A challenge for me

I don't have any help on this one. I read according to my bible study at church.

thank you very much for posting this

I read the Bible and mark and date the day I read a chapter. So, if I read Psalm 118, I just date it. This way I have a record in my Bible of what I've read. I don't like the skip around method designed by someone else.

depends on what works for you. if you start from genesis & go straight through it can be kinda dry sometimes. it can also be a little confusing because the books aren't in chronological order.
if you go the other route, you get several different flavors in one meal. this can kinda make up for the skipping around (like, remembering where you left off).
either way it's very helpful to read a bible commentary along with the bible itself. reading the historical context & more about what was happening at the time really clears up stuff that the bible doesn't spell out. the one i have is wilmington's bible commentary. it will double the amount of reading you do each time but the clarity might be worth it.
i was never able to find an online reading plan that included a commentary with it but that seems like the ideal approach to me.
another alternative would be something like a daily devotional. the one i read every day is at www.intouch.org. there's a short bible reading and its relevance to us is explained in a short essay. it won't get you through the whole bible exactly. instead it hits important points one by one. when i was reading through the whole bible i read that also every day.
my favorite thing about reading it all the way through was hitting all the prophecies about the Messiah. for example when abraham is told not to sacrifice isaac, he says 'God will provide the lamb' instead. of course this is foreshadowing how God provided Jesus as the sacrificial lamb for us.

I am trying to read the bible this year too. I have read most of it, but mainily I study topics and related chapters. I have never just sat and read it front to back. This year I am trying to read a lot more and help my family learn that I love it. Thanks for the links to help us all get organized.

I bought a bible that walks you thru the bible daily and gives you the verses to read and a verse to focus on for the day. I love it. You don't read every word of the bible, but I don't think that's important. I'd do it from front to back, personally!

Great thoughts and ideas from everyone. Do you mind sharing what is helping you - such as the title of any books that have helped you.

I would do the first one. It would help you stay focused. Skipping around is nice but if you are trying to read it everyday, you do not need any more distractions.

My stake chooses a different part every year whether it be the Old Testament, New Testament, or other books from our faith. They print a schedule every week to be distributed to each ward and member to keep everyone on track. It seems to help keep people on track.

Thanks for sharing, I read according to what I'm focusing on.
