2022. A new year stands before us. 2021 and 2020 before that have been challenging to put it mildly.

Or what if you’ve tried in the past, only to fall behind and give up? How can you do it successfully in 2022?
Have you thought about reading through the Bible, maybe know you should, but keep saying, “Maybe next year”? Here is a 15-day catch-up plan so you can make this year your year!
Why Read through the Bible in a Year? Before you know it the New Year will be here. I hope your New Year’s plans include reading through the Bible in a year in 2017. Reading, studying, meditating on and obeying God’s...
