Woo!Hoo! I completed my 2018 New Year’s Resolution (that I never considered until last year)…to read the entire Bible.
Late last year Doreen Virtue introduced on Instagram two One Year Bibles formatted Chronologically as well as one with Old and New Testament, plus Psalm and Proverb selection for each day of the year. Doreen posts a 30 minute video on Instagram daily for the respective readings. Video archives are loaded on VIMEO. I find Doreen’s knowledge of New Age teaching helpful, clarifying subjects which are confounded with study of the Bible. She is a joyful researcher.
With hindsight:
I preferred the Original One Year Bible in the first half of the year. It helped me get thru the Old Testament with the variety of additional readings.
I preferred the Chronological One Year Bible in the second half of the year. I found the Gospels compelling having multiple narratives on the same time line.
With this experience…now what do I do? My inspiration comes from How to Master the English Bible by James M. Gray promoted by S Boutwell. The last five pages are gems of advice. Read the books of the Bible as books! Multiple times…as many as fifty times. (That sounds like more than a year long endeavor.) For the longer Old Testament books, it suggests to consider as multiple books. For the shorter books, it suggests combining them. Look for a follow up post in the New Year!

Way to go. I am proud of you for sticking to your guns what are you going to do thus year.
Thank you! I will read the Bible again with a different approach. The recommendation that interests me the most is to concentrate on a “book” at a time. I haven’t decided what order. Happy New Year!
