A special journey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The great philosopher Yogi Berra tells us, "If you don't know where you're going, then you'll wind up someplace else." So, let's remember where we are going: straight through the Bible, from cover to cover.

Many people will tell you this can't be done. Most of these naysayers mean well. They may be:

· family members
· friends or co-workers
· a church leader or several

But, you see, MOST CHRISTIANS have never taken this journey, even though MOST want to.

Those who have - and as we continue our mission that number is growing -- tell us things like:

I can't believe I read the whole thing!
This has led me much closer to Him.
Why haven't we always done it this way?
Now the Bible is mine.
For the first time, I have an idea of how the whole story fits together.
I see the B I G picture.
Now I'm ready for deeper study.

Enjoy this special journey. It will be a challenge, but a worthwhile one. When people ask you what you are reading this winter, you can tell them,

"Something that is changing my life."

Resources + Community = Extraordinary experience with the Word of God
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our ministry's mission is to (1) encourage people to read the entire Bible and (2) to provide exceptional resources to help them do so. Our curriculum and resources have proven themselves uniquely capable of helping people read the Bible from cover to cover in 90 days. Of course, you are NOT required to use these tools, but we STRONGLY encourage you to do so. While SOME people succeed using their own Bible and plan, THE MAJORITY succeeds when using The Bible in 90 Days curriculum and resources.

A special resource this winter is Blogging thru The Bible in 90 Days. Spearheaded by longtime B90 champion and facilitator Amy Gross of Mom's Toolbox, 36 blog hosts have banded together to encourage their readers to journey through the Bible in 90 days. We're excited to see where God may lead this. For more information, see Mom's Toolbox and Blogging thru the Bible in 90 Days.

Finally, for best results, we STRONGLY encourage you to get your church, family, neighborhood, corporate Bible study or other community to participate together: each person reads on his/her own, but gathers weekly in community for accountability, fellowship, small group discussion, video lessons and encouragement. You can find out more at www.biblein90days.org.

Please know that our ministry is here to support you throughout.
