bible reading

Just last week I discovered Professor Grant Horner's Bible Reading System.  I am on my seventh day of this reading plan.  What I appreciate most about this Bible reading format is that it requires only 10 chapters per day from different "sections" of the Bible.  This is doable for even the most busy people (which amounts to 30-45 minutes of reading).  For example, one section is the Pentateuch (Genesis - Deuteronomy), another is the Psalms.  Proverbs has its own section, as do the Prophets and the Gospels and the Book of Acts, and so on and so forth.  The second thing I really appreciate about this reading system is that once you complete a section, you don't stop reading that section, but you go back to the beginning of that section and begin again - so the reading never ends, it cycles back to the beginning.  This practice is very formative for a student of Scripture because it helps to draw connections between each section of Scripture and aids the reader in interpreting Scripture with Scripture.  You can download a free copy of Professor Grant Horner's Bible Reading System here.  Thanks to Justin Buzzard for sharing this reading plan.
