FerventWord's reading schedules are unique, and developed from decades of reading through the whole Bible. The order of the books have been rearranged to provide variety and so that parallel accounts are fresh and valuable reminders when encountered again. The different reading schedules allow you to choose your time commitment.

• New Testament In 1 Year: Ideal for those who have never read through the New Testament, this schedule covers the most important passages for Christians to read, study, and meditate on, with a time commitment of about 5-10 minutes daily.
• Bible In 2 Years: With this schedule, you'll read the New Testament twice and the Old Testament once, helping to keep the life of Jesus and the ministry of the church fresh in your mind, while exploring the Old Testament in manageable chunks, committing about 15-20 minutes daily.
• Bible In 3 Years: This arrangement takes you through the Old Testament over two years, followed by the New Testament in the third year, providing a journey through the whole Bible at a comfortable pace with a commitment of about 5-10 minutes daily.
• Bible In 1 Year: Engage with the entirety of Scripture in one year, reading from two sections of the Old Testament and one section of the New Testament daily, which maintains variety and interest with a 20-30 minute daily commitment.

Whichever schedule you choose, the most important principle is this: Read today what God has appointed for you today. If you fall behind, don't stress about catching up, as this could lead to legalism or discouragement. While catching up can help maintain the continuity of historical accounts, remember that the Bible is much more than a textbook. God provides what you need for today in His Word. The goal is spending time with God, not achieving a perfect reading score. So, focus on reading today what God has appointed for you today.
