Reading the Bible in a Year

Laura (not that) Bush at Words Behind Me has a good post on the "Read a Bible in a Year" plans that can be found on the internet.For the past 3 years I have been using the plans available at Discipleship Journal. This year however, I'm going with the MCheyne plan. Part of the reason is that it fits in with my current private worhip practices, which involve using the 1928 edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.

The M'Cheyne plan involves 4 separate readings, 2 chapters from the Old Testament and 2 from the New Testament. I plan to follow Laura's practice of doing 1 chapter from each Testament in the morning, and the second in the evening. Because of my 48 year old eyesight, I'm using the printed plans here.

This year will be the first time I've read through the entire Bible using the ESV version. Last year I started with the NASB and switched to the ESV. My thinking right now is to follow the practice I have heard that others use: reading through the Bible once per year using a different version each year.
