This year in the interest of taking more time to study and meditate on what I read I am reducing my reading to one time through this year.

I am also going to do it in Chronological order. That means I will be reading the Bible in the order things happened as much as possible (Job lived before Abraham so I will read some Genesis and then all of Job and then continue with Abraham.)

I really hope this will open my eyes a little more to connect the prophets with the history books, and Paul’s letters with the book of acts. I invite you to join me, I will be posting on my reading at least once per week and if anyone is interested I can make them a guest poster, it is as easy as typing. Anyway, I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say as we read the Bible together again. As a note all of these link to the Contemporary English Bible, which I have found to be very understandable and easy to read. (Update: I have changed all the links to the English Standard Version due to a recommendation from a minister I greatly respect.  Read Why We Preach from the English Standard Version
