Have you ever been confused by Bible timelines?
Me too.
It wasn’t until recent years that I learned that the Bible is not written in chronological order, particularly the Old Testament. And one timeline I was especially confused by was that of the Kings and Prophets. I recently read through the Bible chronologically in a month and it was life-changing! Reading the Bible in this way helped me understand both timelines and Biblical history better. I wanted to create a resource to help others do the same, and I was inspired by a timeline that Visual Theology created on the Kings and Prophets and decided to adapt and create one as well. I am thankful for the beautiful talents of a friend (Bethany Young) who helped me finish this, and you can download it for free HERE.

Highlighting (though not necessary) helps us to slow down and observe the text.
Using the same highlighting method helps with continuity across Bibles and identifying the essential elements of a passage-theme, main ideas- quicker.
The printout is a bookmark size to easily put in a Bible, but you could also download it and keep electronically.

Every year I read chronologically through the entire Bible in one month, and it has been life-changing.
& I found this to be one of the most helpful things to do:
Writing a one sentence summary on every book. I realize that not everyone will have the chance to read through the entire Bible, and I wanted to offer these summaries for free in case they might help. If you do have a chance to read straight through the Bible at least once in your lifetime, I highly recommend it! I found it to be so helpful in understanding the big picture, timelines, and main themes. In the meantime, if you’d like to download my summaries they are offered at the end of this paragraph. Disclaimer: Remember that these are not comprehensive summaries, and everyone might have a different take on what the overall summary of a particular book of the Bible might be. While I primarily wrote these for my own personal use, I hope they can be a help to some/many who want some more help in understanding the big picture of the Bible and the individual books. You can download the summaries HERE.
