Whole Bible Canonically in 40 Days – approximately 120 minutes of reading per day

Read the entire Bible from cover to cover. This is a time-based Bible reading plan that takes approximately two hours to read the passages aloud at an average reading speed across 40 days. Forty is the number of testing, so consider using this plan for a time of intense praying and fasting. Also, consider breaking up the reading throughout the day with prayer times between reading sessions.
