The Course

What this is: the same fifty-two readings as the year, ordered as a course you can start in any month: who Jesus is, then the way he taught, then mercy, the least, the kingdom, the cost, the watch, and finally the cross and the rising. Begin at week one and go one reading a week.

How to use it: start at week 1 and go one unit a week. Unlike the Year, there is no season to keep pace with; you set your own start and your own pace. Watch-flagged units (dot) are spread across the course rather than clustered.
