    I have always started at Genesis but I am a bit different as I am a Messianic Jew. A Long time ago I divided the chapters in the Bible by 365 and i read that many chapters each day. Of course when there are really short chapters I will take more than a day’s number of chapters and usually end up in November or December with the Bible finished so I will start over and divide the books by the number of days left and read that many books until the end of December.
    Like I said I a bit different and the second reason for that was I had my Zeide who had been a Rabbinic student until he met my Bubbe, (who was not Jewish and he refused to force her to become Jewish), and could not graduate and he took his textbooks for 18 months and taught me from them. At the 9th month my Bubbie died and after 18 month his health started to go down. After 12 months without the Love of his life he died and and went to be with her and their Messiah.

    1. Yes! I love that method. I can’t wait to share just such a reading plan…..next week!

    I think the very best place to start is John, the book right after Luke, reason being is because it is the starting point on being saved and a reborn Christian. My husband and I are actually reading through John, he finally decided to give his whole life to God and asked to be saved 2 weeks ago!

    1. Congratulations!!! Praise the Lord for another soul in the kingdom. Yes! John is the best place for new believers to start.

  3. Loved this! It is very helpful as sometimes I get overwhelmed with trying to figure out where to start first. This is very similar to what my pastor preached on a few weeks ago. Thank you!

    1. You’re welcome!! Yes – it can be overwhelming…there are so many books to choose from.

  4. This is great to pass onto new Christians as well as everyone! I do think Romans is another really good book since it shows we cannot save ourselves through works. I look forward to looking more thoroughly through your website. God Bless You!

    1. Yes – I love Romans. It’s one of my favorite New Testament books.

  5. I trie to follow you,in the name of Jesus,help me please
    I can’t attend in our Bible study in our church..

    I really needed this post. This was the first thing I clicked on and it hit right to my core. Simple, and straight forward. I have two very active, strong-willed boys whom I homeschool and I just get bogged down with momin’ at times. Now I want to explore the rest of your blog for more nuggets of wisdom and practical practices. Thanks for being you and pursuing the desire of your heart to love and encourage people like me. Muah!
    PS I’m also a PNW native!
