Where To Start

Where should you start when reading the Scriptures? With the material about Jesus. That is the New Testament and especially the gospels. Here is my suggested order for reading the whole Bible. It will take about three years to finish if you read one chapter per day and one year to finish if you read 3 or 4 chapters a day.

1-Read the New Testament in order, starting with Matthew and going book by book until you reach the last chapter of Revelation. This will give you a good idea bout Jesus, the Church and Christian living.

2-Then go back to the beginning of the Bible and read Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy which tells you how things began and God's order for Creation, mankind and society.

3-The read the Psalms in order from 1 to 50 then take a break (there are 150 of them).

4-Read Isaiah 40-66, Daniel, Amos, Hosea, Jonah, Haggai, Zechariah, Lamentations and Malachi which should help you grasp the prophets.

5-Then read Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, and Song of Solomon - known as the Wisdom Literature.

6-Joshua , Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1& 2 Kings, 1& 2 Chronicles - this will give you a good grasp of the history of Israel.

7-Then go back and read the New Testament from start to finish all over again.

8-Then go back and read another 50 Psalms (51-100)

9-Then tackle the Old Testament laws in Leviticus and Numbers.

10-More prophets - Ezekiel, Isaiah 1-39, Jeremiah these are the "major prophets"

11-Finish with some less known books Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Joel, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakkuk, &Zephaniah

12-Then finish the last 50 Psalms (101-150)

I was going to copy/paste the plan, but it's better to go to the link. :-D

I don't have a link but, I always enjoy reading the proverb chapter that matches the day of the month- emme and I/pete have been doing that lately. also- reading the proverb or any other book chapter that matches you birthdate on your birthday. I recently read all the proverbs for our b-days and was amzed at how appropiate they were for each of us. Good jumping ground for prayer=)

Madre, for whatever reason your link wouldnt work on my computer, but Jeanine your's did and it looks good. I like the possibility of understanding the bible like that, how all the books can correspond to one another, or something like that.

The only problem is that it seems very heavy. Im not sure I could really read all that AND digest it and understand it ykwim?

[Madre]

Hmmm. I tried it again and it worked for me. If you're interested, Gen, just Google 90 day Bible reading schedule. It will be the first entry.
