2012 Reading Plans

I'm working on choosing (or tweaking) a Bible reading plan for my family for 2012 so the kids can each work through some of their ESV Student Study Bibles, and so we can enjoy daily family discussions on what we are all reading at the same time. Thought it might be nice to list a couple of resources I'm looking at for the Bible as well as other good theological and devotional resources. 

Justin Taylor has a wonderful (fairly comprephensive) post on many reading plans out there, including options you may not think of on your own. He also has a post that includes a reading plan for Calvin's Institutes.

Joe Thorn's reading plan for the Puritan prayers found in Valley of Vision might be a great way to start the year devotionally.

The ESV has a number of plans available, and the ESV Journaling Bible I now use daily has a plan in the back I'm considering. 

David Murray, who has quickly become one of my favorite thinkers through his blog and Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary podcast, has a yearly children's morning and evening Bible reading plan. The explanation is here, and the plan is here.

Please feel free to share other plans you recommend or the plan you are using next year.

I feel compelled to link to my round-up on the Ligonier blog. :)

I agree. I love reading David Murray. Great insights and reflections.

Tim Challies has a facebook group for doing the Grant Horner's reading plan http://bit.ly/swutNs. It is an ambitious plan that has 10 chapters per day. I've been doing this plan a little longer than a year. It has really helped me to see the connections throughout Scripture.

The facebook page is The 3650 Challeng. The 3650 refers to the number of chapters you will read for the year if you stick with the plan the entire year.

Thanks Nathan and Jean! Glad to have the links here to two resources I use and love.

Terry, I think I've heard of that. Very cool. Thanks for the link.

Do you have an overall reading plan to share for the year?
Bible, current issues, theology, classics etc.

No. I'm not much into a general reading plan for myself. I'm too impulsive. I tend to learn best through following those impulses.

Our whole family is doing the reading play from David Murray, however. I printed one copy (like 105 pages or so) and I'm putting it up weekly on our fridge. Each of us has our own journal by which we are following the plan and doing the questions and writing of verses. We initial the original copy on the fridge to show we've done it. Last night I instructed our kids on how to pray following the things they read. I'm excited about this particular plan.
