0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today we finished our ninth book of the Bible and we're rapidly closing in on |
0:17.4 | 100 days in the word so I think you should do something to celebrate if you know |
0:22.0 | other people who are doing the Bible |
