Reading Deuteronomy in a year
Reads as summary because it is one. If Exodus and Leviticus are still fresh, this moves quickly.
In a one-year plan, Deuteronomy occupies days 39 to 47 — 9 days out of 365, or 2.9% of the Bible's 1189 chapters. Short enough not to become a project, long enough to develop.
