The number one response of Bible Gateway users responding to an online survey is that their goal in 2015 is to read through the Bible from beginning to end.

We asked Bible Gateway Blog readers to answer the sentence: “What’s your Bible reading goal in 2015?” We allowed people to select up to three responses. More than 4,000 of you voted. Of that number, 41% chose the phrase, “Read through the entire Bible, Genesis – Revelation.” The second-highest response was less ambitious: “Read a verse a day” (24%) (subscribe to Bible Gateway’s Verse of the Day email).
The remaining answers are:
- Read through the Bible chronologically (21%)
- Read through the New Testament (18%)
- Read using an Audio Bible (15%)
- Read through the Gospels (11%)
- Read through the Old Testament (10%)
- Read using the Book of Common Prayer (7%)
- Read through the Epistles (6%)
- Read a verse a week (3%)
- Read using the Common Lectionary (2%)
- Read through the Pentateuch (2%)
- Read a verse a month (1%)
A few of you (4%) even admitted you have no plans regarding the reading of Scripture, by selecting “What goal?”. The reply “Other” was chosen by 10% of readers.
Since 2015 is half over, we hope you’re well on your way in reading the Bible at the pace you intended in January. To assist you in your objective, remember to use Bible Gateway’s many Bible Reading Plans that you can easily personalize to fit your own reading style and time schedule. And share what you read with your Facebook and Twitter followers, telling them about the options available on Bible Gateway.
