Have you ever thought about reading the whole Bible in a year? Maybe you have considered doing this but it seems like an impossible goal that you don’t think you could ever achieve?

Would it surprise you though to hear that if you read your Bible for 15-20 minutes each day then you would read the whole Bible in 2012? That is less time than an episode of Eastenders or Coronation Street! When you look at it like that it’s not such an impossible task and maybe you could achieve the goal of reading the whole Bible in 2012.

How do you start then as there are many different ways of reading through the Bible in a year? I personally would recommend reading the Bible chronologically and have myself used the Cover to Cover Through the Bible As It Happened reading plan which is produced by CWR.

The advantage of reading the Bible chronologically is that it enhances our understanding of the historical context of the individual books of the Bible. So the reader can see for example how books like Ezra, Hosea, Amos and Nahum fit into the history of God’s dealings with his people and helps us realise how every book in the Bible is important.

Why not make 2012 the year in which you read the whole Bible chronologically?
