Join Al Lowry as he reads through the Bible in a year using this Daily Bible Reading Guide. Each daily reading is accompanied by a few words from Al to gently nudge you to do what he once thought was impossible—to read through the most important book ever written. FROM THE INTRODUCTION I began writing this journal 9 years ago when a friend told me of a “Guilt-Free” reading plan that went through the entire Bible. He explained that the principle was to just take time to read or listen to that day’s passage— and if you miss a few days, to skip ahead to the current day’s reading. He said people will read through more of the Bible this way than if they stop part way for lack of “keeping up.” Then they can read it again the next year and pick up the passages they missed the first time around. I responded I just might be the poster child for quitting, as I would start well many a January, only to fall hopelessly away when tedious books like Numbers, Leviticus or Deuteronomy would sideline me in the first quarter. Then he challenged me in a very big way. He had one of the first online ministries called, “The Ranch,” at theranch.org. I read about it in USA Today and through a set of rather unusual circumstances, we became connected as good friends. He suggested I invite readers to follow along with me, and that 1st day of the year, I introduced a Facebook page with that very purpose. He gave me an invitation to include my plan in one of his online sermons and put out an open invitation to whoever might be inclined to join me. About 450 people signed up, and that set me on course with a lot of accountability partners with whom I would share a devotional each day. At the end of that year, I could not believe I’d finally accomplished this challenge of reading Genesis through Revelation. So what next—just be done with it? I decided to do it again the next year, and the next, and the next… I believe God has a sense of humor and turned me into the Forrest Gump of Bible reading. (Remember how he kept running back-and-forth across the country?) I mentioned we started with about 450 in our Facebook group the first year and now there are over 1500. This year, I decided to put the devotionals in book form so readers would have the option to join me online or by paperback. Regardless of your own motivation to read the Bible, I sure would be privileged to walk by your side. The goal is still the same as when we started—to grow in our faith by reading through as much of the Bible as we can. Hopefully, my light commentaries can give you that gentle nudge that helps you also do what I felt was impossible—to read the Bible in its entirety.
