Rainbow Bible Guide
How to make your own:
1) Make the ribbons
Buy 30cm-long ribbons in the seven colours of the rainbow. Glue or sew them
into a cardboard or fabric tab 2cm wide in this order: red, yellow, violet, blue,
orange, indigo, green. (It’s okay to overlap.)
2) Mark your Bible
Insert the tab into the spine of your Bible. Put the red ribbon at the start of
Genesis, the yellow at the start of Joshua, violet in Job, blue in Isaiah, orange in
Matthew, indigo in the gospel of John, and green in Romans.
3) Start reading!
Read a different part of the Bible each day.
Mondays, use the red ribbon and read the Law: Genesis to Deuteronomy
Tuesdays, (orange) read the synoptic gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke
Wednesdays, (yellow) read the history: Joshua to Esther
Thursdays, (green) read the letters: Romans to Jude
Fridays, (blue) you read the prophets: Isaiah to Malachi
Saturdays, (indigo) read the writings: Gospel of John, Acts, Revelation
Sunday, (violet) read the poetry: Job to Songs
Great revelation
This refreshing way brings great revelation to the WHOLE Bible without being
bogged down. I try to read 4 chapters each day and mark where I stop. Then
I’ll read through the Old Testament in a year, and the New Testament twice. But
you can read as much or as little as you want.
Let me know how you get on! johnf@jfm.org.nz
