Now that we are in the last month of the year, let me recommend what you may want to plan to do in 2025. I would recommend you read through the Bible in one year. Here are two resources from Pastor Jack Graham that will help you do that.

First, he is the author of the new book, The Jesus Book. He provides ten chapters that will help you read through the Bible. He begins by helping us understand that we can trust the Bible, and then provides a big picture of the Bible. He provides chapters on how reading the Bible can provide hope and reassurance. It can also help you discern God’s will for you.

Pastor Graham gives you guidance for how to read the Bible daily with a practical approach to Bible study. He quotes from an applications pyramid found in the Life Application Study Bible. As you study God’s Word, you will need to focus on the: people, place, plot, point, principles, present, parallels, person, and plan. He also reminds us of the Bereans, who are described in Acts 17 as people who searched the Scriptures daily. We need consistency in reading God’s Word.

A second resource comes from the podcast, The Bible in a Year with Jack Graham. It can be found at the official BibleinaYear.com podcast, which you can find with the Apple or Spotify podcast apps. In each episode, you will learn how to apply these biblical principles to your life. The audio provides you with a reading of the key passage, along with some dramatic material and orchestral music. That is followed by a profound commentary from Pastor Graham.

Reading the Bible through the year will be a rewarding experience for you. Of course, you don’t have to wait until January 1 to get started. You can start right now. Let’s get started.
