Twenty Pages a Week Podcast artwork

We are reading the entire Bible through in a year - an average of 20 pages per week. I am Hal Hammons, your host. Every Monday morning (Lord willing!) I will post a short segment to encourage you in your week's reading. We begin with my "first impressions" from the reading this time through, then we focus on "one story," "one verse" and "one word." I hope it motivates you to get in the Book of books and stay there.And check out my Citizen of Heaven podcast also. There we cover the ins and outs of living as a Christian in Satan's world.

God takes His time. It took generations for David to ascend the throne. It took years even after he was anointed. But God does things in His way and His time.
