Yes, it's that time of the year already. Time to reveal our Bible-reading plans for the new year.
This year, I've read through the Scriptures using Robert Murray M'Cheyne's famous Bible-reading schedule, and have enjoyed it very much. Next year, however, I've decided to do something different. Next year, I'll read through the Bible at a rate of 6 chapters per day - 3 from the OT and 3 from the NT. It'll be interesting to see how many times I read the NT while I'm reading the OT.
I have also decided on my accompanying devotional reading. I will finish reading through Day by Day by Vance Havner (Westwood, NJ: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1953), which I started on September 1 of this year. To that, I will add the writings of two 19th-century evangelical Anglicans who were contemporaries: J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) and H. P. Liddon (1829-1890). I have 7 of Ryle's books (as republished by Banner of Truth) and I have 9 volumes of Liddon's sermons (which should be republished, but haven't) at the ready. So: 1 chapter from Ryle, and 1 sermon by Liddon per day.
