I don't understand why you won't get spiritual insights from PRing. Just because it isn't the normal way of reading, doesn't mean you don't get the spiritual insight.

"no human mind can fathom the mysteries (hidden truth) of God's Word, unless he reveals them to you."

Why can't God reveal the meaning when you Photoread? I just don't understand the reasoning behind this argument. I think he's saying, "Unless you read it word for word, you won't get it," which just isn't true. Heck, out of almost all the books I know, the Bible is definately one where the 10% rule applies...in the book of Genesis, do you really need to know who begat who? Not really, not if you're in it for the moral instruction, and even if you did want to know who begat who, just change your stated purpose and family tree/mindmap that sucker.

I just don't understand why you won't get the same moral principles PRing the bible as you would any other text. Sure, the bible is no ordinary book, but if this is true doesn't it also follow that to read it like any other book (ie-regular reading) isn't necessarily the correct way either?

I don't see why the two are incompatible.

Hi Razordu,
I think what he means is that while PR does help in "remembering" the facts, The Bible in the Christian's life is the most important book so to really understand it and incorporate it into your life, it is important to regular read the text and think on the scripture.
In the PR book, Pete says that on some books regular reading is required, why not PR and if you want a deeper understanding Regular read. Remember, PRing does not replace study.
