My One Year Reading Plan

Although a good plan, I have since updated my yearly bible reading plan that includes many other readings and resources. Click here.

I developed my own One Year Bible Reading Plan because most of the plans on the internet were in order of the Holy Bible which finished the year reading Revelation during Advent and Christmas. I somehow thought that after a full year of intense Bible study I couldn’t see myself reading about the apocalypse and Armageddon during Christmas, simply because Advent came at the end of the end and coincided with the ending chapters of the bible.

I decided to divide up the themes of the Holy Bible across a 7 day period for 52 weeks. I found an excellent little church in New Zealand called “City” https://city.org.nz. The pastor there worked up a plan that was heavy on theme rather than chronological. Here is a link to that bible reading plan: One Year Reading Plan. I discovered the time periods each book was written with help from the ESV Study Bible. I then came up with a excel spreadsheet, printable for one page with highlights to show the time periods and themes.
