I’m a Christian: a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be precise. I served a two-year volunteer mission [1] in Germany, and I read the Bible and the Book of Mormon a lot in both English and German during that time. This helped me tremendously. I now speak fluent German. It also makes a nice yardstick: you start out having to look at the original text after every verse. Soon you are able to start reading verses, chapters, then entire books without referencing your native language.
