Choose your Bible reading pace

Want to read faster or take the traditional one-year approach? Find Your Verse lets you build a guided Bible reading schedule for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. The 12-month plan is the default, but your schedule can adapt to the pace that works for you.

How it works

  • Each day shows a short reading made of whole chapters.
  • Mark chapters as read — your progress is saved by chapter, so switching Bible version never resets it.
  • Your place is remembered on every device when you sign in with Google.
  • There are no streaks and nothing is counted against you.

What if I miss some days?

Nothing is lost. When you come back you can continue at your own pace (your finish date moves a little later) or keep your original finish date (the remaining reading is spread over the days left).

Questions

Do I need an account?
No. Anyone can read the plan and every chapter. Signing in with Google simply lets Find Your Verse keep your progress.
Which Bible version can I use?
Any version available on Find Your Verse. Progress belongs to the chapter, not the wording, so you can switch at any time.
Can I pause?
Yes. Pause whenever you need to; nothing is counted while the goal is paused.
