Good Book Reading Plans

Today I ran into a friend at the bank, and she was reading the Bible as she waited to see a teller. She was in the Super-Powerful Gospel, the Book of Romans. As we spoke she told me that she just finished reading both Old and New Testaments in 20 weeks. When I told her how impressed I was, she gave all the praise to God. My reading plan has me completing the Good Book in under 50 weeks every year. I have read the New Testament in just over a month, but I read the entire Bible at a pace that takes more than twice as long as my friend. Now granted, when I read the Bible, I am looking at commentaries, comparing verses, examining other portions of the Book, reflecting, praying, etc., but hearing my friend read the Bible in under five months was very inspiring and convicting. I am spending far too much time reading material that is not very profitable. After a little research online, I found some Bible reading plans which have you going through Genesis to Revelation in one or three months. Perhaps that sounds a little daunting, but it is definitely doable. I have wasted so much of my life on frivolous matters. We need to remember that it is an absolute miracle that we have an opportunity to read the Bible.
