Old & New Testaments · Five days a week

## Read the whole Bible in a year

## A simple way to read

- Ask God to help you understand and receive His Word.
- Read the passage in context. Notice what it says before deciding how to apply it.
- Choose one truth to remember and pray in response.If you miss a reading, continue from where you stopped. With children, you can divide a chapter into smaller sections and talk about one question together.

## Keep growing together
