Questions

What is a 5-day Bible reading plan?

A one-year plan with readings on only five days a week. Saturdays and Sundays are left open to catch up, rest, or read more slowly. You still finish the whole Bible in 52 weeks.

How many chapters a day is it?

Four or five chapters on each reading day, about 20 minutes.

Do I have to read Monday to Friday?

No. The days are labeled Monday to Friday for convenience, but any five days a week work.

Why choose a 5-day plan?

Most people who stop a Bible reading plan do it after falling behind. Two open days every week give you room to catch up, which makes it much easier to finish the year.
