Hm, what if I want to read the entire Book of Mormon in 30 days, 60 days or by April 27th? How many pages per day will that be or how many chapters will I need to read each day to meet my goal?

“HOW IT WORKS: For this schedule, you’ll read the Book of Mormon and the Bible together… a few pages of each, each day. When you take a look at the schedule, it should make sense. Just follow along day by day. You’ll read between 5 and 8 pages per day. Some of the numbers may seem confusing at first. Here’s a clip from the schedule with explanations that should make it easier to follow:”

“It takes 21 days to form a habit. My experience has been to never allow yourself to fall more than two days behind. Bless your efforts.” If you don’t start January 1st, THAT’S OK!! Just follow the schedule… starting whichever day you start… and you’ll end NEXT YEAR on THAT DAY!

Special thanks to all those sites which make it easier for me to make righteous goals. These tools will definitely make it easier for me & my family to read the scriptures and be able to meet our goals in a more organized fashion. I just love lists and being organized! God speed with your scripture reading goals this year and for years to come!
