Superstar Patricia Heaton revealed that she set a person goal to read the entire Bible in just one year and shared that while it wasnât always easy, she did in fact finish on Sunday.
The 64-year-old actress shared a video on Twitter with her hundreds of thousands of followers that detailed what she called âa year in the makingâ as she reflected on the plan that worked best for her to âread the Bible all the way through.â
âA year ago today [Dec. 19] I decided I would finally, for the first time in my life, read the Bible all the way through,â Heaton shared as she explained she got the plan from the gospel coalition. âAnd I finished it today. I canât believe it.â

âYou know somedays were just revelatory,â she added. âI saw things Iâd never seen before. And somedays were kind of a slog. You know, just going through it and pushing through and just feeling like âI donât even know what any of this is about.â Mostly, Old Testament stuff.â
The âEverybody Loves Raymondâ star said that even though she didnât understand some of it, she didnât let that stop her from accomplishing this year goal.
At one point, âThe Middleâ star talked about how she went through and noted all the ânames for God in the Bibleâ as she shared things she wrote down like that heâs a âprovider,â âhealer, âa shepherd,â ârighteousness,â âthe beginning,â âthe endâ and so much more.
âItâs a great way to start your day,â Heaton explained. âThere were times that I didnât do it for a few days and then I had to do a big catch up. But it was always the best to just plow through everyday. Set that time aside and set some time aside to meditate on it and pray.â
And now that sheâs done, the actress revealed that she was going to wait until January 1st and do it all over again. But she said this time maybe with a new plan. She closed out her video by stating âI highly recommend it.â
