History
of the Marathon
Each
year since 1990, believers have gathered on the steps of our
nation's Capitol for a Bible
Reading Marathon leading up
to the National Day of Prayer.
Many
of the Bible Reading
Marathons have been held in
conjunction with the National
Day of Prayer observances
around our nation, which take
place on the first Thursday of
May.
Dr.
John A. Hash, founder of the
International Bible Reading
Association has seen the
importance of people reading all
of God's Word, Genesis
through Revelation, to prepare
their hearts to pray in the way
God would have.
God's
Word and
prayer are the real solutions to
our nation's problems. This can
only be accomplished by reading
all the Bible because God
has magnified His Word above His
Name [Psalms 138:2].
