Bible Reading Plans (Print, Email, Web, Mobile, RSS)

If you decided to read through the Bible in 2012 you need a Bible Reading Plan. Reading the Bible is rewarding and these plans can help you stay on track. I listed seven options below. Choose the one you like best.

Option 1 – 5X5X5 New Testament Reading Plan

 Description: Read the New Testament – 5 days a week, 5 minutes a day This reading plan will take you through all 260 chapters of the New Testament, one chapter per day. The gospels are read throughout the year to keep the story of Jesus fresh all year.

Option 2 – Book-at-a-Time Bible Reading Plan (attached to this email

http://www.navpress.com/uploadedFiles/BRP2.pdf

Description: Read Old and New Testament books in each month’s readings, with the four gospels spread throughout the year. Read the complete Bible in one year. This reading plan has 25 readings per month, which gives you a few grace days to keep from falling behind.

Option 3 – New and Old Testament by Genre

Description: This Bible reading plan (from Into Thy Word) is set up for you to go through the entire Bible in a year. But with a twist: It divides up your reading into the main types of Genres (literature) such as Gospels, Law, Narrative (History), Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, and Epistles! That way you can go though the entire Bible by reading the different Genre types. This is a unique plan that will help keep your pace up and prevent you from losing interest and giving up!

Option 4 – Chronological Bible Reading Plan

Description: Take a journey through the entire Bible reading passages in chronological order. Read the events of the Bible as they occurred chronologically. For example, the Book of Job is integrated with Genesis because Job lived before Abraham.

Option 5 = Read the Bible in a year by email

Option 6 – ESV’s Bible Reading Plans (RSS, Mobile) http://www.esv.org/resources/reading-plans-devotions/

ESV has 10 different Bible Reading Plans available in five different formats – Web, RSS, iCal, Mobile and you can print a hard copy. If you like the ESV this may be the best option for you.

Option 7 – Biblca’c NIV Bible Reading Plans (RSS, XML Feeds)http://www.biblica.com/bibles/daily-reading/

Description: These feeds can be used to receive the daily Scripture or to display on your web site. The start date for these feeds is January 1 [the start date can not be customized for feeds]. The feeds are provided by Google’s Feedburner and can be used on many services including Facebook, iGoogle, My Yahoo!, Windows Live, myAOL, e-mail, your mobile phone and more. This is the option I chose because I use the NIV more than any other translation. And now the daily readings will appear in my google reader every day in 2012. Pretty amazing!
