The Bible Reading Plan

The Bible Reading Plan I used for this book allows you to read through the whole Bible in one year by daily covering 3–4 chapters. I want to encourage you to come with me and others on an adventure by daily progressing through God’s Word. You will experience day by day the blessings that come from reading and meditating on His Word and will reap the joy of accomplishing this together with other believers in the fellowship. You can do this privately or you may get together once in a while with a brother or sister to spend some reading time together. The plan itself is merely a tool to help you keeping track of your progress. At the same time, if you stay committed to it, we all read the same Bible passages in parallel and therefore could also exchange with each other much easier, what the Lord is telling us individually and corporately through His Word.

The name "Bible" is the common name used to designate the collection of the scriptures of the OT and NT recognized and in use in the Christian Churches. These 66 books, 1,189 chapters and 31,173 verses make up the Divine library which is nevertheless, in a vital sense, one book.

Record your prayers

We must not underestimate the impact of our prayers. It is reported about Cornelius that he prayed to God without ceasing. We can find many indications of the prayer life of Jesus in the New Testament. Many times before or after important events He shut Himself away for prayer. For Him it was about silence and fellowship with His Father. Jesus is my role model, He is a man of prayer; I want to be that too! Jesus prayed usually by Himself or He asked His disciples for support thus for combined prayer! Paul also urges repeatedly to fight with Him in prayer corporately. Become a person of prayer. Pray without ceasing! 1 Thessalonians 5:17

What is special with this Bible Reading Plan? You will read through the whole Bible completely within one year. The Gospel of John will be read twice because of its special significance. The book of Job is chronologically placed before God’s covenant with Abraham to help the reader understand the setting of the events that take place better. I paired key passages. For example, we’ll read the blessings and curses of Deuteronomy 28 on the same day Galatians pronounces that, through Christ, we’re redeemed from the curse and recipients of the blessing.

With the help of this Bible Reading Plan you will be able to read the 66 books with 1180 chapters and 31,173 verses – the divine database – within a year. For, as incredible as it is, it is still a book.
