I’ll be honest: I’ve tried to read the Bible through in a year, and I can’t do it. Each attempt leaves me feeling discouraged and overwhelmed. The structure, rather than helping me, I find becomes a hurdle. I’ve realized it’s not the right fit for me, and that’s okay.
I grow Spiritually (for lack of a better phrase) by wrestling with individual verses, dissecting their meanings, and pondering their relevance in my life.
Sometimes, I’ll even do a deep-dive study into a specific book for several months, going verse by verse.
Quality over quantity and relationship over immediate knowledge is what we should pursue. What’s important is finding a method that works best for you.
The only key is- A daily habit.
I went through the Bible in a Year study once. It’s nice but like you said, kind of superficial. I prefer to do deep dives on my own, especially Isaiah. But I’m reading the Bible in a Year to the kids, because it’s a nice slab of reading. What I really want is a chronological Bible, so we can read Kings and slot all the major and minor prophets into their proper places.
