If you want to study the Bible in a different way, you can make an outline of each book as I have done below for the Book of Genesis. This helps you to know where things are happening in the Bible. Open your Bible, read, and make an outline. Study the outlines so you can find Scriptures you need quickly.

I hope you enjoy studying the Bible in this outlining method as much as I do. Yes, it takes a lot of work to complete an outline of the entire Bible. But you will learn the layout and organization of the Bible along the way.
