Your journey through the Bible

By

"I've read bits of the Bible but I don't really know how they all fit together."
"I love the Bible. I'd like some help to understand it better and how it applies to my life today."
"I've never read the Bible much but I'm interested in finding out more of what's in it."

Any of those quotes sound like you? Then the E100 Bible Reading Challenge is for you!

The challenge is to read 100 carefully selected, essential, short Bible passages - 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament. The passages are usually one to two chapters in length and can easily be read in 10 minutes or less. It can be used by churches together or individuals on their own.

What is it?

The E100 Bible Reading Challenge is based around 100 carefully selected Bible readings (50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament) designed to give participants a good understanding of the overall Bible story from Genesis to Revelation. The 'E' stands for Essential and each of the Essential 100 readings ranges from a few verses to a few chapters.

The programme is very flexible and can be used by individuals but it is even more powerful when adapted to the context of the local church. Through completing the challenge, participants are encouraged to build a regular habit of spending time with God through Bible reading and prayer.
Although some of the Bible is easily understood it is not all an easy read. So that is where the E100 Bible Reading Challenge guide comes to help — 100 carefully selected Bible excerpts from both the Old and New Testaments, along with engagingly written notes to help you reflect on the Bible's meaning and relevance for you today. It highlights the major themes in a way that really makes sense. And there is space for you to make notes — either on how God is speaking to you or to note down questions to follow up later.

Essential 100 is a beautiful book, ideal for beginners in Bible reading as well as the more experienced. It provides a comprehensive overview of the Bible including introductions for different sections, 100 readings with notes, and opportunities to pray and respond. It encourages a holistic head and heart engagement with the Bible alongside intimacy with God. Anyone wanting to discover the 'big picture' of the Bible, its relevance to daily life, and a relationship with God will find this book invaluable.
