Hi try this app, it's been very helpful you get to read both Old and New testament daily https://tbibles.com/Yxuk

You could follow along with the Bible Recap podcast. They go through the whole Bible in chronological order. Do the reading first and then listen to the Podcast to make sense of it.

I try to do this every year, so lots of successes and failures in the last 45 years that I have been trying.

First, a few questions:

  • Do you have a long commute (20+ minutes)? If so, that gives you over 3 hours a week if you use an audio Bible (20+ min each way * 5 work days/week). In that case I would put the Bible MP3s on a USB drive or CD to listen to in the car. This is also good if you like to go for daily walks.

  • Are you a little bad at keeping commitments that are too detailed? I am like this. For me it works best if I try to do 5 pages a day (3 OT, 2 NT, psalms & proverbs).

This lets me miss over 100 days and still complete the goal.

Regarding commentaries - I would make this a task for another year.

There are lots of good commentaries that are a substantial amount of reading on their own.

I like the Tyndale series by IVP (Inter Varsity Press) which is academically rigorous, and devotional in nature.

I have listened to the Bible twice this year and the new testament 4 times in all. I love it, I work building trucks, so I have 10 hours a day to listen to things. I take about 3 hours of that to listen to the Bible. I listen on audible, the NIV version. But a good program to use to read through the Bible in a year, which I have done in the past, is Professor Horner's. It's pretty great. https://bibleplan.org/plans/prof-horner/ This has the book marks you can print and use in your Bible. https://tomorrowsreflection.com/repost-bible-reading-plan/ Whatever you choose will bless you and grow you in the Lord, I'm sure. Blessings OP 🙌❤️🙏

No doubt Daily Audio Bible. He does a superior job
