Study 10: Review Of The First Three Chapters
I began the series with a general overview of the structure and framework of the book. The letter may be divided into four main sections: Sandwiched between an introduction (1:1-17) and a conclusion (15:14-16:27), there are two central questions the Apostle answers.

33 Bible Reading – The Book Of 1 Kings
The time period covered by the book is around 120 years, from 1015 BC to 900 BC. There are 22 chapters, and it takes approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes to read in a single sitting.

32 Bible Reading – A Devotional Review
After providing a basic review for the first thirty-one studies on the books of the Bible, Jared launches into a devotional study of the first Psalm (entitled, "The Righteous Robe And Vine"), explaining the difference between the heirs of grace (sheep, ordained to everlasting joy) and the heirs of wrath (goats, ordained to everlasting misery).
