Here are some other plans, from various organisations, but all free to reproduce and share as widely as possible. We have saved them here as pdfs for you to download and print at home.

Read through the NT in a year – 5 readings are allocated per week so you can catch-up easily if you miss a day or two. Alternatively, you can set weekends aside for reflection, other reading or other spiritual disciplines. This is especially helpful if you’re new to daily Bible reading or if you want something slower than reading the whole Bible in a single year.

The whole Bible in a year, 5 days a week, chronologically – with 2 days a week off to allow time for other reading, etc. This plan has an OT and a NT reading each day. Reading the Bible chronologically is a really interesting option if you’ve read the Bible several times before and are looking for a different approach from just starting at the beginning and carrying on until the end – although, spoiler alert, you do still start with Genesis and end with Revelation!

The whole Bible in a year, 7 days a week – each having a different theme which runs throughout the year: Epistles, The Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, Gospels – for people who like multi-tasking!

The whole Bible in a year, 4 readings a day – for those who REALLY like multi-tasking… This pattern has 2 NT and 2 OT readings per day, so would also split easily into a 2 year plan. This plan has 25 days of readings allocated per month, again to allow time for catching up, further reading or exploring other spiritual disciplines.

Chronological bible in a year – this traditional BIOY scheme is more chronological than the one above! Hard to explain, so if you want to follow a chronological plan, have a look at both…

Two year plan – does what it says on the tin! With catch-up days sprinkled throughout…

Three year plan – takes the Bible at a slower pace, a chapter a day – works well for people who like to plan long-term or in conjunction with another devotional.
