2015 Bible Reading Plans



A vital spiritual practice for a Christian is the consistent reading of God’s Word and while the desire is there what you need is a plan. Below are several options in terms of Bible reading/study plans, many of which are found in one of the literature racks in the hallway on the north end of the Atrium. We encourage you to pick:

• One or more plans,

• Choose a good time to read, and

• Someone to encourage you throughout the year to keep up the good work.

Here are some suggested plans (bolded plans are available in our literature racks):

• Read through the Bible in one year [maybe try a different Bible translation]

• 25 readings a month plan *

• 25 readings a month, BUT just through the New Testament *

• Read from a one year Bible (various ones can be purchased, including chronological Bibles)
