[sword-devel] 200 volunteers required to read 5 chapters of the Bible

[Andrew Thule]

I'd be happy to chip in.  I read ESV last year as my daily read, and I've
read KJV the same way. (This year I'm on LEB).

I'll even offer to read 'difficult' books such as Isaiah, and Jeremiah
(though if you can through in something nice like Hebrews - I'd very much
appreciate it).
