Up front: it's a compact hardcover and the print is on the small side. If you read with glasses, keep them handy.

57%

You're in the majority. 57% of Protestant churchgoers say they find it hard to make sense of the Bible when they read it on their own.Lifeway Research, 2019 (survey of 1,002 Protestant churchgoers)

Does this sound like you?

The reading plan starts strong in January, then quietly stops at Leviticus.
You read every word of a chapter and can't say what just happened.
At small group, everyone else seems to be getting something from it.
The sermon is on a book you've never actually opened.

It isn't you. There's one piece nobody handed you.

What Christians post about reading the Bible on their own.

The missing piece

Why the Bible keeps stopping you.

You're not bad at reading the Bible, and you're not less of a Christian because it doesn't click. You've been reading someone else's mail with the envelopes thrown away.

A box of old letters with no envelopes beside an open Bible
Tap through · 4 steps

Every book was someone's mail.

Each book of the Bible was first written to people who already knew the backstory: who was writing, what had just happened, why it mattered.

Paul's letter to the Corinthians was to one church, about problems they already knew they had.

Then the envelopes were thrown away.

66books
~40writers
~1,500years

Laws, songs, history, letters, visions. All in one cover, and not in time order. You got the letters. Nobody handed you the envelopes.

So you read it blind.

Leviticus, a rulebook for priests, handed to you with no idea who it was for or why. Of course it stopped you. Anyone would get lost in a box of letters with no envelopes.

That's why reading harder didn't work, and why the plan died in the same place. It was never your discipline.

Envelope First: the envelope, then the letter.

  • 2Who it was written to

What reading with it looks like

A book doesn't have results to show. It has a way of reading.

Tonight

Open to Genesis. Read its page, then the first chapters, knowing who's talking.

This week

One book, start to finish, at your pace. Notes on the blank page.

The week you reach Leviticus

Its page first. You know what it covers and what its imagery points to.

The next sermon on a book you've read

You already know who wrote it, and who it was written to.

Over the months

66 books. No streak to break, no pace to fall behind.

It won't make every verse clear. Nothing will. It gives you what the first readers already had.

Is it for you?

Made for adults who grew up with the stories.

The one who knows the storiesRaised in church, years of sermons, never finished a book of it.
The Leviticus quitterYou've started Genesis more times than you've finished Exodus.
Coming backRaised in it, stepped away, and want the grown-up version.
Reading on your ownNo group yet, nobody to ask, questions every paragraph.
It isn't for you if:
  • You need large print. The print is on the small side.
  • You want every verse explained. It's a guide to each book, not a commentary.
  • You want something to replace your Bible, church or prayer. It sends you into your Bible.
  • You read a Catholic Bible and want all 73 books. It covers the 66 of the Protestant Bible.

The promise

We carry the risk this time.

Your risk, so far

A plan you restarted. An app you stopped opening. A study Bible that answered the verse and never the book.

You shouldn't have to pay for one more thing that didn't work.

Tap to flip
60days

Our risk

Read it for 60 days. If it doesn't help you understand what you're reading, or the print isn't comfortable for you, email us and we refund you in full.

Keep the book. No forms, no questions.

What waiting costs

Not a sale ending. Another year.

Next January, again

The plan restarts. The wall is still in February. Another year of sermons on books you've never opened.

This time, with the envelope

Someone at group asks why Leviticus is even in the Bible. You don't look down at your page. You say one sentence from the top of its spread.

Before you choose

Questions people ask us.

How big is the print?

We'll be straight with you: it's on the small side. If you read with glasses, keep them handy. If it isn't comfortable, the 60-day guarantee covers it.

I've tried plans, apps and a study Bible. Why is this different?

“I’ve tried several times to read it but, always felt overwhelmed and confused.”r/Bible · ▲21

Each of those gave you something: a pace, the text, notes on a verse. None gave you each book's background before you started it.

Isn't understanding the Holy Spirit's work, not a book's?

“It's worth keeping in mind that the Bible is a spiritual book written to spiritual people, and without that spirit it is impossible to understand.”r/Bible · ▲29

We agree, and nothing here takes that place. Each page is background the first readers already had. It sits beside your Bible, not over it.

Will I end up reading about the Bible instead of reading it?

“I reached a point where I realized I was reading all kinds of books about the Bible... But not actually reading the Bible itself.”r/TrueChristian · ▲271

That's why it's one page per book. Read the page, then read the book.

Protestant or Catholic?

It covers the 66 books of the Protestant Bible. The seven deuterocanonical books aren't included.

Shipping and subscription?

Ships with tracking to US addresses; delivery usually takes 1 to 3 weeks. One payment, nothing renews.

What if it doesn't help me?

Email us within 60 days and we refund you in full. You keep the book.

You already believe in the book. Now open it knowing who's talking.
