I came across this when browsing the web site of a friend of mine who is pastoring at Discovery Church in Orlando. Bible Gateway is a free web site that let’s you search just about any version of the Bible by keywords, themes, etc. At the moment they have a page up called “Biographical Bible Reading Plan.” It is a 121 day plan that put the main persons of the Bible in chronological order and then provides a link to each one. Basically, you start with Adam (Gen 1:26-2:17) and read through to the Apostle John (Revelation 1). If you were to start today you would be done about the 2nd week of February.
I love the idea because nothing is cooler (in my opinion) than having a reason and purpose to studying the Bible. I’ve never been one to jump around the Bible from week to week just hoping to find something to apply. It is a much better idea to look and study in an ongoing manner, working though a book or section of the Bible. You gain better context that way.
So, if you’re up for it, here’s the link: http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/readingplans/biographical.php
