I'm taking mental notes as I listen through it all.

On most days, you'll find that our chronological reading plan takes about 12 minutes to listen through.

And it's all free.

Sometimes more, sometimes less, but that's a solid average.

You don't even have to buy a chronological Bible.

The app automatically moves through each of the chapters assigned to that day.

In fact, we encourage you not to because it's probably laid out differently than the order of our plan.

It's usually around three chapters.

I love this plan we're doing, the chronological plan, because unlike the front-to-back plan or the plans that have you read a little of the Old Testament and a little of the New Testament each day, the chronological plan takes you through the story of Scripture as it happened.

After it plays through all of them for that day, I turn my phone on silent, once again resisting the urge to check my text messages, and I leave it in my kitchen.

That's when I go out to my balcony, which is my priority time spot.

I only take my Bible, my journal, and my pen.

Our Bibles aren't laid out in that order, so this plan will occasionally have you flipping back and forth a bit.

And my coffee.

If you want to get fancy with highlighters, you totally can, but you don't need anything other than the basics.

But again, you don't need to buy a chronological Bible to do this.

As I mentioned in episode one, I used the ESV translation, and I walked you through my reasons for choosing that particular translation.

The Bible app will tell you what we'll read each day.

Or if you prefer, you can use the printable plan from our website, thebiblerecap.com.

If you don't have any idea which translation you want to read, you can use the Bible app to compare and contrast readability.
