Bible Reading Plans for this series

I want to recommend two very simple and convenient reading plans that can go along with the series, The Story We Find Ourselves In.
One is from International Bible Society's God's Story edition and gives essential passages that go with the "Acts" of the biblical drama.
The other is from Bible Gateway.com which offers several reading plans including two that gives readings from each book of the Bible over 61 days. You get a birdseye view of the Bible's themes and characters in a two month overview. All of these plans have the passages linked to the reading itself if you want to read it online.

Welcome to "The Story We Find Ourselves In"

Welcome to our teaching blog! We all have a need to increase our Biblical Literacy. This is more than knowledge for the head. It is part of the ongoing joy of spiritual formation - being transformed into the likeness of Christ. Fall and winter, 2006-07 is a major series to help us better see and understand God’s Big Picture - what we’re calling The Story We Find Ourselves In. The phrase is not original with me, but it captures the need to truly live in the Biblical story as a Compassionate Counter-cultural Community. We will teach the Bible as a Drama in Six Acts: Act 1 – Creation, Act 2 - “Fall” or Rebellion, Act 3 - Israel, Act 4 – Jesus, Act 5 – The Church, Acts 6 – The Renewal of all things.

A great book to study along with this series is one I'm using for my URI Biblical Thought course called The Drama Of Scripture. This link will take you to a helpful website where the authors have posted articles and resources to get the most from the book.
