| This is a guide to help you read the Bible from beginning to end, as one continuous story.
The scripture texts are condensed
because the Bible is a huge book
and a formidable read for most of us.
Using a daily reading plan
allows you to take a small amount of Scripture
into your heart and mind,
and then carry it with you in your thoughts
throughout the day.

Whether you read the Bible
every day,
once a week,
or whenever you are able or think about it,
you can use this guide.
I recommend that you start at the beginning
with Genesis and Day 1
and read as long as time allows or until you are full.
Then next time you read just pick up where you left off.
All Scriptures on this site are condensed from the New King James Version of the Bible which was published by Thomas Nelson Inc. in 1982.
The Bible Condensed. From Genesis to Revelation (Old Testament and New Testament) in 365 daily readings plus commentary. This Bible reading plan will help you read the Bible from beginning end, as one continuous story.
What! Play It Again - Matt, Mark & Luke
The Gospels tell the story of Jesus' life and teachings. Matthew, Mark and Luke are called Synoptic Gospels. All three record basically the same story, yet each in their own unique way.
I call this series, Play It Again, because that's what we do when we study the Bible. We read and re-read. We talk; we listen. We pray and we meditate. We play it again many times in an effort to hear it right and apply it well.
This is an attempt to take the three Gospels, weave them together, and tell their story as one. It is a work in process.
You might like to use these studies for personal devotions, or in a Sunday School class or other small group.
