OT Reading Schedule Creator

Summer is a great time for students to "get a jump"
on the upcoming Seminary year. Each summer I like
to challenge students to read the book of scripture
for the coming year's Seminary study.

This year students can be challenged to read all
of the assigned Old Testament Seminary chapters
during their school break. (In case you're curious,
there are 251 of them.)

But since no two school systems seem to follow the
same school schedule, each Seminary has needed
to create their own summer schedule -- and, sometimes,
multiple schedules.

So, to make your job easier...

I have created a spreadsheet that will automatically
create an Old Testament reading schedule for you and
your students based on starting and ending dates that
YOU enter.

This will allow you the flexibility of creating as many
different reading schedules as you'll need.

If one student moves in during June and another student
moves in during July, no problem! If a student forgets
to read and wants to start over, no problem! You can
easily create a reading chart customized for each student.

There are two versions of the Old Testament Reading
Schedule Creator:

1) A SUMMER 2007 version -- available for everyone
to download and use. It will create reading schedules
from now through September 15, 2007. (It is available
on the "Ideas and Samples" page of my website.)

2) A YEAR-LONG [Seminary-Notes] CLUB version -- available
for CLUB members to download and use. This version can
create schedules up to 295 days long between now and
summer 2008. It is available for downloading by
[Seminary-Notes] CLUB members in the CLUB section
of my website. (Non-CLUB members may purchase a copy
of the year-long version for just $2.99.)

To create a reading schedule (with either version),
all you need to do is:

Enter the STARTING DATE
Enter the ENDING DATE
Print

The Old Testament Reading Schedule Creator schedules all 251
chapters from the Old Testament Seminary lesson reading
schedule. You can also print a reading schedule that covers
the entire Old Testament.

Please note:

A) Macros. When you load the Old Testament Reading Schedule
Creator, I recommend that you select "Enable" macros (so that
you can easily print the reading schedules that you create).

B) Printing. Your personalized Old Testament Summer Reading
Schedule should print neatly on one or two pages, and the Old
Testament Chapter Reading Assignments list should print neatly
on a second page.

I hope you'll find the Old Testament Reading Schedule Creator
useful!

Best wishes,

Ken

What a great idea. I'm no longer a Seminary teacher, but I want to use this OT Reading Schedule Creator for my personal study. Much as I love the Old Testament, it can seem overwhelming if not broken down into small reading chunks. Thank you. Glad I stumbled across this blog today.
