  • 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.
