As we dive into a new biblical genre each month in 2018 to Know His Word more fully, we’ll also be posting a reading plan to walk through each genre. We’ll post the reading plan a few days before the 1st of the month so that you have plenty of time to print it off, share, and be prepared to jump in when the new month starts!
