How I did it: Read from both the Old and New testaments daily.
It is as simple and complex as that.

I pray before I start  reading to open my mind and heart to God's word and simply read wherever the Spirit leads.   The new testament is always a little more orderly than the old.

I have tried the "chapter a day' thing and it didn't work for me.  I literally let the Bible fall open and start reading as long as it is a book I had not already read recently.

Lessons & tips: Make this your special time of the day.

I have read the bible through 3 times in my life and decided it is about time for number 4.


Note: This does not count the minor short scripture readings and chapters for church and other classes.

Resources:

• bible highlighter
• mechanical pencil for underlining
• post-it flags you can write on
• taking prayer notes in a journal is great, but might distract you from actually reading through the entire Bible.  
• Follow where God leads you...be open to Him
