I'm summarising the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day.

It's a three-and-a-half year project. I started on 8 August 2010 and I'm on course to finish on 8 November 2013.

I've completed 1,022 of the 1,189 chapters.

The @biblesummary account has 27,848 followers.

Bible Summary has been featured in the news all over the world.
