The Bible Through the Seasons

A Three-Year Journey with the Bible

by Nicholas J. Connolly
Pastor of First and Grace United Methodist Churches
Kearny, New Jersey

A Unique Approach...
  • One daily passage sensitive to the sacred season
  • A one-minute "Firestarter" sets the mood.
  • Begin anytime; finish in three years at a relaxed pace.
  • Pray the same passage with a growing number of people.
  • Each day of the week is devoted to a part of the Bible.
  • Seven-syllable "Bible Breaths" keep the reading alive.
  • Each day of the week is devoted to a part of the Bible.
  • Links with the Jewish cycle of Sabbath Torah readings
  • Blends "Three Streams": Liturgical, Evangelical & Pentecostal
  • "Alphabytes"—object meditations— begin each week.

    Click "Firestarter" to follow the plan with postings each day in the blog, including "Bible Breaths" and a new version for children and families added week by week.
