read the Bible in a year

I’m planning to read the entire Bible, in chronological order (i.e. the “story” from beginning to end, not just cover to cover).

I did this once, when I was at uni, and it was very cool- it helped me to see the Bible as a whole, not just lots of little stories (Biblical Theology anyone?).

I’ve decided to do it again… this time, from The Living Translation, which I’ve not read before. I started on the 1st of January, 2009…

Tommorrow is the first day of June, the first day of winter, and the first day of my new Bible reading plan. I’m hoping to re-establish myself in the habit of reading the Bible daily.

Here’s the plan.
I will be reading through “The Daily Reading Bible, Volume 1”, which is published by Matthias Media.
Volume 1 covers Matthew 5-6, Joshua, and 1 Corinthians 1-4. There are 60 readings all together.

I’m giving myself 10 weeks to finish it- by reading it 6 days per week. I’m giving myself Sundays off, because I already read the Bible on Sundays- at Sunday School, and Church.

Reading the Bible daily is a good habit to get into, but unfortunately one I’ve gotten out of.
Matty B has inspired me to get back into it. Good on you Matty!
So, I’ve added it to my 43things list, and I’ll let you all know how I go!
