Bible Reading



Have you ever considered using a Bible Plan to help you read the bible?

Bibleplan.org is a fantastic website that will setup one or two year Bible reading plans for you, and will actually email the passages that you need to read each day right to your inbox in the translation that you want. This is a great tool for anyone who struggles with the discipline of daily Bible reading, or who cannot find the time to read the Bible everyday at home, but could benefit from having it sent right to their computer at work!
