Wonderful! Me 34...it's been a daily part of my life ever since. I've studied in many different ways and right now I receive the Quote of the Day and then read that paper in full...sometimes at work, sometimes in the quiet of my room...

One time I would read a daily quote from the Bible and then using the Paramony I would read what the UB said...that was a great ride...took me 5 years before I moved on :P

Brothers and Sisters:

I'm a little guy with only 12 years. maybe, we should also have asked how many times have you read thru it from cover to cover?

Me, I would guess the many times I reread the Paragraphs as I was going thru it, probaly 12 times, part IV at least 25 times. If somebody asked me, I would have to say at least 8 times, maybe 9 cover to cover.

Picked up my first edition in 1965 and have read it regularly 3-4x week since. Feel very blessed to have found it and have based my life on trying to live the life of Jesus/Michael; and it's working out pretty well.

1985, Summer...

I attended my first study group on New Year's Day 1986, and that group (at the Brummet's - now disbanded) was a mainstay of my life for many years afterwards.

Maryjo,
I feel almost as fortunate for finding truthbook as do about finding the UB, as it has served as a great study guide when I first started reading. The insight of everyone here I find amazing at times.
