Picking a Bible Plan.

I like a daily dose of wisdom books so naturally I would want a plan that would include that. My friends and I  first agreed on the Life Journal plan because that was the only one I was successful at ha ha ha but because of technical difficulties or user difficulties orrrrrr App maker difficulties I cant seem to restart the Life journal plan without erasing the evidence of my 2010 accomplishment lol. So I went back to YouVersion and I have narrowed down 4 Bible Plan options,

The Look Out Bible Plan

 Six readings per week provide the ""big biblical picture" as you read through the entire Bible in 12 months. Each day you'll read from the Gospels, another New Testament book, the Wisdom books (Job-Ecclesiastes), and another Old Testament book. As a bonus, you can begin your week with insightful commentary on your weekly readings by popular writer and speaker David Faust at www.lookoutmag.com/ (free membership required).

That sounds promising and I like the "Big biblical picture" and "insightful commentary" parts. Sample of Plan

Next we have the, ESV Study Bible Plan  
 
Includes readings from four sections of the Bible each day: the Psalms and Wisdom Literature, Pentateuch and History of Israel, Chronicles and Prophets, and Gospels and Epistles.

Some parts of The Bible really cant be applied to us Americans in 2013 so days when the reading is from Numbers and Leviticus we still have something interesting to look forward to such as "Wisdom Literature" or "Gospels"  Sample Reading

Up Next, Ownit365

The OWNit365.com plan takes you through the entire Bible in one year, with two readings per day, six days per week. The acronym "OWN" represents one daily reading from the Old Testament, along with one from the Wisdom Books or New Testament. Each day's reading is designed to balance both the amount you read as well as provide a section which is easier to understand and apply to your life.

That sounds good and all "easier to understand and apply to your life" plus "Wisdom Books"  BUT WAIT?!?! TWICE a day. Sample Reading

Last, The Bible In a Year


We set goals for ourselves each and every day. Some realistic, some not so much; some we actually reach, others we fall short of... Many people just like you desire to read through the entire Bible. Maybe you've tried and have concluded that its just too long. Remember, the Bible is God's love letter to each one of us. Why should you miss out on any of the things God wants to say to you? Start today! You can uncover God's unique love for you in the course of just one year.

I like how the Sample reading shows it starts off with Genesis and it also gives you a daily psalm and IN ORDER!!! lol one thing I didn't like about the Life Journal was I couldn't figure out the logic behind the order of the readings.

  1. I'm really leaning towards the first(Look out) and the last one(Bible in a year) listed.
