Cover to Cover in 2025
Reading your Bible cover to cover doesn’t have to be a legalistic goal or an item to check off of a list. Through reading the entirety of Scripture, we get to know God and His story more deeply, growing our love, trust, and obedience toward Him.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

The One Story That Leads to Jesus
This reading plan will guide you through the entire Bible in one year. Each day, you’ll read a few chapters—or occasionally skim through large genealogies or census sections—as you make your way from Genesis to Revelation. There are links to articles and videos to help understand the reading.

It makes reading scripture fantastically engaging and accessible for everyone — to those who know nothing about scripture and those who have been reading the Bible for years. It is available across all platforms.
