Because of the length of the Bible, one of the challenges is the dichotomy of working through the whole thing while also making sure that you're regularly engaging with certain parts. Like, obviously you're going to want to read the gospels frequently, and then also the epistles as well, but if you were to just read from cover to cover, starting in Genesis, if you read a couple of chapters a day, it's going to be nearly a year before you even get to the New Testament. So, the challenge is to systematically read through the whole book and, at the same time, be dipping into different parts.
So I came up with a solution....I divide the Bible into 4 sections: history books, the prophets (+ psalms and proverbs), the gospels and acts, and then the epistles and the rest of the New Testament. I read a chapter from section 1, then a chapter from section 2, then section 3, then section 4, then back to section 1, the next chapter of, etc.
