Ready Answer Card: Through the Bible in a Year, Part 2
Finish the whole Bible in a year, whenever you started. This Ready Answer card puts the Scriptures in your hand for Days 182 through 365, from Elijah's day to the last chapter of Revelation.
Peter told Christians to always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15). The second half of the plan carries the story through the prophets, the exile, and the return to Jerusalem, then on to the life of Christ and the church He built. Reading it in order shows how the promises made to Israel come to rest in Jesus. It's a 5 × 8 card, printed front and back, with a numbered reading for Days 182 through 365. Card 13 covers Days 1 through 181.
Each day lists chapters only. No verse is printed out, so the card works with whatever translation you read. Check off the box as you go, and keep the card in your Bible as a bookmark.
