Well, in case you’re wondering about the plan I’m following this year for the Bible read through, here it is. It’s kind of a mash-up we put together for First Baptist in Thunder Bay this year. It takes the best of the Robert Murray M’Cheyne plan and simplifies it to work with Grant Horner’s perpetual Bible bookmark method. What we end up with is four bookmarks and four single chapter readings a day. That’s about 15–20 minutes if you read slowly, like I do.

Reading 1: Matthew – Revelation, Proverbs, Psalms 81–150
Reading 2: Genesis – First Chronicles
Reading 3: Second Chronicles – Malachi (Skip Psalms – Song of Solomon)
Reading 4: Psalms 1–80, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Matthew – Revelation

So you end up reading through the New Testament twice in a year (and you’re always reading something from the NT, and for four or five months in the middle of the year, you’re getting two NT readings a day,) and the Old Testament once in a year. The bookmarks make it easy to know where you’re going and with three of the four readings you have a number of spare days so you can catch up if you need to.
