NewI've been doing this plan

I’ve been doing this plan this year. I like it a lot and have recommended it to several people. For those that use YouVersion, there is a plan there you can follow. Last year I did cover to cover reading but I prefer this. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go.

NewI agree

I’ve been using the M’Cheyne plan for forty years. I find it extremely helpful. At times, I have considered using a different plan for variety, but find myself unwilling to forego the wonderful benefits I have enjoyed, and continue to receive with M’Cheyne.

Wow that’s great. I’m really impressed with how well it familiarizes with me scripture. I think he has the OT/NT ratio right.

Many brethren at my church use this plan. Pastor Minnick has highly commended it to us over the years. I have used it profitably in the past.
