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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy call it the 260?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAugustine said this about the Bible: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Bible is shallow enough for a child not to drown, yet deep enough for an elephant to swim.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The 260 reflects that. You will be able to wade in sections and swim in others. It's a reservoir for everyone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGet ready for a life-changing journey called the 260.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vision International Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957991510114,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2718\/6962\/files\/260.webp?v=1780599878","url":"https:\/\/store.victoryoutreach.org\/products\/the-260-journey","provider":"Vision International Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
