Get a Bible if you don't already have one. You can also read an online version of the Bible for free with your computer or Internet-capable handheld device. One benefit to reading the Bible online is that there are many translations available, which you can use to quickly compare to see what style you prefer. You can also sign up for a free service in which Bible chapters are sent to you by email every day according to your preferences, such as by topic, chronologically or start to finish.
Decide whether you want to read the Bible from start to finish, in the chronological order in which events occurred, or a passage from the Old Testament and New Testament each day. There are 1,189 chapters and 31,102 verses, so you can finish the Bible in a year by reading fewer than four chapters per day. You can get special editions of the Bible that are specifically designed to be read in one year, or you can follow a schedule while reading a regular copy in book form or on the Internet.
Set aside a specific time each day to read the Bible. You might find that the best time for you is in the morning, before the distractions of the day take over. You might prefer to do your reading while commuting on public transportation or during your lunch break. Stick with a schedule that you can do consistently.
