We often say we have no time to do significant Bible reading, but you don’t need as much time as you might think. The below infographic shows how long it takes to read each book in the Old Testament (see our New Testament infographic as well).
While we shouldn’t rush through our reading, there is a benefit to reading through an entire book in one sitting. It gives you a greater appreciation for the flow of the book and helps you to understand the broad overview.
Here’s how long it would take to read through each book of the Old Testament in one sitting:

Clayton,
Just wanted to say thanks for this! It’s super accurate. Started reading on 12/17/18 and will finish the Old Testament by 1/6/19. This has helped guide me with expectations and goals!
Glad to hear that it was an encouragement to dig into the Word – Keep up the good work!
