Bible Reading Plans
There are lots of ways to read the Bible. Having some sort of plan is one good way to make sure you read some of God’s Word every day, because there’s somewhere you’re supposed to be up to. Pick a plan that is realistic for your stage in life—if you have babies or toddlers at home, God knows you’re up to your eyeballs. Try a verse a day until you have more free time!
Here are some varied ways to enjoy reading the Bible—it can be nice to try a new way each year, to keep things fresh, to see the Word from a new perspective, and to gain new insights. Print a plan, slip it between the pages of your Bible, and mark the days off as you read them.

This one is 683 chapters (out of 1189 in the entire Bible), a lighter, modified version of the excellent 52-week reading plan, by Michael Coley. I adapted this to use the next year after I had read the whole Bible and needed a lighter schedule for a breather.
