Do you want to read through the entire Bible, but aren't sure where to start or how to go about doing so? Statistics show that most people professing faith in Jesus have never completely read their Bible. Many people start reading the Bible but then become overwhelmed by the number of chapters (1,189) and verses (31,102) there are. What we don't realize is that we can read the Bible in a year by reading fewer than four chapters a day.
By dividing the Bible into daily readings, your goal of reading the Bible in a year can easily be accomplished. Not only can you read the Bible on a daily basis, but you can chart your reading progress online during the year. That means you don't have to wait until the New Year—you can start reading the Bible today. Bible reading plans contain daily readings designed to help you easily read the entire Bible. For the best experience, subscribe to the reading plan of your choice. Then you can track your progress, receive daily reading reminder emails, and print monthly lists of readings for offline use. You can start, pause, or end a reading plan at any time—at your own pace.
