This page is intended to help you keep track of your progress when you decide to read the entire Bible in a year.
You may have a daily reading guide that tells you what to read each day, in which case it should be obvious if you're on schedule – although as desribed in the next paragraph, your progress might not be quite what your guide says! If you are using another method where it's not quite so obvious whether you're on course to finish at the end of December, this page can keep you on track.
So what's special about this tracker? Progress is based upon the number of
words you have read, not the number of chapters or books. For each book of the Bible, the average number of words per chapter of that book is calculated. Every time you mark a chapter as read, progress is increased based upon that number, so you have a much better idea of how far through the Bible you really are! (The number of words is based upon the King James version, as detailed
here.)
As you finish each chapter of the Bible,
it below and you'll see your progress get updated.
You can mark a whole book as read or unread (or you can invert what's read and unread!) using the buttons below the chapters. Make sure you
