Some contrarian counsel: if you have anxiety, or a tendency toward perfectionism or scrupulosity, pressuring yourself to follow a “Bible in a year” reading plan is probably not wise. Read what you can, reflect on it, and spend time in prayer. You aren’t going to improve your justification before God by your performance of good works. This is especially relevant for those who grew up in theologically hazy, fear-of-man oriented, and performance-based Fundamentalism.

I enjoy your writing style and thinking. I was looking for some detail on Hunt's book, Confessions of a Heretic by Dave Hunt: a Book Review. Thank you for that. That interest came from a comment someone made in their YouTube video. I too did contact the Berean Call but received no reply. All this to say I was tracking down Plymouth Brethren history around Darby, Scofield, Zionism and the ensuing mess. I'll truncate this at this point.
I appreciate your post and wisdom here about reading plans. I'm going to put in a word about hearing the Word. I've been listening to scripture for many years now and I've heard so much I've missed. It has changed my understandings significantly. The Word is living and powerful. Hallelu Yah!
