The Rhyming Bible

The entire Bible books and letters of Ruth . Job . Psalms . Proverbs . Ecclesiastes . Song of Songs . Mark . James . I John in rhyme.

I've been getting up at 5 am since I was a kid, to study the scriptures and to pray. In these latter years I have resorted to rhyme favourite passages and books for two reasons: Firstly because scripture more and more speaks to me in a type of lyricism, and secondly; because it slows down my reading pace so I can spend the time meditating on each line, if not each word.

The process has subsequently blessed me with insights I would not have otherwise gleaned just through reading.

I hope you enjoy reading these aloud as much as I am still in the habit of doing.

God bless.
