I’ve been doing the same bible reading plan for the last 4 years. It’s time to mix it up a bit! So starting on September 1 I am beginning a 12-month reading plan written by John Stott. John Stott, who died at the age of 90 in 2011, is one of my favourite authors. I appreciate his clear, compelling and Christ-centred writing. His commentaries in the Bible Speaks Today series have been a particular help in preaching. The new reading plan is from a book Through the Bible, Through the Year with ‘Daily Reflections from Genesis to Revelation.’ Stott is the legend flossin the blue tracksuit and bird-watching binoculars in the pic below.
Key features
- Read through an overview of the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation
- Each day has a short bible reading with a short devotional comment from Stott
- Each day has a suggestion for further reading in the Bible
- September until Christmas, read the Old Testament story from the creation until the coming of Christ
- January through April, read the story of Jesus in the Gospels
- May through August, read the story of Acts through Revelation

Keen to join in?
Doing physical exercise is often easier when you do it in a group. Likewise with spiritual exercise. A number of people have already indicated they’re keen. If you want to join in, let me know in the comments below. If you’re not sure, perhaps you could do the first two weeks for free and then make a decision.

I was legit wrestling with myself and the thought that I don’t have time to do this bible reading plan. I don’t have time to do the thing that I do want to do… Rom 7 much?
Let’s do it!
good decision beaver. good decision!
Yes! SO good! I’ve been looking at similar things but this one stood out – I don’t don’t know why, maybe God? Definitly a God thing! So I’m in too! Thanks for sharing this Dave!
I think pretty much every time we’re prompted to read the bible it’s a God thing :)
stoked you’re in!
i hope you’re massively encouraged by it.
Looks so good brother. I’m in too! Just read the first reflection. God is Creator and Sustainer and we can depend on him for life and all things. So good.
