During these few months of starting to read the Bible, I found these tools to be very useful and I would like to share them here. I know of more tools, but these are the ones that I have used the most so far.
Devotional Materials
ESV Bible Online: Devotions
http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/devotions/
- free
- ESV
- devotional material and Bible reading plans
- Every Day in the Word (25 minute read, picks from different parts of the Bible for a diverse read, is probably the reason I read my Bible at all, give it a shot if you don't have a Bible plan)
Bethlehem Baptist Church: Fighter Verses
