A year-long plan only works if you can recover from a missed day. Keeping weekends free does that. Each weekday shows one chapter, in order from Matthew 1 to Revelation 22. On the first day of each book you also get a short introduction: who wrote it, who it was for, and what to watch for.

Every event also carries one question to think about. There are five that rotate, like "What did the first readers most need to hear here?", so a three-minute reading turns into a little study.
