Foundations: Old Testament Bible Study Book is a 260-day reading plan that includes devotional content and a journaling method designed to enhance understanding, interaction, and application. After failed attempts at reading through the Bible in a year with previous discipleship groups, Robby Gallaty created a manageable way to do it. With a traditional reading plan of four to five chapters a day, unread chapters can begin to pile up, forcing you to skip entire sections to get back on schedule. Bible reading becomes a system of box-checking instead of a time to hear from God. The required reading also makes it difficult to sit and reflect on what you’ve read for that day. This resource simply requires you to read one or two chapters a day for five days each week. The two off-days are built in so you can take a break or get caught up if you missed a day. This helps you move at your own pace and get the most from your reading plan. In order to digest more of the Word, Foundations encourages believers to read less but to keep a HEAR journal. HEAR stands for Highlight, Explain, Apply, and Respond. This study method will help you retain more of what you read, understand the meaning, and apply God’s wisdom in your life.
