LIFEJOURNAL READING PLANS & RESOURCES

These reading plans are designed to encourage you to consistently spend time in Scripture, so it becomes a life-giving habit!

What are the different plans?

  • The Story Bible Reading Plan is a collection of stories illustrating God’s character and His desire to be reconciled with the souls He created. The Story Plan summarizes the Bible’s key accounts, highlighting the events and people that played a part in God’s story of redemption.

  • The Whole Bible Reading Plan combines two readings every day, typically an Old and a New Testament passage, walking you through the entire Bible.

  • The Chronological Bible Reading Plan follows the story of how God rescued humanity through Jesus in the order that it happened. 

  • 40 Days With Jesus Bible Reading Plan is designed to lead you through the Bible in 40 days on a journey to better understand Jesus.
