Bible Reading Schedule

There are many different plans and schedules to read the Bible.  Some suggest reading 15 minutes a day, others suggest a half hour, and others advocate even longer.  Some would say to read 10 verses of the Bible, others would say one chapter, and still others would recommend ten chapters.  Some would recommend choosing a Bible book and reading it ten times, over and over.  And others would advocate beginning in Genesis and reading straight through to Revelation—then repeating this schedule.  There are benefits and disadvantages to some of these plans and programs.  We do believe that regular, planned, careful reading is the best—rather than sporadically reading or reading here and there, without any system.

We’ve never tried the following Bible reading schedule but it may appeal to some of you who wish to have a general overview of the entire Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation.  This schedule was formulated and is practiced by Wes from his website.  You can print this page and then note the date and perhaps the time it takes to read each section.  Please see the accompanying schedule for the suggested times for reading.
