Bible Reading Plan

There are many different ways to read the Bible through and I'd like to share one of them with you because it is unique. You read 10 chapters of the Bible each day - one chapter from each list. The Bible is broken into 10 groups/lists. I'm copying the "plan" below, but it's a little hard to read. For a better idea see the link listed at the end.

The book "Radical" by David Platt challenges American Christians to rethink their values and what Jesus may be calling them to do. On his website he shares several ways we can grow in our faith, through Bible reading, prayer and service.

Hi friend! How happy I was to see a post when I checked your blog. You are now the third person this week that recommended Radical.

Be blessed dear one.

Hi Life Adapted...you see how slow I am...just now getting your comment. Yes, Radical is an incredible book. I highly recommend it.

I still think of you with joy as we use Jenna's afghan. Thank you for your prayers!
