Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)
Many Christians take the beginning of a new year to evaluate their Bible reading habits, and then change or begin a Bible reading plan.
For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of Bible reading plans for you to choose from. Maybe in 2014 you will read more of the Bible each day. Perhaps you’ll slow down your reading and instead spend more time considering what you read. Whatever it is you’re looking for in a reading plan, you should find it below.

If you drive a lot, just listen to the Bible. That’s what I did. I didn’t worry about how long it took.
I got a Duck Dynasty devotional book for Christmas and my son-in-law bought it before all the controversy. Looking forward to starting it January 1. It’s a year-long book.
Lots of choices there. One recommendation might be Through The Bible radio network with Dr. J Vernon McGee: http://www.ttb.org/
Bible reading, alternating Old and New Testaments, with colorful commentary by Dr McGee. Available on radio stations or through recorded media.
cut ‘n paste. I cannot take credit for creating the html. :)
God bless, I hope one system works for you.
I have used several; ten chapters a day when I was younger. A couple years ago I completed a two year course in reading the Nelson “Chronological” Bible.
Now I am using a commentary by DA Carson that details all Old Testament allusions, quotes, and echoes that are used in the New Testament. Since this involves detailed reading of Scripture and commentary, I am taking two years to do so.
Praying and hoping the Spirit works through the Scripture to make me live a more godly life in this dark world.
