Has one of your New Year’s resolutions been to read through the Bible in a year? A number of Bible publishers have made it easy with One-Year Bible versions (first done by Tyndale House publishers—they even have a Two-Year Bible version!) set up with an Old Testament reading, Psalm, and New Testament reading each day. But if you want to customize your own reading plan (using the translation you prefer), check out this website for a yearly calendar that charts the books of the Bible by category: The Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, Gospels, and Epistles.
