  1. You can begin at any time in the year. In fact the sooner the better. Don't get discouraged, experts say it takes about six weeks to form a new habit, but keep trying - it's worth it.
  2. To prevent the frustation of falling behind, which most of us tend to do when following a Bible reading plan, each month of this plan gives you only 25 readings. Since you'll have several "free days" each month, you could set aside Sundays to either not read at all or to catch up on any readings you may have missed in the past week. If you finish the month's readings by the 25th, you could use the final days of the month to study the passages that challenged or especially intrigued you.
  3. If reading through the entire Bible in one year looms as too large a task, you can alter the plan to meet your needs. For example, you could read the gospels and the wisdom books this year, and the other two categories next year.
  4. As you read each day, ask God to speak directly to you from the Scripture portions you read. Be expectant, and let your continual exposure to God's Word reshape your attitudes and behavior as you gain a better understanding of every part of His written testimony to us.
