The Whole Bible in a Year

365 days~15 min/day

Three to four chapters a day, Genesis to Revelation. The classic, and still the best way to see the whole story.

Reading the Bible cover to cover changes how you read every individual part of it. Connections appear that you simply cannot see reading in fragments: the sacrifices in Leviticus land differently once you have watched a whole nation fail to keep the covenant.

The honest warning: most people who abandon a year plan do it somewhere in Leviticus or Numbers, around week six. Push through those two and the rest of the year is comparatively easy.
