I've mentioned before how much I've enjoyed the Bible Reading Plan in my Literary Study Bible. I've tried almost every Bible reading plan around, this is my favorite, and it's been the easiest for me to stick to.
I was blessed to receive an ESV Study Bible from my dear husband for Christmas, in the color that I wanted, despite the fact that Theodore didn't see the very blunt hint that I dropped a couple of months ago. It, too, contains the same reading plan found in the Literary Study Bible.
Thanks to Justin Taylor, I've discovered printable bookmarks listing the readings. The brilliant thing is, they are arranged so you can print on two sides of the paper and the readings line up correctly.
But if you don't have a printer that prints front and back automatically, just be sure you thoroughly understand how to put the paper in the printer, otherwise you will be left with several sheets of colored paper with both pages printed on the SAME SIDE. Which is illegible. Just so you know.
From the introduction to the plan:
This schedule of daily Bible readings is designed for reading through the entire Bible in one year.
There are four readings for each day. These readings are divided into four main sections: Psalms and Wisdom Literature; Pentateuch and the History of Israel; Chronicles and Prophets; and Gospels and Epistles.
In order to make the readings come out evenly, four major books of the Bible are included twice in the schedule: the Psalms (the Bible’s hymnal), Isaiah (the grandest of the OT prophets), Luke (one of the four biblical Gospels), and Romans (the heart of the Bible’s theology of salvation).
Now that I've finally got the bookmarks to print out correctly (ahem), I'm off to eat a New Year's Eve lunch, with a stop at Kinkos to have my fancy new bookmarks laminated.
Happy 2009, everyone!
