Does anyone have a program for reading the Bible? We are thinking of starting one and don't know quite how to approach it. We could do it from start to finish or by categories like types of books (law, history, psalms, letters), etc.

I work for my denominational offices and just created a few different reading plans. I will message your profile with a link. If anyone else would like the link, please message me and let me know.

Have a look at Bill Moyers's "Genesis" series. I own the book and it's wonderful. This PBS series has inspired Genesis study groups throughout the U.S. and has some good suggestions on running a study group. The one I particularly liked was for each person to have a turn to make a comment, but before they make their own comment, they must repeat their understanding of what the person before them said. Info is at www.PBS.org

I love the idea of starting "In the beginning . . ." and proceeding through the Old Testament and New in the order in which it is presented. Others in our Meeting are interested in started with one of the New Testament gospels. We have some of the books from the Cambridge Bible Commentaries series (one for each book of the Bible) and would probably use those and any other resources at hand.

My favorite New Testament is The Original New Testament, a translation by Hugh Schoenfield. His translation is not really different from any of the others, but his historical notes have really helped my understanding.

I really recommend Solo, An Uncommon Devotional by Eugene Peterson. Utilizing the technique of lectio divina, you read short, daily segments of the Bible (with recommendations for full chapter readings). You're encouraged to clear your mind, read the passage, and then read it again out loud. Suggestions of key points are listed for you to work/journal with, and then various ways to pray about the segment are suggested. Finally, there's a response to the reading section "Live," where applications are recommended.

It's a way to work your way through the Bible dipping into each book, or reading all the way through. I recommend it highly!

I recommend Meet the Bible by Philip Yancey and Brenda Quinn. The daily reflections by the authors are especially good.

I like Max Lucado's Grace for the Moment Daily Bible. Excerpts from his books introduce each reading--and make a good meditation focus.

I really liked Bill Moyer's Genesis video series with many relevant theologians in open discussion on the stories and their implications. It might be interesting to watch and then read? I did do a class where we read the Bible in (almost) one year. It was interesting to read the books as they are ordered in the Bible, even though we don't really know just how chronological they are. It's fun to ponder and debate that. Enjoy!

The International Bible Society have some neat offerings: http://www.biblica.com/bibles/dailyreading/

They not only have a plan, but on their site you can get the readings for the day, you can choose which version you'd like to read them in, and you can subscribe to their RSS feed and have the readings delivered to your reader (I like Google Reader) every day!

I think you'd be pleased with their site.

One could use the Episcopalian Book of Common Prayer 1979 for a daily Bible reading series. In the back of this book, there is a daily office lectionary with three readings per day stretched over a two-year period (Old Testament - Epistle - Gospel).

I think a good plan would be to do it in 66 weeks--the number of books, plus or minus. That way you can start a new book every week. You could get it down a bit by combining some of the really small stuff. But anyway I think the new-book-every-Monday rule would be good.
