Number of Chapters

Breaking the Bible into separate components makes reading through it much easier. Each section tells you the number of chapter so you can work out how many chapters each day you’d like to read to complete it according to your goals.

Outline of Books

Keeping track of where you are in a book keeps you focused and aids understanding. The outline of every Old Testament book is included in these Reading Assistants, including chapter and verse numbers so you can easily see when one section finishes and another begins.

Selected Key Information

There are lots of things other than just the context of the book, such as poetic structure, key dates and people. These tidbits of information bring the Old Testament to life and deepen your understanding.

Fold Them and Put Them in Your Bible

I provide two sizes, US Letter and A4, both of which can be folded into three panels and comfortably inserted in your Bible. Print in color or black and white, and use the Reading Assistants as a bookmark to track your progress through the three parts of the Old Testament.

Notes on Hebrew Poetry

In the Old Testament Wisdom Reading Assistant, I’ve included a panel that explains the parallelism behind Hebrew poetry, and how to identify some common patterns found particularly in Wisdom literature, but also throughout the Old Testament. Understanding and identifying these patterns will enrich your reading of the Old Testament.

Kings and Prophets

All the Kings and Prophets of Israel and Judah are included in the Old Testament History Reading Assistant, so you can see not only who followed who, but also when they reigned, which prophets prophesied and who was the other king(s) during each reign.

Minor Prophets Memory Tool

Most people find it easy to forget what the Minor Prophets are about. The Old Testament Prophets Reading Assistant includes a short rhyme for each of the minor prophets. These are a useful memory device written by Dr William Varner.

… And much more

What year was did the Northern Kingdom go into exile? Why are there so many genealogies at the beginning of 1 Chronicles? What were the different sacrifices in Leviticus for? There is lots of other important and helpful information contained in these Reading Assistants.

These are beautifully colored and ready to print, but they also look great in black and white.
