The truth? Source: Gallup Most of us have a hard time connecting with the Bible.

The number of Bible readers has fallen by one fifth in a single generation’s time. Source: Gallup That’s like 700 people giving up on the Bible every day.

4 out of 5 of us Source: REVEAL don’t get the help we need understanding Scripture.

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

1. We read in fragments.

2. We read without context.

3. We 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 this is also different approach to the Bible.

We’ll read the entire New Testament in 8 weeks. We’ll share the journey together.

How it works...

Read (or listen). 12 pages a day, 5 days a week. ±

Read (or listen). All it takes is around 20 minutes a day.

Share the journey. More “book club” than “Bible study.”

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