Bible Reading Plan by Tim LaHaye: I revised the chart!

Here is a new version of the Bible reading plan suggested by Tim LaHaye in his book, How to Study the Bible for Yourself.

Bible Overview Chart

I read about this chart years ago in Mary Pride's Big Book of Home Learning. I bought one right away and have used it off and on for years. There is a ton of information packed into this thing!

The Bible Overview Chart by Kenneth E. Malberg is available from Heritage Products.

Bible Reading Plans, Part 2

I wrote about my Bible reading plan here.

Then I wrote about some group Bible study plans in this post.

I just never got around to writing that "Part 2."

Here is one entry for individual Bible reading plans: The Five-Lane Reading Plan. I have not used this, but it does sound interesting. Plan to take some time to read about it and figure it out, but it seems to be a good plan.

Another plan that has been around a while is the M'Cheyne Bible Reading Plan. Read this first: a bit of history and explanation and even a "tune-up." Here is the plan, in a simple form.

An easy and interesting way to read the Bible in one year is to buy a chronological one year Bible. I own The Daily Bible: New International Version: With Devotional Insights to Guide You Through God's Word. I started it, but I never did finish it. I have trouble keeping the discipline up during the summer. I really liked it, however, and will do it again sometime.

And some other time, I would like to read the King James Version in a one-year format.

The Narrow Road

Out of the 20 (some sources say there were 19) kings of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, there were zero good kings.

Out of the 20 kings of the Southern Kingdom (Judah), there were eight good kings. (Not perfect, just good. Still sinners.)

That's one in five.

(My info is from my study Bible and something I remember from the Walk Thru the Old Testament seminar our family took years ago.)

More Gratitude

Thanks to Ann at Holy Experience for the reminder to remain grateful; to always look for the gifts. The gifts she sees and describes are no mere list of things to be grateful for. I am convinced that because she has asked to have her eyes opened, she is seeing things she would not have seen otherwise.

• Watching high school baseball on a breezy Texas night. Not much better than this! (Watching my son's team this spring--before things started to change--that was extra special. To see a team come together and play like they played . . . And they were all good boys, too.)
• Bible Study Guide for All Ages. My kids and I have learned so much with this program. It is not really CM (Charlotte Mason--meaning, it doesn't use her methods of learning, which would be reading and then narrating), but we have learned a lot.
