Once you’ve download the YouVersion Bible app on to your device you can search for and start a Bible reading plan.

For 2025 we are recommending one of the following Bible reading plans:

1. The Bible Recap With Tara-Leigh Cobble – This is a one-year reading plan that takes you through the Old Testament and New Testament (the entire Bible) in chronological order.

2. New Testament in a Year – This Plan will lead you through the New Testament in one year. Each book includes videos specifically designed to enhance your understanding and engagement with Scripture.

If you are new to daily Bible reading we recommend you go with the New Testament in a Year. You decide which plan to start.
