Reading Jeremiah in a year
Not chronological, which catches readers out. The emotional weight is the point.
In a one-year plan, Jeremiah occupies days 218 to 235 — 18 days out of 365, or 4.4% of the Bible's 1189 chapters. That is a long stretch on one book, and it is worth knowing before you start rather than discovering it on day three.
