For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of Bible reading plans for
you to choose from. Maybe in 2019 you will read more of the Bible each day.
Perhaps you’ll slow down your reading and instead spend more time considering
what you read. Whatever it is you’re looking for in a reading plan, you should find it below:

Thanks @Miri :)

I mentioned this in another thread, but there are one year audio Bible "listening" plans out there as well for those who struggle with reading, or are just looking to change things up this year, etc. (you can, in fact, buy the One Year Bible in audio form .. in the NLT, I believe .. and I think that you can listen to it for free here as well).

Here is a free Apple/Android App from Bible Gateway that offers an interesting way to go "audio" this year too: https://www.biblegateway.com/bible-audio-app/ (especially since it comes with a timer). The NIV Dramatized Audio Bible, for instance, is 75 hours 30 minutes long, so someone could listen through the entire Bible in just 76 days this year if they were willing to put in an hour per day (which is a pretty simple thing to do because of the app's timer :)).

Again, both the app and the audio Bibles at Bible Gateway are free for anyone to use/listen to (the various online audio Bibles can be found here: https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/niv/Gen.1).

I use "The Year Bible NIV" available in Kindle format. It uses various verses daily from all part of the Bible. For example for January 20 it displays: Genesis 41:17–42:17; Matthew 13:24-36; Psalm 18:1-15 and Proverbs 4:1-6.

If you use a Kindle, one can use a credit instead of cash. A Kindle customer receives credits every month.

At this time, I am doing a thorough study in the book of Acts. The book of Acts or rather of actions taken after Jesus rose from the dead. What you find in this book are a list of characters. Some who came to believe. Some who look to kill those who believed. As in Acts 7:54-60) And a very few are chosen. (Acts 9:15)

The Coverversion of Paul to me represents. Who Jesus chose to replace him in continuing the true Gospel. Which he did faithfully! He is the only vessel who never failed after believing!! Paul under the guidance of Holy Spirit wrote three fourths of the New Testament. (2 Peter 1:21) Paul suffered greatly!

(Acts 20-28) as well as (2 Cor 11:25-28) And was taught by Jesus himself!!!(Gal 1:11-15) The Book of Acts brings great knowledge to those who do believe, and what exactly believing is and does!!! (James 1:22).

I'm using the M'Cheyne Bible reading plan this year. I am really enjoying it!
Rare mornings when I'm crunched for time, I have used the audio version of that same plan on utube.
