I started my first day of reading through the Old Testament using the NLT 24/7 Chronological Bible. I’m really looking forward to it.
I apologize for any repeats in these links.
- Louis at Church Connect has a list of many of the links at Justin Taylor’s blog–Between Two Worlds
- More Bible Reading Resources at Between Two Worlds
- Bible Reading Plans at Best-Bible.org (keep in mind the site is for sale)
- ESV Bible Reading Plans
- Bible Reading Plans at bibleplan.org – My favorite is the plan for reading Proverbs in a month which I thought was pretty humorous until I realized that they send you the Scripture for each day so that you can read it on a hand held device. They give you a choice of many different translations and languages.

Nobody said you must read the entire Bible in exactly a year. You can read it in two months, which gives you a great overview if you’re able to do it. (I did it once and I’m not sure if I could do it again.) Or you can read it in two years. Justin Taylor points us to other plans in a post titled Bible Reading Plan for Shirkers and Slackers (also mentioned by Louis).
If you haven’t ever read the Bible you may want to start with one of the gospels, like the book of John. You can read three paragraphs a day if you’d like. Then maybe choose a plan that has an Old Testament and a New Testament reading each day. The important thing is to read it. One paragraph a day is infinitely better than nothing.
Why, I don’t even get an honorable mention? See if I ever link to you again!
Well hold on there cowboy, your post didn’t show up in my feed reader until after I wrote mine. I will most certainly add it and highly anticipate the next part(s). The content of your post is a great addition.
Jeff
That’s more like it!
I should add, I didn’t even know of your post until you mentioned it. I went immediately to my feed reader and there it was. I noticed I just happened to write a couple of things kind of sort of similar and I felt reassured by that.
