Bible reading plan
Bible Reading Plan
This track plan should not be a substitute for your daily Bible devotions. If you don't have a daily Bible devotional book or booklet then feel free to join my list, or just join anyway:-)
(From the NIV student Bible) Of all the reasons people mention for not reading the Bible, simple discouragement ranks highest. The Bible's length alone, about 1,000 pages, is imposing. More like a self-contained library than a book, it includes 66 different books, by several dozen authors. Little wonder people get confused and discouraged.
The following 3-Track reading Plan helps break the Bible into more manageable portions. If you're new to the Bible, begin with Track 1, then proceed to Track 2, and finally - if you're ambitious - tackle track 3. Your understanding and appreciation for God's Word should increase.
All three tracks share one thing in common: they each assign usually one chapter a day. Reading an average Bible chapter should take only 5-10 minutes.
Track 1: Introduction to the Bible
Track 1 is a place to begin reading the Bible. Three two week-reading courses take you quickly into passages of the Bible every Christian should know. These were selected with two concerns in mind: first, they are frequently quoted or referred to. Second, they are relatively easy to read and understand. Track 1 is a sampler designed to whet your appetite for more.1. Two weeks on the life and teachings of Jesus )
