A Guided Journey through the Bible That Helps Christians Develop Daily Scripture-Reading Habits

Most Christians recognize the value in regular Bible-reading habits but struggle to find the time or motivation. The ESV Daily Reading Bible: A Guided Journey through God’s Word was designed to encourage readers by helping them walk through the entire Bible at a manageable pace.

One-year and two-year plans assign readings to weekdays, leaving the weekends free for further study, deeper reflection, or catching up on missed days. Each reading features brief introductions and notes by Greg Gilbert and Alex Duke, 2–3 chapters of Scripture, and space to answer a reflection question—inviting readers to thoughtfully engage with every chapter of the Bible. Believers in all stages of life will find encouragement in these specially designed reading plans that meet them where they are, helping them to stay motivated as they develop new and lasting habits.

• 500+ Daily Readings: Each reading takes approximately 8–10 minutes and features an introduction by Greg Gilbert and Alex Duke, 2–3 chapters of Scripture, and a reflection question to engage with the text 
• Accessible Reading Plans: Guide readers through the entire Bible over the course of one or two years
• Connects Relevant Scripture Passages: 90 "New Testament Connections" included throughout the Old Testament help readers see how the Old and New Testaments fit together
• Broad Audience: Short readings make this perfect for middle school and high school students, new believers, and seasoned Christians looking to incorporate the Bible into their daily lives in a thoughtful manner
