What read the Bible in a year plan do you recommend?

Bookish Question #35 | What Read the Bible in a year plan do you recommend?

So we’re coming up to the end of another year, which means it’s time for me to consider what Bible reading programme I’ll follow next year (if any).

In 2014 and 2015, I read A Woman’s Guide to Reading the Bible in a Year by Diane Stortz. The first year, I did it with a virtual group on Facebook. We tried that in 2015 as well, but our weekly meetings fell apart for a range of reasons (my flaky internet connection being one of them).

In 2016 I used a different programme, one that went through the Bible in time order. This was good, but it did mean skipping around a lot. Like, some days would have six different readings (e.g. skipping between the Old Testament history books, or between Psalms and prophets.

So in 2017 I went back to A Woman’s Guide to Reading the Bible … and failed miserably. I’m not sure if it was the lack of accountability, or the familiarity. I’d like to get back into the habit of getting through the Bible in a year, but would like some kind of organised reading plan.

Do you use a read-the-Bible-in-a-year reading plan?

Which plan do you recommend?
