READ THROUGH THE BIBLE IN 2 YEARS
Reading through the Bible is a daunting task, no doubt. So, I set out to try to make it less intimidating. There are all kinds of scripture reading programs. If you follow a one year program and you fall behind, it is difficult to get caught up again. I tried to find a program that allowed for some wiggle room for you, the reader. But I couldn’t find one that appealed to me. I didn’t want us to follow a program just so we could say at the end that we read through the Bible. So, I developed a Scripture reading program that meets the following criteria:
Read 3 chapters a day; 5 days a week Separate the Book of Psalms out from the rest of Scripture. So, to begin with, we will read from the Psalms. Harmonize the books of 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles. These books overlap in some areas. So, I made the attempt to put it all in chronological order as well as follow up certain time periods with the prophetic books written during those periods.
I know this plan won’t be perfect. But, I feel it will be a plan we all can follow together. In fact, this plan is better than just reading through the Bible in 2 years. Here is what we will actually do:
We will read through the Old Testament in 2 years (2 chapters a day) We will read through the New Testament 2 times in the same amount of time (1 chapter a day – the second year the reading is arranged by the date the book/letter was written. Interestingly, we begin 2020 with the Gospel of John and end 2021 with the Gospel of John.)
Notice that I did not begin with Genesis and Matthew. I started with Isaiah and John. Let’s begin seeing a clear picture of who Jesus is. AND, let’s devote ourselves to being in God’s Word and knowing Him.

reading both accounts as we try to move through Israel’s chronology, beginning with 1
Chronicles 10, we will concentrate our efforts on only one of the passages. (1
Chronicles chapters 1-9 are not included in our reading. They are genealogies. Feel
free to add them to your reading if you wish.)
