Peter DeHaan Releases Reading Guides to Encourage Regular Bible Reading and Contemplation
This year’s Bible reading guides are now available.
Read the New Testament
With an investment of less than 4 minutes a day, Monday through Friday, you can read the entire New Testament of the Bible in one year.
Read the Old Testament
For those who prefer to cover the entire Old Testament in one year, it will take a bit more time, reading about 10 to 12 minutes each day.
Read the Entire Bible
If you’re really ambitious, read the entire Bible this year. All you need to do is carve out 12 to 15 minutes each day. To find the time, just scale back the amount of time you spend on social media or watching TV. You can do it!
Monthly Reading Plan
If these options seem overwhelming, here are some alternate monthly Bible reading plans to help you ease into regular Bible reading.
The Wrong Approach…and a Better Way
Many people approach the Bible as they would a novel, starting at the beginning of Genesis and reading straight through to the end of Revelation.
This can be discouraging because readers can become bogged down in sections, such as the law and major prophets,” said A Bible A Day founder and chief writer Peter DeHaan.
“Our reading guides offer a mix of the Bible’s many genres, while still providing a logical approach.”
DeHaan notes the Bible is actually an anthology, written by many writers over a period of several centuries. It contains different forms of writing, which need to be understood as such. “The Bible is not a rule book or manual, but more of a faith narrative,” he said.
In addition to Bible reading guides, A Bible A Day also provides an overview of each book of the Bible and other resources to guide readers.
Peter DeHaan writes about biblical Christianity to confront a status quo faith and live a life that matters. He seeks a fresh approach to following Jesus through the lens of Scripture, without the baggage of made-up traditions and meaningless practices.
