The Daily Reflections -- New Testament

While reading the Bible from cover to cover in a year is a fantastic goal and accomplishment, it is very difficult, even intimidating. Also, in that reading plan, you only spend three months of the year in the New Testament. While I love the Old Testament, it is in the New Testament that we gain understanding of what the Lord has done for us in salvation and where we find the Lord's expectations and encouragement for our Christian lives.

Perhaps, spending a year in the New Testament is a better fit for you. Then you will enjoy the Daily Reflections NT. It is a daily devotion that includes a summary of the assigned passage, an explanation of difficult concepts, and introspective questions for personal application. See the examples below.
