“Read-through-the-Bible plans die a thousand deaths here. There’s no question Leviticus can be daunting, but it contains amazing lessons that should reduce us to our knees in worship. Here are four things it teaches that make it must-reading for followers of Christ.” - TGC
“The book invites the reader into a long journey, and in that process our lives may be shaken up but ultimately transformed.” - TGC
“Here is the annual set of Bible reading schedules that you have become accustomed to seeing here. The dates are adjusted on these to match the beginning of the weeks for 2020. This year, the schedules start on 1/5 at the beginning of the first full week of the year. This way, you have a few days to catch up on last year’s reading, or get ahead on this year’s reading.” - Matt Postiff
“From one stumbling pilgrim to another, here are five suggestions for what not to do in 2020.” - Church Leaders
“Data suggests Christians are unaware of the effect the medium has on the message.” - Christianity Today
“I suspect nearly 100 percent of the people who took part in the study and who attend my church believe they are supposed to be reading the Bible through the week and that they feel some guilt that they are not doing so….This leads me to a few points of personal application that may be helpful to you as well.” - Challies
“On the one hand, reading large portions of Scripture seems quite logical. On the other, you will find a large number of Christians who have never done it. Why is there a gap here? The question has a complex answer, but I think one reason concerns Bible typography.” - DBTS Blog

Two weeks into 2019 and I’m guessing some of us are already behind in our yearly Bible reading plan. If you’re like me, getting one or two days behind in January can be discouraging enough to want to call the whole thing off.
That’s what happened to me last year. I had an ambitious 10-chapter-per-day plan to get me through the whole Bible twice, and the New Testament three times. But this plan also meant that missing a day or two made catching up a major undertaking.
John Piper: “Reading through the Bible in a year involves about four or five chapters a day. If you think you have to remember all you read while you’re reading those four or five chapters, this will feel absolutely overwhelming and pointless.” - CPost
