The Need:
End Biblical Illiteracy
Though Bibles are available in most American homes and the text can be easily accessed through a computer or smart phone, very few people read the Scripture regularly.
The following are statistics from research groups such as Barna, Pew, and Lifeway.
45% of adults seldom or never read the Bible
Only 43% of Americans can correctly name the first five books
of the Bible
33% of Americans say the Bible is not God's Word
23% of Americans did not read a single book in the past year
Only 65% of Americans are "absolutely certain" God exists
"Isn't it amazing that almost everyone
living in the West has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have really studied it?"
