Daily Bread · A Messianic One-Year Bible Reading Plan
The only one-year Bible reading plan of its kind: the whole Bible in a year, read the way Israel reads it.
A Balanced Diet
“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”
Daily Bread takes you through the entire Bible in one year, a little from every part of Scripture each day, so nothing is left out and nothing is left for later.
Four readings a day
The Bible has come to us from the Jewish people. Daily Bread follows the Jewish division of the Scriptures, the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings (Luke 24:44), and adds the Apostles. Every day except Sabbaths and holidays you read a portion from each.
The weekly Torah portion
Each Sabbath the same Torah portion, the Parashah, is read in every synagogue in the world. The Apostles encouraged disciples who were not Jewish to follow these readings (Acts 15:21). Daily Bread reads them with you, and fills in the rest of the Bible around them.
Sunday to FridayOne of the portion’s seven aliyot each day.
SabbathThe seventh aliyah, the Haftarah from the Prophets (Luke 4:16) and a Messianic reading from the Apostles. Holidays have their own readings.
The biblical calendar
The year follows the Hebrew calendar, with its Sabbaths, Feasts and new moons, and remembers what happened in the Bible and in the history of Israel on the day you are reading.
A daily discipline
Read the day’s portions early in the morning. If time does not allow, read two in the morning and two in the evening. Fall behind, and you can catch up on the Sabbath, but a disciplined daily reading is best.
Here you can mark each reading as read, Torah, Prophets, Writings and Apostles. Your progress shows what you have read, section by section, and exactly what is left to catch up, or you can pick up again from today.

GiveThe printed journal
Studies comparing paper and screens find that we understand longer texts better in print. Putting what we read into our own words by hand engages the mind more deeply than typing, and helps us remember.
A page for every dayGregorian and Hebrew dates, the day’s readings, the calendar and what happened on that day, with lines to record what speaks to you, prayer requests and answers to prayer.
