One of the most helpful (and I think, least used) ways to read Scripture is to block out time and read entire books in single sittings. Especially for the New Testament letters, which were most likely written to be read aloud to the church in one meeting, it lets you get a sense for the whole message the Holy Spirit’s conveying in the book that’s much harder to get when you break things up into small pieces. The graph below shows approximately how long it takes to read each book. I’ve never attempted the longer books on the graph, but hey, what if you found yourself with four hours free one day…what better way to use it than to ingest all of Jeremiah or Genesis, or Matthew and Revelation? Enjoy…
