Yearly Bible Reading Guide

A Suggested Plan: Week by Week

This is the same Bible reading guide mentioned by Mack in the program at the beginning of the year. It offers readings on a weekly schedule rather than day by day, so you can pace yourself as you wish. Completion of the full 52 week reading will take you through the complete Bible, once through the Old Testament and twice through the New Testament. Below the reading schedule are some suggested passages for various trials and triumphs of life.
