Bible reading plan generator
Build a reading plan you will actually finish
Pick what to read, when you start and how fast you want to go. You get every day's reading with its date, ready to print and tick off.
Choose individual books
| Day | Date | Reading | Done |

Time is a rough guide at about four minutes a chapter; long chapters such as Psalm 119 take more. Uses the 66-book canon and standard chapter numbering. Nothing is saved: refreshing the page clears your plan, so print or copy it.
Choosing a pace you can keep
Most reading plans do not fail in Leviticus. They fail on an ordinary Thursday in week three, when one missed day turns into four and the gap feels too big to close. The best pace is the one that survives a bad week.
| Plan | Chapters each day | Rough daily time |
|---|---|---|
| Whole Bible in a year | 3 to 4 | about 13 minutes |
| Whole Bible in 6 months | 6 to 7 | about 26 minutes |
| Whole Bible in 90 days | 13 | about 53 minutes |
| New Testament in 90 days | 3 | about 12 minutes |
| New Testament in 30 days | 8 to 9 | about 35 minutes |
| Four Gospels in 30 days | 3 | about 12 minutes |
Three ways to make the plan stick
- Build in a spare day. Untick Sunday or Saturday above. A plan with a catch-up day absorbs a missed morning; a seven-day plan has nowhere to put it.
- Tie it to something you already do. Same chair, same coffee, before the phone comes out. A fixed slot beats a good intention.
- If you fall behind, do not double up. Pick up at today's date, or rebuild the plan from where you are. Finishing three weeks late still counts as finishing.
Never read the Bible before?
Starting at Genesis 1 and reading straight through is harder than it sounds. The first-timer route above begins with Mark, the shortest Gospel, then Genesis, Psalms and Proverbs, before John, Acts, Romans and James: 317 chapters that give you the shape of the whole story without the long legal and genealogical stretches.
