“The Bible-reading schedule (Read the Bible in 2025) is the most freeing way to read through the Bible. I’ve used a few other schedules in the past, but this one by far is the best one that will help you stick with reading your Bible throughout the year. By grouping the chapters together weekly instead of daily, the reader not only feels less pressure to complete the assigned reading, but it allows him/her to freely read ahead or catch up if needed that week. I highly recommend Read the Bible in 2026. You will literally ‘know the truth, and the truth will set you free’ (John 8:32).”
Missionary & home-schooling mother of 9 kids, ages 1-18 - Ruth Ann P. (Guatemala)
“This will be my first year reading through the Bible, and I am really enjoying it. I love learning more about God's word, and (unless the rapture happens first) I will read it again next year, using this schedule.”
11 year-old homeschooler and one of 7 kids - Silas B. (TX)
“When Ray sent me his Read the Bible schedule in 2020, I found it very flexible and doable compared to any other reading schedule I had ever tried. Having weekly passages instead of daily passages allowed me, a mom of 6, the flexibility to read what I wanted, when I wanted to, each week . 2020 was my first year to read through the Bible in a year, and then I did it again in 2021, and in 2022 as well. I've fallen in love with reading the Word so much, that I want others to love it as well, so I started an international online accountability group using this schedule. It has blessed not only me, but many worldwide. On a more personal level, it's also been an encouragement to my kids and husband as they see me reading my Bible, because I want to - not because I have to. Give it a try. You will be blessed!”
Wife, mother of 7 - Kaitie B. (TX)
“I’m really excited to get Ray’s reading schedule spread even further. I’m on my seventh year thru on [Ray’s] schedule and it’s such a blessing. I print out the schedules and give them to my whole church every year and we put the week’s reading section in our bulletin.”
Pastor-teacher and publisher - Dane R. (WA)
“After reading about Steve’s wish to have people read through the Bible, I challenged my husband who has never read through the Bible to join me. We first tried reading it out loud to each other but with all the hard words, we decided to use a Bible App and let someone else do the reading as we follow along on our TV. It has been a great blessing to hear the Word of God together!”
Retired office worker/retired electrical contractor - Rhonda & Varley L. (CA)
"Our Sunday school class went through the Bible twice: verse by verse usually a chapter at a time. it was great to discuss it with the class getting different perspectives."
Financial advisor for 40 years - Greg H. (TX)
"Being the spiritual leader of my household (wife + 7 kids) is the greatest gift, challenge, and joy of my life. Additionally, spending 60+ hours away from my home per week for my non-traditional work schedule, means that the time at home is critically important to be spent wisely. Through the weekly bible reading schedule, I am able to prioritize the most important things first, my relationship with the Lord, spending time in the Word, and leading my family biblically. 2025 will be my 5th year reading through the bible, with more to come!"
Husband & father of 7, Warehouse/Distribution Center Operations Manager - Mike B. (TX)
“Blessed wife and mom of two littles, full-time career in healthcare outside of the home. My inspiration to continue with this reading plan (3 years now completed) is my sweet dad, who now stands in the perfect presence of my Lord and Savior. Reading the Bible is now become part of who I am and I plan on passing that onto my kids. Thanks Ray!”
Medical technician & mother with 2 small kids - Jenny L. (SD)
“A little worn, a little tattered, But daily focus is what mattered. It was hard to stop at each day's goal, So I ended up filling my soul. This year is completed, so much to discern, 2026 awaits for new lessons to learn.”
Retired RN, grandmother of 14 - Barbara W (TX)
"My Life, has been ever so Blessed, Purposing to purposely with, a famished hunger and longing thirst, to read the Bible daily, through this year. A building up of my walk in Messiah, in Spirit and Truth."
Great grandmother - Dolor C. L. G. (NM)
“I have never read the entire Bible from start to finish until this year. Reading it through has given me a big picture view of the Bible. It has also left me with the desire to dive deeper into each book. More importantly, it has given me the opportunity to focus on God’s word each day which has impacted so much of my life for the better.”
Dentist & father of 5 kids - Dr Ben S. (NM)
“God has created truth in every realm. That is His glory. Our glory is to seek out that truth in all our endeavors of life, appreciate what we find and humble ourselves before God, obeying Him wherever that leads us. Ray's plan for reading through the Bible annually provides me with a disciplined fulfilling method for seeking to live my life better accordingly. I plan to do it again next year for the third consecutive year. Proverbs 1:7, 9:10”
Retired business man involved in various ministries - Jim M. (NM)
“Reading through the Bible in a year has cemented in my mind how simple God’s commands and promises are. Over and over God’s people were told to obey and blessing would follow – but don’t disobey or judgment will follow. And all of this happens over and over again. God always comes through as He promised. Just like he does for us. Reading the whole Bible through once a year has strengthened my faith.”
Widow who helped husband pastor church, founded CTS, & raised 4 kids - Sandy M. (VA)
“As I begin my 4th consecutive year of entire Bible reading at 70 yrs. young, this flexible weekly
schedule now gives me a broad view of His authoritative, inspired, and without error Word. Each succeeding year seems to build on the previous and has resulted in an increasing desire for further personal growth.”
