I’ve found a Bible reading plan that appears to be exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve read through the Bible several times in the past five years, and for me, I feel the need to slow down and focus deeper into the New Testament. For me, this plan will give more time for personal reflection and leaves room for other Bible studies as well through the year. For most teens, this Bible reading plan is ideal for a different reason as it may be the first time to accept a serious Bible reading challenge.

The Navigators have created a “5x5x5 New Testament Bible Reading Plan.” The reading calls for one chapter a day for five days a week. So the first 5 stands for 5 minutes a day and the second 5 stands for 5 days a week. The third 5 stands for their 5 suggestions for ways to dig deeper into the readings. These are all listed on the downloadable PDF file. Print it on both sides of a single sheet of paper and fold it so it will fit nicely into your Bible.

I’m delighted to find this study. It is spaced out evenly over the year, and it appears to be arranged according to the times the books were written instead of the order the books come in the Bible. It is exactly what I was hoping to find. An answer to my prayers about what I should read in 2022.
