For those who struggle with getting through some of the books I have found this Genres plan to be a great way to read through the Bible. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UcJt_V8OpRW5yGFL9H2M9bI6eo36W1-OcIodbsj0kng/edit?usp=sharingtwiga92https://www.blogger.com/profile/16751327144782362475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-84963293921297078252014-12-29T09:22:33.937-05:002014-12-29T09:22:33.937-05:00I agree with both of you, Kim and Kathleen.

I hope my post hasn't been taken that way, because that was not my intent at all!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975604185902947297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-13782102536592749552014-12-29T09:15:54.352-05:002014-12-29T09:15:54.352-05:00I'm no teacher, but I agree with Kim--I starte...I'm no teacher, but I agree with Kim--I started putting tiny checkmarks next to the books in my bible's table of contents once I've read them, with the goal being to eventually read them all. When I finish one, I usually look for another without a checkmark and go there next. No certain pace or order. And, of course, if I need to re-read a book I've recently studied because I feel I need to hear it again, I do so. No pressure to skip something I think my heart needs at that moment.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259357308978051415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-81482387025001890862014-12-29T05:50:05.928-05:002014-12-29T05:50:05.928-05:00As a teacher of the bible, I have found knowing th...As a teacher of the bible, I have found knowing the entire scope of the bible has really helped me. I don't think one needs to read through the bible every year, but knowing the history of Israel, especially, is helpful. I think instead of putting pressure on oneself to accomplish that feat in a specific time period, one could just set out to read the bible in its entirety, on her own schedule.
