Some people read better with a pen in hand. These are simple paperback journals with the whole plan printed in, a box to check every day, and room to write.
Year One
10 chapters a day (Horner plan)
Professor Grant Horner’s ten-list system in a journal: one chapter a day from each of ten parts of Scripture — Gospels, Law, Letters, Wisdom, Psalms, Proverbs, History, Prophets and Acts. Each day has checkboxes for all ten readings and room to write down what stood out.
A Daily Bible Reading Journal
9 chapters a day, in three sittings
Scripture through the whole day, not just one corner of it. Nine lists, from the Gospels and Acts to the Prophets, one chapter from each every day, read three at a time in the morning, at noon and at night. Each sitting takes about 15 to 20 minutes and ends with space for a few notes.
Read Through the Bible in One Year
4 chapters a day
Robert Murray M’Cheyne’s classic calendar in book form: the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice in a year, in four short readings a day. Made for families reading together.
Finished Year One? The Simple Bible Reading Journal continues:
Amazon links are paid links: Daily Bible Journal earns a small commission on qualifying purchases, at no cost to you.
About 70 to 90 hours in total. At three or four chapters a day — 15 to 20 minutes — you will read all 1,189 chapters in a year.
If you have never read the whole Bible, start with the New Testament in 90 days or the one-year plan. If you want variety each day, choose M’Cheyne. If you want to read a lot and see Scripture side by side, try Horner’s ten-chapter plan.
Yes. Every plan on this site can be read online, printed, or downloaded as a PDF at no cost. The journals are optional printed books for people who like to keep their reading on paper.
Every plan here lets you pick up where you left off. A plan is a help, not a scorecard; the point is to keep coming back to Scripture.
