ALL ABOARD!!! Welcome to all new OYB readers for the 2015 tour! Heres some advice from those of us who have been on this journey before: 1) It takes 6 weeks to create a habit, so try to carve out a certain time and quiet place every day to read. It will be hard at first, but after about 6 weeks, it becomes part of your life. 2) When is the best time? Answer: Whenever youre at your best. Most prefer the morning, but some night owls prefer reading before bed. 3) If you miss a day, dont try to make it up. Stay on the appropriate day for your daily reading. Those who get behind often lose heart and quit. Just keep reading. Youll get to that missed day next year. 4) Include prayer in your reading time. Pray: God, speak to me through Your Word today. 5) Make regular posts on the WCC OYB Group site on fb. It will encourage the rest of us. For those that are new to the One Year Bible reading approach, you may not realize that there are several reading plans out there. You can purchase hard copies of the One Year Bible in several translations. These OYB systems usually give you a balanced reading diet of a section from the OT, the Psalms, Proverbs, and the NT. You can also purchase the Chronological OYB, which takes you through daily readings that are organized according to the time in history when they took place. For instance, the book of Job would come during the time of the patriarchs found in Genesis. But the Chronological OYB is a little more difficult. Probably not the best for those who have never read through the Bible before. Most people need the variety of a daily dose of OT, Psalms, Proverbs and NT. When you follow the Chrono version there will be days where you live in the prophetic books of the OT. Some lose heart there. However, having said this, some believe that the Chrono version gives you a better immersion experience and a better sense of the order of things. oneyearbibleonline
