The start of the calendar year seems like an opportune time to begin a daily bible reading plan. One of my favorites is the One Year Bible. The plan takes you through the entire bible, with each day including a reading from (1) the Old Testament, (2) the New Testament, (3) Proverbs, and (4) Psalms. (The plan actually cycles through Psalms twice over the course of the calendar year.)
Each of those four segments proceeds through the bible "in order," meaning from beginning to end in the bible's modern format. Although that might seem a bit mechanical, I find that, by simultaneously emphasizing both the Old and New Testaments, the plan does a remarkable job of bringing the entire bible into harmony.
Publishers have release printed and e-book versions of the One Year Bible, but it is not necessary to purchase those. Rather, one can use the website itself as a guide of what to read, and when to read it.
(The being the 8th of January, I meant to post this a few days ago, but it's not too late to get started!)
