Is anybody here reading the Bible through this year ?
If so are you reading The KJV or another translation and are you using a daily Bible plan ?

I am reading The Holman Christian Standard Bible through,I'm supposed to be reading 4 chapters in the OT. and 4 in the NT everyday but most of the time I do more than this. I'm in Numbers already and in John too,plus I listen to the audio Bible back and to from work.

To answer the question, not since I was a teen. I have read the NT through several times. I'm more of a NT kind of guy.

Last yr I ordered a NLT. I planned to read the OT in that version. It's great, it reads more like a story. Well, a kid (19 yrs old) at work was a new "christian" and he didn't have a bible. So, I gave him the NLT. He wanted to pay for it. I said, "No, no. The word of God is not for sale."

Yes, I am reading through the Bible. Right now I'm in Psalms and almost finished with the NT. I'm using a parallel Bible with KJV as my foundation. The other two translations I am using this year are the NLT and Amplified. Would never use the NLT as my foundational reading. Some of the NLT is very clear and awesome in some of it's translation, but other times it takes great liberties, which I don't like at all.

I have read the Bible through many times, and read whole books at a time. I find this is more helpful than reading several chapters of different books throughout the year. I tried doing the Bible reading plan, but found that if one day I fell behind, it would get discouraging. I then tried just reading books at a time, and that was wonderful. It was amazing the insight received when reading whole books at a time. Some days I read more, some less, and I don't feel so overwhelmed if one day I don't have time to read as much. I usually read at least one book in the OT and one in the NT.

Yes, we have been reading the Bible straight through for many years... mostly KJV.

For the past few years we have read the NKJV; NLT, NIV, ESV & used the plans from www.blueletterbible.org: One-Year Plans... Canonical, Chronological, Historical, Old Testament and New Testament Together.

This year we are reading the NASB Bible - Blended plan. We also use the Audio Bibles!

I read Tyndale's "The One Year Bible" (KJV) every year for many years now. Each day has a reading in the OT, one in the NT, Psalms and Proverbs.
