Super Narrative Shred

5-Week Bible Reading Plan with Morning and Evening Readings

Yesterday, I posted the Narrative Shred, which is a ten-week reading plan through the narrative sections of the Bible. The Super Narrative Shred is the same plan, only instead of one reading a day there are two.

This plan is perfect for the commuter, as the morning and evening commute can be dedicated to a quick listening of a few chapters. This can allow you to get through a LOT of Bible in a short period of time. Pair this with some in depth Bible study at home and you’ve got a roadmap for building a serious biblical foundation.
