These devotional guides are designed to take you through the Bible in 40 days. We suggest doing four sessions per week, taking ten weeks to go through the entire Bible.  

Each guide follows a basic daily pattern in three parts. In Part 1, you will read a few Bible verses. The verses will be printed in these guides, but to get a “fuller sense” of each verse, you can go to your Bible and read the surrounding verses. In Part 2, I will explain what you are reading and its connection to the larger story of the Bible. In Part 3, I will challenge you to think deeply about the implications of these passages, not only to help you learn, but to change your life.

This guide intends to take you through some of the most important passages in the Bible to help you get a big picture of what God is doing. Our other aim is that you would feel comfortable opening any book of the Bible. This guide will cover every book—briefly—so that you can confidently read any part of the Bible on your own.

Part 1: Origin Story—The origin of humanity, God’s people, and the current state of the world
Part 2: Wars, Kings and Songs—The rise and fall of Israel as God’s Kingdom
Part 3: Prophets and Exile—Message of destruction, redemption, and life in the aftermath
Part 4: Kingdom Come—The Promised One comes and announcement of a new Kingdom begins
