Reading the Bible in 2009

51ya8yyy5xl_ss500_Looking to read through the Bible in 2009?  Here’s a few good places to start.  The image to the Left is a picture of the Mac Arthur Daily Bible that I have used for the past several years to keep me on track.  It contains selections from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs each day.  It also contains a brief devotional and explanatory comments about the scripture passages you are reading.

Of course there are other plans to read through the bible, but rather than repeating a bunch of information I have listed a link to some great resources on reading the Bible through in a year.

ewordtoday.com – I recommend the ESV Chronological or Historical track

doxologypress.org – this is a great place to hear the audio bible and keep track of your reading/listening. (though you need to sign up for an account) It’s also a great place to hear great works of literature like John Owen‘s Mortification of Sin (though I admit it’s not for the faint of heart).

ApParent Privilege

I just read Apparent Privilege by Steve Wright and Chris Graves.  I recommend this book to parents with children of all ages, but especially parents of teens.    The book is written with a relevant straight forward style and if full of practical application parenting teens.

Apparent Privilege is also a great read for student pastors reminding them of their call to come along side parents.  The book is full of scriptural insight, recent statistical information, and compelling stories that are sure to be useful in any ministry to parents.
