Here's a poem that Dave Hunt often quoted
(taken from the Berean Call Facebook page):
Yes, I thought I knew my Bible,
Reading piecemeal hit or miss.
Now a bit of Psalms and Proverbs,
... Now a verse in Genesis.
Certain chapters of Isaiah,
Certain Psalms, the twenty-third,
Twelfth of Romans, first of Proverbs,
Yes, I thought I knew the Word.
But I found that thorough reading
Was a different thing to do
And the way was unfamiliar
When I read my Bible through.
You who like to “play” at Bible,
Dip and dabble here and there,
Just before you kneel a-weary
And yawn through a hurried prayer.
You who treat the crown of writings
Like you treat no other book,
Just a paragraph disjointed,
Just a crude impatient look.
Try a worthier procedure,
Try a broad and steady view.
You will bow in very wonder
When you read the Bible through.
And through and through…
