This is a new year and so many Christians have a goal to read through the Bible in that time frame. I’ve done it and believe it’s a noble effort. Heck, I first came to faith while doing it! But reading the Bible in one year is a time commitment that many\u00a0people may find to be difficult. Also, it doesn’t allow for much flexibility if you want to pause in a section and marinate in the word.<\/p>\n
I had pondered a do it yourself reading non-schedule where I would read a chapter a day, figuring that would take about 3 years to get through it all. While a one year plan is a real commitment, a three year plan seemed like a noncommittal action on my part. Splitting the difference, I decided to use a two year reading plan from Stephen Witmer<\/a>. Stephen, if you see this, your PDF is off by two rows!<\/p>\n In case you’d like to follow, I’ll give each day’s reading in a post. I may or may not include my thoughts as we go along. If you read with me, the time commitment will be 5-10 minutes a day. You can check this blog for each day’s reading, you can also subscribe via RSS<\/a> or email to my blog. The email signup is on the blog sidebar toward the bottom, mom, so you’ll be able to find it easily.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a new year and so many Christians have a goal to read through the Bible in that time frame.
