Bible-reading Plans
Bible reading plans provide a suggested Bible reading for each day, or each week, or a way of reading through the Bible in a year or whatever. Essentially, they are a list of readings, although they might provide notes etc as well.

Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience
Immerse is a new way of reading the Bible.
The chapter numbers, verse numbers, footnotes, section headings and cross-references have been removed to produce a single-column book that looks more like a novel.
The books of the Bible have been re-ordered so that related books are together.
The Bible has been broken into six volumes, with an 8-week reading plan for each volume.
Discussion is encouraged in a book club style rather than a Bible study style.
It has been highly effective for many people.
Check out the website (which includes testimonies) and various resources e.g. the YouTube channel.
