Chronological Bible-Reading Plan

I'm starting on a new abridged Bible-reading plan for a better sense of story flow.

Instead of reading Genesis straight through Revelation, I'm following Mike Aquilina's idea of reading the chronological, historical-narrative books of the Bible before going through the other books. That way you're not distracted by diversions from the main story flow, which ultimately is the story of Jesus Christ.

Here are the 14 chronological books of Bible history:

1. Genesis
2. Exodus
3. Numbers
4. Joshua
5. Judges
6. 1 Samuel
7. 2 Samuel
8. 1 Kings
9. 2 Kings
10. Ezra
11. Nehemiah
12. 1 Maccabees
13. Luke
14. Acts

I will try to read them swiftly, yet not following a schedule. Reviewing the events of salvation history makes it easier to understand the "big picture," putting the other biblical books and everything else in its historic context.
