Old Testament Highlights Schedule


A couple of readers of the New Testament for Lent were so excited about reading the Bible that they asked to continue reading, this time in the Old Testament. Here is a schedule for reading highlights of the Old Testament through the 40 days of Easter. I've selected what I think of as the most important Old Testament books representing one book from each of the four major categories of Old Testament books: Genesis for a book from the Pentateuch or Torah, 1 and 2 Samuel for a book from the history books, Psalms for a book from the poetic books, and Isaiah for a book from the books of prophecy. Be blessed in your reading of the Scripture!
