There are tons of resources available online for Bible-Reading plans. Thankfully, there are different kinds of resources for different reading levels. We wanted to provide for you some of our favorite reading plans that have impacted us as a church and would love for you to join us in reading again this year.
The newest plan we have discovered is the Dr. Horner’s Reading Plan. It is designed for you to read 10 chapters a day in a span of 8 months. What is unique about this plan is that you read 10 different books in the Bible each day. The point of this plan is not to slowly study each word (which there should be time for that as well) but it is to steadily read through each chapter at a fair pace. The result will be in seeing how each book in the Bible connects with each other.
Some tips for this reading plan:
- Stay somewhere between speed reading and deep meditation. Get through the text without dawdling, looking up cross-references and so on. Get to know the Bible and these things will explain themselves.
- Stick with one Bible, not just one translation, but one actual Bible. I would try to ensure it’s a printed Bible, not an electronic one.
- Read in the order he suggests, which means you’ll be moving from Old Testament to New and back again several times every day.
- Don’t be legalistic. If you miss a day, pick up and keep going. Don’t quit.
