Bible Reading Plans
Many people enjoy the structure of a Bible reading plan. Having a plan guides you to passages on a daily basis
and leads you through the entire Bible over time. We need to read the entire counsel of God and not just camp
on favorite passages. There are many Bible reading plans that are available. Please refer to the links below and
chose a plan that fits your lifestyle and preference.

One-year Reading Guides
The Bible "Read Me" Plan features multiple schedules to help you to read the Bible in a year. God's Word is a
big book and without a workable schedule it can be easy to give up before you even get through Genesis.
Following are 5 unique guides to use as you read through the Bible:
Chronological
Read the events of the Bible as they occurred chronologically. For example, the Book of Job is integrated with
Genesis because Job lived before Abraham.
View the guide
Historical
Read the books of the Bible as they occurred in the Hebrew and Greek traditions (the order in which they were
written). For example, the Old Testament books in the Hebrew Bible do not occur in the same order as they do
in our English Bible. The New Testament books are arranged according to their date of writing as well.

Old and New Testament Together
Read the Old Testament and New Testament together. Your knowledge of the Old Testament will be enhanced
by what you read simultaneously in the New Testament.

Beginning to End
With this guide there are no surprises. You simply read through the Bible from start to finish, from Genesis to
Revelation.
View the guide
Blended
If you prefer not to read straight through the Bible but want to add variety to your Scripture reading. For
example, while you are reading the Old Testament book of Isaiah, you are also reading the New Testament
book of Mark to heighten the variety of your Bible reading.
