Every day, hundreds of people give up reading the Bible. Source: Gallup

4 in 5 of us don’t get enough help understanding the Bible. Source: REVEAL

What’s keeping us from engaging God’s Word?

For too long, we’ve read in fragments.

For too long, we’ve read without context.

For too long, we’ve read in isolation.

A better Bible experience is possible.

experienced in community the complete Bible understood in context

It starts with a different kind of Bible.

No artificial formatting Natural section breaks restored A book order that promotes better understanding of the story Introductions that reveal the context of each book A Bible designed to be read from beginning to end

But it’s also a different approach to the Bible.

an 8-week journey through the New Testament sharing the journey in community more book club than Bible study

How to approach this Community Bible Experience...

You’ll read (or listen to) around 12 pages a day, 5 days a week.

All it takes is around 30 minutes a day.

So what happens next?

Remember... we’re reading big. (And we’re in this together.)
