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 1,048 of the 1,189 chapters.
The @biblesummary account has 27,970 followers.
Bible Summary has been featured in the news all over the world.
Find out about the project here, check out my progress, or feel free to get in contact.
