      <title>Reading the Bible in a Year</title>
      <description>Let's face it, reading the Bible regularly is tough work.&amp;nbsp; You wouldn't think so.&amp;nbsp; Most of us can handle English just fine.&amp;nbsp; But it's not the language and grammar of reading that's the problem.&amp;nbsp; It's the desire, the time, the commitment, the battle with sin and temptation, etc.&amp;nbsp; There's also all that about figuring out what to read.&amp;nbsp; Do I just let the book drop open and plant my finger somewhere on the page and pick out a random verse?&amp;nbsp; Or is there more than that?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd suggest to you that a systematic, regular, reading through the Bible daily is most helpful.&amp;nbsp; And there are seemingly countless &quot;methods&quot; for reading through the Bible in a year (check out the schedule in the appendix of Dr. Douglas Kelly's &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;If God Already Knows, Why Pray?&lt;/span&gt;).&amp;nbsp; However, I'm giving you links to three fairly popular reading schedules.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ligonier Ministries, founded and chaired by Dr. R.C. Sproul, has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ligonier.org/media/uploads/2010_PDF_BibleInAYear-WEB.pdf&quot; target=&quot;&quot;&gt;this that you can download as a pdf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;Robert Murray M'Cheyne's schedule is just about the gold standard.&amp;nbsp; We have hard copies of them at the church, but you can have options if you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bibleplan.org/mcheyne.htm&quot; target=&quot;&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;Finally, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esv.org/biblereadingplans&quot; target=&quot;&quot;&gt;ESV Bible website&lt;/a&gt; has a plethora of choices for you as well.&amp;nbsp; Ooh, they even have M'Cheyne's schedule available in an iCal-compatible format (for Outlook, iCal, Google calendar, and more).&lt;br&gt;</description>
