A British man has achieved his goal of summarizing the entire Bible into 1,189 tweets.

It took Chris Juby, Director of Worship at King's Church in Durham, England, exactly three years and three months to complete his mission of reducing every single chapter of the Bible to 140 characters, the New York Daily News reported.

The Durham man, who started with Genesis 1 on Aug. 8, 2010, tweeted out one chapter every day on @biblesummary and wrapped up his work with Revelations 22 on Nov. 8, 2013.

Although this was Juby's third time reading through the entire Bible, he said that during this trek, his life has changed considerably.

While Juby hopes that the tweets helped his followers engage in new ways with a text that has been around for hundreds of years, he doesn't want people to think of his project as the definitive summary of the Bible.

He told the publication that he might team up with publishers to get his summaries printed in a book, but he claimed he won't tweet from @biblesummary again.

The Bible has 1,189 chapters and he wants his tweets to reflect that.
