BIBLE-READING PLAN

God's story of our salvation

Trace God’s story of grace in this Bible-reading plan. You won’t be studying every verse or chapter, but you’ll grow in faith as you read chronologically through sections of the Bible and see God’s grace in each account. Sections are shorter to help new readers dig in without getting lost. Each month includes four weeks of readings. This allows readers to not fall behind if they miss a reading or two because catch-up days are built into each month. If you finish the readings for the month early, you can use Forward in Christ's devotions for a quick daily reading, re-read a favorite portion of Scripture, or spend time meditating on a more challenging portion of Scripture from that month's readings.
