Old Testament Bible Studies by Scripture

Walk with the Word revolves around the Scripture Reading Plan in combination with the weekly newsletter.

The reading plan when going through the Old Testament covers an average of 11 chapters a week (15 through the Psalms), all of which is read by those following it. The newsletter provides a Bible study from a section of the reading. So, in effect, subscribing to the newsletter will automatically deliver one of these Bible studies each week, synchronized to the reading plan.
