Dave Miller's 2025 Bible Reading Challenge

   Reading the Bible in 2025 Each day this year, we will read a selection from the Old Testament, the New Testament, a portion of the Psalms, and a part of Proverbs. By the end of the year, you will have read the entire Bible. We read this way to give you a bit of variety.  NOTE: If you get behind, do not give up.
