Bible Reading Companion
There are few things one can do to build a strong and meaningful relationship with the Lord more effectively than by reading God’s word, the Bible. Jesus declared, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” He compared the scriptures to spiritual food that we need in order to grow strong and healthy in spirit.
The Bible Reading Companion will help you navigate your way through the Bible. It provides summaries of every chapter in every book. Each book is introduced with background information to help you understand the context in which it was written.
Included in The Bible Reading Companion is a built-in daily Bible reading planner, synchronized with the planners offered on the “Bible Reading” page of this website and the daily reading planner of the free “Bible Companion” app also available on that page. Together, these tools will help you develop a daily routine of feasting on the word of God, enabling you to build a foundation of faith grounded directly in divine guidance.

Christian Discipleship
Christian Discipleship
Faith in Jesus Christ is essential to salvation. Yet faith by itself is not sufficient to secure it.
Jesus declared, “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14).
Too often, believers neglect their faith, making little effort to nurture or strengthen it. True discipleship requires a steadfast commitment to Jesus as Lord, Master, Teacher, and Savior. Regardless of the present state of your faith, Christian Discipleship will guide you through the scriptural teachings that shape your eternal destiny. With deeper understanding and renewed devotion, you will gain confidence in your faith and assurance of its everlasting reward.
