Free One-Year Bible Reading Plan
Genesis to Revelation · 365 days · KJV
Free →Not sure which to choose? The one-year plan reads straight through your Bible from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. The chronological plan rearranges the same chapters into the approximate order events happened, so Job sits with the patriarchs, the Psalms sit with David's life, and Paul's letters fit inside Acts. Both are balanced by word count, so no day is much longer than another.
Starting in January? Use the free 7-Day New Year Scripture Focus Plan as a warm-up week, then begin Day 1 on January 1.
