All 30 days, one by one
Four weeks: a whole gospel, the life of Jesus in John, two letters that explain the why, and a close in prayer. Passages are given by book and chapter, so any translation works.
- Days 1–8
Mark, the whole gospel
Day 1: Mark 1–2. Day 2: Mark 3–4. Day 3: Mark 5–6. Day 4: Mark 7–8. Day 5: Mark 9–10. Day 6: Mark 11–12. Day 7: Mark 13–14. Day 8: Mark 15–16. It is the shortest gospel and the best one for restarting: it moves fast and it is almost all action.
- Days 9–15
John 1 through 7
One chapter per day, 1 to 7. After Mark, John changes the pace: long conversations and seven signs that build on each other. On a tight day, this is the stretch to read slowly rather than rush.
- Days 16–19
Romans 5 through 8
Day 16: Romans 5. Day 17: Romans 6. Day 18: Romans 7. Day 19: Romans 8. Four dense chapters that answer the why behind everything before them. Day 19 is the chapter many people mark and return to for years.
- Days 20–24
James, the practical letter
One chapter per day, 1 to 5. After Romans comes the counterweight: what faith looks like midweek, in how you speak, who you listen to, and what you do with what you have.
- Days 25–27
Three psalms to breathe
Day 25: Psalm 1. Day 26: Psalm 23. Day 27: Psalm 121. Three deliberately short readings, to slow down before the finish and give you room if you are carrying a missed day.
- Days 28–30
John 15 through 17
Day 28: John 15. Day 29: John 16. Day 30: John 17. The close is Jesus' last words with his friends and his final prayer. Ending here leaves the plan in a tone of prayer rather than a completed checklist.

FAQ
Questions before downloading
Does this plan work for beginners?
Yes. It starts with Mark, the shortest and most direct gospel, then moves toward letters and psalms. It assumes no prior knowledge.
Do I need the app to use it?
No. All 30 days are published below and you can follow them with any Bible. The app is there so you do not lose the thread: reminders, progress, and streak.
Can I do it in a group?
Yes. It works well for small groups and new believers: everyone reads the same passage each day and you discuss it weekly.
What if I miss a day?
Do not restart from zero. Continue where you were and, if you want to catch up, pair two short readings over the weekend.
How long does each day take?
Between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the day. The letter weeks are denser than the gospel weeks.
