Readings 1-7 from The Books of the Bible (TBoTB)
Welcome to the beginning days of Reading the Bible Without Additives in 100 Days. Here’s the first installment of a Reading Schedule that you can use. You may choose to create your own rhythm in reading the text of the Bible.
At the bottom of the page there is a Reading Guide for those that want to read at a different pace. The goal here is not how fast or how slow you read, but that you read. There is no behind or ahead, there is just your own personal reading rhythm. While Bible Study has its place, this is not a Bible Study; it is a Bible Reading Guide. Read and enjoy!
Reading List
The following list provides the reading and page numbers from The Books of The Bible™. Read them by the day, or read them all at one setting in the evening or on the weekend. Read them five days on and two days off. Read them 3 days on and 4 days off. Whatever you create, Read them! Remember, to set up reading that flows with your own rhythm of life. It doesn’t have to be difficult or hard to accomplish.
As you proceed, you will discover that the ordering of this reading list is a bit different from the ordering of the books in TBoTB. Their order is a good one. But, I have provided the order of the books both in the Old and New Testament that I follow in my book God’s EPIC Adventure.
Give it a go. You will notice that I have offered a “Thought to Contemplate” for each book. Don’t just settle for what I have written. After you have read the text, make a comment or two about what you are seeing as your read.
Genesis
- Reading 1: 7-22
- Reading 2: 22-40
- Reading 3: 40-59
- Reading 4: 59-71
Thought To Contemplate
Knowing God the creator will make a definite difference in our lives. Created in his image, our destiny is to live out that image in the midst of life’s circumstances. Living in a fallen world, i.e., this Present Evil Age, we become the light through which others find their genesis or beginning with God.
Exodus
- Reading 5: 77-91
- Reading 6: 96-112
- Reading 7: 112-122
Thought To Contemplate
The concepts used by God to operate with Israel have not changed. We still come to him because of what he did for us, not what we can do for him. God still cares about relating to his children today. He is still the Lord of history, your history. He still believes in righteous living. Echos of the Exodus are found in God’s supreme demonstration of his love for us that came in the person Jesus who delivers us from bondage to redemption. The Lord-Servant Treaty in Exodus and the Old Testament and the Kingdom of God in the New Testament are the same thing, named differently.
Reading Guide
You can read using the following guide and take your readings a bit slower. To read at a 100 day pace, read the page numbers in the 100 Day column. To read at a 200 day pace, read the page numbers in the 200 Day column. To read at a 300 day pace, read the page numbers in the 300 Day column. You create the days of the week you want to read.
On average, the 100 day column is about forty-five minutes to an hour. The 200 Day column is about thirty minutes. The 300 day column is about fifteen-twenty minutes. Remember, some folks read faster and some folks read slower and the times above are built on an average of about 250-300 words a minute. Of course, this is pure reading time, not reading and stop-to-think time or meditating time, not reading and discussion time, and not reading and sharing in the Comments section below. It is just reading time!
