    Having read 22 of the 66 books of the Bible; now read the remaining books, usually
    alternating OT and NT books, but remembering you will need to read a few OT books in a row,
    since the remainder isnt equal. Finish with the Book of Revelation.

    Some Procedural Notes:


    1.
    To complete the reading of the Bible in one yearread four chapters per day. This will
    get you through the text in one year.
    2.

    Read with pen/highlighter, and paper available. Highlight passages you want to
    remember, and note passages that are confusing or that cause questions.

    3.

    The purpose of reading through the whole Bible is not in depth study, but greater
    familiarity with the whole of Scripture. Dont feel that you must plumb the depths of
    every reading
