This blog is not about pushing our favorite doctrines. It is not about debate (though I’m sure at times we might get some good discussion going). It is just about promoting the reading of Scripture. It is about reading it with a view to learning something each day.

This blog is driven by my book of the same title. I figured out if we read two chapters of the New Testament each week day, we can read the whole New Testament in exactly six months. My book provides a note page for each day of reading with a section of very simple questions to devote your mind to the text and some thought questions to help you take the study as deep as you want it. It also contains a weekly group discussion guide if you would like to take this journey with some friends.

Whether you get the book or not, this blog provides a spot for us to discuss how the Word has hit us. I hope you will join me each weekday and read the New Testament together. Each day, I will blog about how the day’s reading struck me. Usually, I will pick out some part of the reading that impacted me in a special way. Feel free to comment about my thoughts or share with other Bible readers some part of the day’s reading that really

resonated with you. When we are all sharing how the Word impacts us, we will all grow together.

If you want to maximize your experience, you can purchase my “Give Attention to Reading” book at my Streamside Supplies store.

Schedule for Reading

We will not read directly through the New Testament. The main reason for this is simply that I didn’t want to read all four gospel accounts one after another. Instead, we are going to follow a loose thematic and author approach. We’ll read the books in the following order, reading two chapters every weekday. I leave Saturdays open to have a day to catch up. After all, life does happen. I leave Sundays open to be the day you study with your home congregation.

1. Luke
2. Acts
3. Romans
4. Galatians
5. Ephesians
6. Philippians
7. Colossians
8. Mark
9. I Peter
10. II Peter
11. Jude
12. I Corinthians
13. II Corinthians
14. I Thessalonians
15. II Thessalonians
16. Matthew
17. Hebrews
18. James
19. Philemon
20. I Timothy

P.S. I am currently working on a version for the Old Testament. Hopefully, by the time we are done with our present trek through the New Testament, we will be ready for the Old.
