Many of us begin the year by starting an annual read through the Bible. There are many plans that can guide you through the Bible in a year, but the one I use is the Daily Reading Bible NASB. It’s only available in digital format and can be purchased from Kindle through Amazon for $5. The thing I especially like about this guide is that it has you reading an OT and NT passage each day, and if you look for it, you can find a connection between them.
I’ve recently discovered something else that can help you succeed on your journey though the Bible; illustrated overviews of the books of the Bible. They are produced by BibleProject, a nonprofit, crowdfunded organization that makes free resources like videos, podcasts, articles and classes that help people experience the Bible. It was formed ten years ago by a couple of former Bible college roommates. One of them had become a teaching pastor and college professor with a PhD in Semitic languages, and the other founded digital and marketing companies. They decided to combine their talents and love for the Bible to create the BibleProject.
While everything I’ve looked at that they’ve produced is excellent and biblical, I especially like their overviews. They outline the structure of each book and summarize what they contain. The easiest way to find them is to go to YouTube and simply type in Bible Project Overviews. They will look like the illustration I’ve printed below. If you want to see what they all look like, you can ask Caleb Luzio. He’s made a book out of all of them!
God Bless, Rick
