Read the Bible in a Year

Read through the Bible in a year and gain a fresh understanding of how it is a unified story that leads to Jesus. Read Scripture is an app by The Bible Project that combines beautifully illustrated videos that introduce each book and major themes of the Bible, a few chapters of a book of the Bible each day along with one Psalm. Most daily readings take between 15 and 20 minutes. 

The point of the reading plan isn't to rush through the Scriptures; it's to allow God's Word to impact our lives, shift our perspective and help us know God better. If you want to take it slower or get caught up in the over-arching story and want to keep going, please do so. 

Get started
You have two options for the format of your daily reading:

• Download a PDF with each day's reading and links to watch the videos on The Bible Project's YouTube channel. Use this option if you like to hold the Bible in your hands, have a favorite version or like to highlight verses and write in the margins.
• Or, get the app on your smartphone or tablet from the Apple App Store or Google Play and have everything in one place. Track your progress and get daily reminders to help you stay motivated. We like the app option because they have a default setting that removes the chapter and verse numbers for more reading flow.
