Welcome to Month 1: Chronological Bible Reading Plan

Welcome to Month 1. This is where your journey through the Word begins. If you have always wanted to read the Bible in one year, you are in the right place. Our Heart Dive 365 plan follows a specific chronological bible reading plan—meaning we read the events in the order they actually happened in history, rather than the order they appear in a standard Bible.

Why does the plan jump from Genesis to Job?

You will notice that in January (Days 001–031), we start in Genesis, jump into Job, return to Genesis, and finish the month in Exodus. There is a very intentional reason for this:

• Genesis 1-11: We cover the dawn of history, from Creation to the Tower of Babel.
• The Book of Job: Most biblical scholars believe Job lived during the same time as Abraham. To keep our chronological study accurate, we sit with Job’s story right where it fits historically.
• Genesis 12-50: We return to the family of Abraham to watch the rise of the twelve tribes of Israel and their journey into Egypt.
• Exodus 1-6: We conclude the month by witnessing the transition from Joseph’s favor to the bondage of the Israelites.
