Listed below is the printable Daily Bible Reading Program for the Old Testament
For better understanding the order of Books in the Plan is different than as arranged in the Bible. The Historical Books are grouped together in chronological order, then the Books of the Prophets are likewise, grouped together in chronological order, so there is better continuity in understanding.
An explanation of the order of both the old and Testament Books is found in the book ” Isn’t it Time you REALLY READ the Holy Bible”, which is available on Amazon, but soon to be available here formatted for online reading, at no charge
Although reading the Holy Bible every day is great, past experience has shown that few actually complete such a Plan, and then feel guilt for having failed.
Our recommendation is that you ‘ read as you would a novel ‘, reading as much as you wish, as often as you can.
Remember, ” When you think of God, He Smiles ! ” … and he will be smiling, each time you think of Him.
