40 Days Through the Bible

Join the 40 Day Bible Reading Plan

Our family is currently under a two-week self-quarantine in our personal effort to flatten the curve. Although we feel perfectly healthy, we recently traveled from Asia back to the States and are thus uncertain of what we picked up on the way.

Even if we weren't under quarantine, however, we would still be--like most people right now--under some form of lockdown.

Life under lockdown can be full of blessings, if you use it profitably. It allows you to

spend extra time with your family
spend extra time with the Lord
experience the deliverance and provision of the Lord in unusual ways
rethink your priorities

For this reason, we want to share the 40 Day Bible Reading Plan with you.

On this page you can access the daily Bible readings, along with a link to a helpful summary of the passage with themes and things to look for while you read.

The Word of God has the power to change our lives. We often complain of a lack of time to spend truly mining the Scripture, but right now many of us have time on our hands as we wait out our lockdown. Perhaps God wants you to spend this time in this way?

Whatever the case, may God richly bless you and your family during this time and give you peace in the midst of this storm.

This is a helpful resource and a wise idea for any Christian who wants to fight against rising Bible illiteracy.

Most individuals can read the whole Christian Bible in roughly 80 hours. This is NOT speed reading, this is normal conversational rate.

Proof: the famous Alexander Scourby recording of the whole Bible is slightly over 80hrs total. This is audible, spoken speed; most people can read much faster silently than out loud. Therefore, if you want to read the Bible in 40 days, you should need approximately 2hrs/day.

The impediment to reading the Bible is not time; rather, it is distraction, lack of focus, or (let's be honest...) disinterest.

Let me make one more correlation. Have you ever said/thought that "kids these days play way too many video games?" Guess what the average play time is? 15h/week or roughly 2h/day!!! Many kids or adults invest into entertainment, but neglect to spend the same amount of time in knowing the God who made us. In contrast, I have never heard anyone say, "Christians these days just read their Bibles way too much." I wonder what blessings we have missed by not making that be the case...
