The best way we know to
prepare for Easter…

As that New Year's excitement begins to fade, are you losing traction on some of the healthy habits you started this year? Thankfully Easter is on the way, bringing with it another chance for renewal. Christians all over the world observe the 40 days leading up to our remembrance of Jesus' resurrection as a time to reflect, repent, and prepare our hearts to celebrate new life. Consider making the Bible an intentional part of your day, every day, between now and Easter Sunday.


Bible Plans.

When you subscribe to a Bible Plan, the Bible App gives you a brief passage to read (or listen to) each day. Plans draw you into the Bible every day, helping you meditate on what God's Word means in your life. We've selected these seven Plans to help you connect during Lent:


Lent for Everyone
from N.T. Wright, 53 days
40 Days of Lent
from Journey Church, 47 days
ReThink Life​
from ReThink, 40 days
40 Days of Revival
from Hillsong, 40 days
Preparing Our Hearts for Easter:
A Lenten Devotional

from Redeemer Presbyterian Church, 40 days
In Our Place: Lenten Devotions from Time of Grace
from Time of Grace, 14 days
Awed by Christ's Resurrection:
6 Days of Decrease

from Alicia Britt Chole, 6 days

The Bible is better with Friends.

The most important things in our lives are best when we're sharing them with others. Ask a family member or a friend — or several — to join you in a Bible Plan during Lent. Then each day, discuss what you're discovering. Share your questions with each other, and encourage one another as you pursue greater devotion to Christ. Adding Friends in the Bible App is easy!

The Bible App was installed on more than 5 million unique devices
during January — the most ever for a single month.
What does that mean?


First, one step…

Five million times during the last month, in countries all over the world, people shared one simple idea: "I should try reading the Bible." And when they searched for "Bible" using their mobile device, they discovered the Bible App — then installed it. For many of these people, this was their first step on a journey toward God.

"You will seek me and find me,
when you seek me with all your heart."
—Jeremiah 29:13, English Standard Version

Then another step…

The worldwide YouVersion community broke another record in January, too: together, you completed more than 2.3 million Bible Plans. Bible Plans are one of the best ways we know to learn how to apply principles from the Bible to your everyday life. Bible Plans give you a brief passage to read (or listen to) each day, feeding your soul with encouragement, wisdom, and inspiration. And when you feel inspired…

What's your next step?

We hope that you're one of the many who are already actively engaging with the Bible every day. If you've felt God's Word (the Bible) speaking to you, then you've begun to understand the power it has to transform your life. Help other people discover that same power.
