I wouldn't worry about how many pages that you read, what I would do if I were you is, if you are reading and there is a story, finish the story. It may be several chapters or it may be only two pages. But dwell in the Scripture and try to figure out what God is saying to you. What is the lesson? What is the blessing? If you're reading at night, try to read at least a half hour. I always told my girls to read the Bible before they went to sleep and that way, God's word was the last thing on their mind. I wish you well, and God's peace.

It is not how much, but how you read that matters. I would suggest this. When you begin a book, lets say John, read the whole thing in one sitting (because that is the way the author intended it).
In the following days read a chapter at a time keeping a notebook answering these questions of the text: who, what, when, where, why?
Doing this is a great start and remember to pray before for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Enjoy the journey!

Well, be easy on yourself and read 3 to 4 chapters a day. It would be good to find a version of the Bible that is easier to understand other than the King James Version. The Living Bible is a good version and is an easier read. You can keep the KJV at hand for comparative reading. God Bless.

There are no set number of pages you have to read per day. The important thing is that you absorb what you've read, allow the Holy Spirit to be your instructor and teach you what God would have you learn, and that you obey and apply what you've learned to your life. At times, I've read a chapter or more a day, and at other times, I've meditated on only a few verses.

Reading the Bible is nice. But if you want to really understand it better consider a Bible study group etc. If you are reading just to wind up your day or to meditate, try finding a particular story in the Bible and read until it is concluded.

There is no set ammount of pages to read. I reccomend that you make sure what you're reading makes sense to you and you know the meaning of each small story your being told. By doing this you become more into what you're reading and will have a better understanding of the Bible.

Some Bibles are 365 years , so they can be read daily. It depends on how much you want to read. Reading something and getting deep down in your heart is better than nothing. You could always use index cards and write scriptures down and try to memorize it. God Bless

I would have to say at least 10, but if you aren't very busy one day, then try to read 30. I should also be reading the bible, but I have been putting it off. I pray as often as possible and before every meal. This is a good way to connect with the lord. Good luck to you..Many blessings
