How to read through the Bible in a year.

You can read through the whole Bible in a year by reading 15 minutes each day; or three chapters every week day and five on Sunday. You can also follow my Bible Reading Schedule. But HOW you read is more important than how much you read.

1. Read alertly. Picture yourself in the situation.
2. Ask yourself the meaning of what you read; what it teaches you to BELIEVE; to BECOME; to DO.
3. Underline passages of help to you. Copy and memorize them. Discuss them with your family or a friend.
4. Keep a definite time for daily reading. Make it a habit, but always make it meaningful.
