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.
