Hi Jason,
Wonder if I might recommend a personal favourite?
Jerabek’s Lenten reading plans are available for download: http://www.lovethechurch.com/lent/
He has four – most of them markedly Catholic, but the Church Fathers reading plan is a magnificent tour de force: by day 40 the reader would have read significant chunks of 10 Fathers, and the recommended time to commit to reading is only around 15 minutes.
Best Wishes
Ollie
