In 2001 I was challenged by a pastor to read through the bible in a year. I had read through the Bible like that, and i liked challenges, so I did. My methodology was pretty simple. Take the number of pages of my NIV bible, divide them by 365 and go. Probably more interesting ways of doing it, but there is a certain appeal of going front to back.
In 2011 I decided to repeat the task. Below is the schedule I followed.
