Many believe the Bible is a locked book. You must be super smart or have a degree in Theology to understand the cryptic message. I used to feel this way too. But this is not true. When we show up with an open heart, the Holy Spirit will give us the key to unlock what we may not understand. And I am excited to say that reading through the Bible will change your life, because it has changed mine.

If you have never daily spent time with the Lord, I invite you to read the blog series and listen to the podcast “How to Have a Quiet Time.” Here are some suggestions I have found helpful for this journey:
Prayer Journal, Be Intentional Planner, or Notebook
Use a spiral notebook to take notes of each chapter and a Prayer Journal to guide your prayer time. Or use the daily note sections in the Be Intentional Planner.
Free Apps
The free YouVersion or Blue Letter Bible apps make it easy to switch between versions and for reading commentaries. I have found the Enduring Word app to be incredibly helpful as well.
Accountability Partner
Invite friends to join you. Each day send a text or email sharing something you have learned. Or meet weekly for discussion.
I have chosen the key chapters and the order based on my research and personal study of the Bible. But feel free to add or subtract chapters or arrange in an order that you feel is most accurate. Simplifying this study to “key” chapters in no way negates the rest of the Bible. The Bible is God’s Word and should be examined as a whole.
If you don’t want to wait until next month to get the following reading series, I invite you to subscribe to the Parenting to Impress Blog or The Helping Hand Newsletter to receive the full Key of the Bible Reading Plan.
Yes…it may be hard to get started. It will be even more difficult to stay consistent. But. Your. Life. Will. Change. It will be worth every moment. I promise.
