The book-at-a-time Bible reading plan provides two readings for each day. The first alternates Old and New Testament books, giving you three or four chapters a day. The Gospels are spread through the year. The second reading takes you through a chapter or so of the wisdom literature and Isaiah. Combined, these readings will take you through the entire Bible in one year.
To prevent the frustration of falling behind and to provide some reflection time, each month of this plan consists of only 25 readings. You’ll have several days each month to meditate more deeply on something that was significant to you in the past week, to catch up on missed readings, or to revisit favorite passages.
