Week 1 – Genesis 1-11 & Job 1-16

Bible Bites 4 You Posted on by

Welcome to the first week of reading through the Bible in Chronological order. I’m eagerly looking forward to this adventure, and hope we will be able to bless one another through sharing, as we progress through the history and Source of our faith.

Each day’s readings include links so you can read or listen to the passages online. You may choose from several translations within the Bible Gateway website. These are for anyone who feels overwhelmed at the thought of reading through the Bible in a year. There is no right or wrong way to read. Find what works for you.

The stronger approach is to read from a print Bible that you can underline and/or mark up freely if possible. The more you interact with the passages as you read, the more you will get out of them. A bookmark for week 1 is also available as a PDF file in a link below. It is helpful for keeping your place through the week as well as for taking notes – especially on things you might want to share with us or with your own study group.  Continue reading →

There are many Bibles and translations to choose from, so invest a little time at the beginning. If you use the same Bible all year, you and your Bible will become inseparable as you personalize it with your notes and highlights. Continue reading →
