Bible Reading Plans

January 13, 2010

Even though it is January thirteenth you can still read through the Bible in a Year. Just make whatever date you start your January first. Below is are some options. Enjoy!!!

Discipleship Journal
There are four daily readings (the year starts with Genesis, Psalms, Matthew, and Acts), but it’s only 25 days each month—which leaves some margin for missing here and there when life gets busy.

For Shirkers and Slackers
This plan assigns passages to different days of the week. But puts you in control of the pace.

M’Cheyne
This is the classic plan, designed by Robert Murray M’Cheyne (1813-1843), the well-remembered Scottish minister who died before his 30th birthday. The plan has readings for every day of the year and will take you once through the Old Testament and twice through the Psalms and the New Testament.

ESV Study Bible
Like the Discipleship Journal plan, the ESV Study Bible plan has you reading in four places: 1) Psalms and wisdom lit, 2) Pentateuch and Israel’s history, 3) Chronicles and prophets, and 4) Gospels and epistles.

Chronological
With a reading for each day of the year, this plan from Back to the Bible aims to take you through Scripture in chronological order.

Engage Scripture
This is a new plan from The Journey in St. Louis. Also check out The Journey’s Engage Scripture page for videos and pdfs giving background info on the biblical books.
