One-Year Bible Reading Plan

Many of us have tried many times to read the Bible through one year without success.  I’m one of them, as is my husband.  I’m determined to conquer this seemingly monumental task this year with the hope that I can read alongside my blog friends.  Will you join me and read the Bible together?

The reading plan I’m using is originally devised by Discipleship Journal, and made available and formatted by Bethlehem Baptist Church.  With this plan, you read different selections from four different books of the Bible each day.  There are 25 readings each month which means you can catch up when you fall behind.  I especially like the bookmarks (click through the aforementioned link to print your own bookmarks) which are designed to be placed at four different points in your Bible to track your reading.

So, what say you? Will you join me?

Thank you, Lois. I’ve seen this plan before but I really like the bookmark idea. I’m going to join you, but may have a little trouble keeping up this first month. We’re heading to China in a few days and you know how that can put a kink in the best laid plans! Thanks again!


Hey Lois! I started this same thing just last week, too! Count me in :)


Is this open to people who faithfully read your blog but never comment?? :)

I would like to join you! I really like the idea of a 25 day/mo reading plan, since I inevitably end up falling behind when I try to read the Bible in a year.


hmm…i have been looking for something to start. I’ll try!


And to think that I was just going to “write off” this year in not even trying to go through the Bible (since it seems like a daunting task). Will give it a whirl! :D


The ESV Bible Reading Plans site appears to be contain a good variety of Bible-reading plans.
