Want the 90 days laid out for you?
This page is from the team behind FORGED: Daily Bible for Men, an iPhone app built around a 90-day plan. A list tells you what to read. According to its App Store listing, FORGED also gives you each day:
- One Scripture passage explained in plain English, about ten minutes in all
- A practical challenge at a level you choose, with mobility and service alternatives
- A 3, 5 or 10-minute prayer timer that dims the screen
- Progress that missed days never erase
FORGED quotes the World English Bible. It is a devotional routine, not medical or fitness advice. Ticks on this page do not sync to the app.
How much reading is it, really?
| Plan | Chapters | Per day over 90 days |
|---|---|---|
| Whole New Testament | 260 | 2 to 3 |
| Gospels and Acts | 117 | 1 to 2 |
| Psalms and Proverbs | 181 | 2 to 3 |
| Paul's letters | 87 | about 1 |
| Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, James | 48 | best as a 30-day plan |
A rest day each week takes about 13 days out of a 90-day window, so the daily amount goes up a little. The generator shows the exact figure for the options you choose.
Four things that decide whether you finish
Tie it to something you already do. After the first coffee, on the train, before the phone goes on the charger. A fixed cue does more than a fixed time on the clock.
Choose the smaller plan. One chapter a day that you read beats three that you skip. If you have never read the Bible through, start with the Gospels and Acts.
Keep a rest day. It is not a loophole. It is the day you use to pick up a reading you missed, so one bad day does not become a bad week.
Do not catch up by doubling. If you fall more than a few days behind, read today's passage and carry on. Finishing a little short is better than stopping at day 20.
Questions
How many chapters a day to read the New Testament in 90 days?
The New Testament has 260 chapters, so 90 days of reading works out to just under three chapters a day. Most days are three chapters and some are two. With one rest day a week, a 90-day window leaves about 77 reading days, which is three to four chapters a day.
How long does three chapters take?
For most adults, roughly ten to fifteen minutes. Chapters vary a great deal: Luke 1 has 80 verses and Psalm 117 has two, so some days will run longer than others.
What should I read first if I have never read the Bible?
Start with the Gospels and Acts. The four Gospels tell the life of Jesus and Acts tells what his followers did next. Together they are 117 chapters, which is one or two chapters a day over 90 days.
What if I miss a day?
Read today's passage and keep going. Do not try to catch up by doubling for a week. A plan with a weekly rest day gives you a built-in day to recover a missed reading.
Is my plan saved?
