Reading through the Bible can be a tremendous asset to oneĀ’s spiritual walk, but it can also be a difficult and confusing task without some guidance. Richard M. Gagnon provides a helping hand with
Footsteps Through The Bible, a one-year chronological reading plan and study reference born out of his own desire to better understand the Scriptures.
Footsteps is easy to use on a daily basis, and it helps the reader move through the Bible in a systematic, chronological way. Not to be confused with a chronological Bible, this chronological reading guide allows the reader to use his or her own familiar Bible to complete the reading assignments.
• Photos, charts and, timelines throughout help enhance comprehension.
• Each day's readings contain easy-to-understand outline notes for that day.
• The readings Monday to Friday are from the Old Testament and average 86 verses per day. The weekend readings are from the New Testament and average 77 verses per day.
• Daily and weekly readings are logically grouped listing all Scripture pertinent to the theme, topic or historical sequence of events.
• A check box system helps the reader measure progress through the program.
• Old Testament laws and regulations are harmonized by subject matter and logically grouped with the historical events they complement.
• The parallel books of Kings and Chronicles are synchronized into one reading, as are the Gospels in the New Testament.
• The epistles (letters) of the apostles are linked with the timelines of the book of Acts.
