180 readings · ~30 min each

Available for iPhone · Lummi is paid. New subscribers get the monthly plan free for 7 days and can cancel anytime.

Overview

Read all 1,189 chapters of the 66-book Protestant Bible in 180 daily readings, from Genesis to Revelation. Allow about 30 minutes for six or seven chapters each day; actual time varies with your pace and translation. Download the free printable PDF without creating an account. It contains the reading references and checkboxes, not the Bible text. Use your own Bible, start on any date, and continue with the next unread passage if you miss a day. For a lighter whole-Bible schedule, compare the one-year plan at about 15 minutes per day. For a narrower scope, the New Testament in 90 days takes about 10 minutes daily. The Lummi app is an optional paid way to track your reading.

Reading Tips

1Split the reading in two if 30 minutes at once is hard: three chapters in the morning, the rest at night.
2Read for the story, not for study. Keep moving and mark passages to come back to later.
3The long stretches of law and genealogy pass quickly at this pace. Read them for what they reveal about the people and the promise.
4Try an audio Bible for part of the daily reading on busy days. Listening counts.
5If you fall behind, keep the daily reading the same size and let the finish date move instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many chapters a day is the Bible in 6 months?

Six or seven chapters a day, about 30 minutes of reading. That covers all 1,189 chapters in 180 days.

Is 6 months too fast to read the Bible?

Not if your goal is to see the whole story. It leaves less time for detailed study. Choose a slower plan if you want more time to reflect on each passage.

What order does the plan follow?

Traditional book order, Genesis through Revelation. The Old Testament takes about the first four and a half months and the New Testament the rest.

What if I miss a few days?

Pick up where you stopped. Lummi saves your place and there is no penalty for a slower finish. Reading the Bible in seven or eight months still counts.

Is there a printable PDF of this plan?

Yes. The PDF lists all 180 readings grouped by week with a checkbox for each day, and it is free to download from this page.
