Reading Through the Bible in a Year Easily

One Year Bibles Offer a Daily Bible Study Plan That Really Works

Nov 4, 2009

Many people start the New Year with a resolution to read through the entire Bible in one year, two or three chapters a day, as part of their daily Bible study.

Reading the Bible in a year can be a challenging but enjoyable task for a religious individual. But somewhere around the middle of February, the plan gets bogged down, a few days get missed, and within a week, one year Bible plan has been abandoned, along with other New Year’s resolutions. But there’s a very easy way to read through the Bible in a year, and that’s by purchasing a one year Bible, or by reading through the Bible by using an electronic one year Bible online.

Advantages of One Year Daily Study Bible

A one year Bible is set up differently than the typical Bible. Some one year Bibles have a daily reading from the Old Testament, one from the New Testament, one from the Psalms, and possibly one from Proverbs printed out for each day, starting with January 1. Having readings arranged by date has several advantages for reading straight through the Bible in a year.

First, the readings are printed out in the order they’ll be read. No more flipping from one part of the bible to the other and losing bookmarks. Readings have variety. Rather than starting with Genesis and plowing through to Revelations, each day’s reading gives an Old and New Testament lesson, plus the comfort of the Psalms and the wisdom of Proverbs.

However, for those who like to keep things in order,there are also Bibles that are divided into daily chronological Bible readings. One year Bibles can be found in different translations, such as King James Version (KJV) the New International Version (NIV) and the New Living Translation (NLT).

If a day is missed, pick up at the next day’s reading, or just read through a Psalm, or New Testament that day. Reading through most of the Bible is better than giving up altogether when a day or two is missed. Reading through the Bible shouldn’t be stress inducing!

Finding the Right One Year Bible in Print or Online

There are many different one year Bibles in print and online. Tyndale House Publishers is one of the largest publishers of one year Bibles. They put out a soft cover one year Bible in every translation, including a Catholic edition, as well as one for children. They even have a large print addition!

Online, the One Year Bible Online and Bible Gateway sites both offer daily electronic Bible readings in all the different translations. The online Bible has an Old and New Testament daily reading plan plus a chronological Bible reading plan.Gateway has a daily Old and New Testament reading plan, a chronological reading plan and a historical reading plan for those who want to do readings in the order they were written.

Reaping the Benefits of Daily Bible Readings

Reading through the Bible in a year is a great goal for an ambitious Christian, but it shouldn’t be a chore. Bibles arranged specifically for easy one year reading make daily Bible reading simpler and more enjoyable. Online sites with daily readings are easy to access and as close as the internet. Choose one and get started, and in a year, the readings will go through the Bible in just 15-20 minutes a day.
