible companion that can be started in January or June or any other time. It is a strategy and a resource for believers at any phase in their Christian walk.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A senior church leader and personal friend once told me that a vision without a strategy is fantasy. Here is your strategy for not just reading the New Testament in a year but being challenged by each chapter of the New Testament. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Why call it the 260? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The New Testament contains 260 chapters and there are 261 weekdays in every year. The strategy is one chapter a day Monday through Friday with weekends off to finish the entire New Testament in a year. The 260 will take a verse and sometimes a number of verses each day from that day's New Testament chapter and explain, inspire, and bring it to life. Personal stories, historical illustrations, quotes, and cross-references help make each chapter more easily understandable and applicable. Pastors will find a nugget to help them clarify a Bible verse for their sermon and new Christians will have the light go on in their comprehension of the Bible. Though the 260 challenges you to read a New Testament chapter Monday through Friday, it isn't stuck in that method. You can use it for a small-group book study or for simply a personal devotional time. Though it isn't an exegetical commentary, it doesn't shy away from it when necessary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAugustine said this about the Bible: \u003ci\u003eThe Bible is shallow enough for a child not to drown, yet deep enough for an elephant to swim.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The 260 reflects that! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e You will be able to wade in sections and swim in others. It's a reservoir for everyone. Get ready for a life-changing journey called the 260!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDilena, Timi:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - TIM DILENA is the senior pastor of Times Square Church.
