Want to read through the Bible but can't find a plan that fits your life? Bible Reading Plan Generator lets you build one from scratch — choose which books to read, how many days, which days of the week, and your preferred format, then print it out or export it.^1
Created by Dr. John Dyer, VP of Enrollment and Educational Technology at Dallas Theological Seminary, this free web tool offers a remarkable level of customization. Pick from traditional, chronological, or M'Cheyne reading orders. View your plan as a calendar, weekly schedule, list, book-by-book breakdown, or even a color-coded circle chart showing genre progression. Add a daily Psalm or Proverb, toggle OT/NT overlap for parallel reading, and generate plans in multiple languages including Spanish, Hindi, and Chinese.^2
What sets it apart is the instant, real-time preview — adjust any setting and see your plan update immediately. Whether you want to read John in 40 days, the New Testament with weekends off, or the entire Bible chronologically over three years, the generator handles it.^1
