Why This Works
Years ago, a friend of mine named Ted Cooper, a happy agnostic, decided to just read the Bible straight through to settle his questions once and for all. He became a Christian halfway through the Old Testament. His experience led to the Bible in 90 Days curriculum, which I brought to my church in 2003. I’ve been helping people read the whole Bible ever since. Bible 180 is that same approach: more breathing room, same commitment.

Read, don’t study
About 30 minutes a day. I’ll provide the weekly schedule, reading context, and outlines. Your job is to read, not analyze. Just read.
Leave a comment
“I’ve read!” on each weekly post is enough. It keeps you accountable and encourages everyone reading alongside you.
Keep going
Miss a day? Pick back up. The goal is finishing, not perfection. July 1 to December 27.
Mom, reader, cheerleader
I read the entire Bible for the first time in 2001, and it changed me. In 2003 I started helping others do the same, facilitating groups and training facilitators. I launched my first online read-through in January 2010 and I’ve been showing up for readers ever since. I won’t tell you what the Bible means, but I will give you the structure, the outlines, and the encouragement to read it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Once the program begins, if you’ve signed up for the daily emails, you will receive a daily email with the reading assignment, encouragement, and sometimes a bit of context to make the reading a touch clearer.
You will then read your Bible on your own time that day (Plan for about 30 minutes). Each week, I will post a check-in on MomsToolbox, and you will leave a comment there to let the group know how you are doing. (Even just “I’ve read!” counts.) That comment is your daily commitment to yourself and everyone reading alongside you.
My commitment is to send daily emails and post weekly. Your commitment is to open those emails daily, read, and check in once a week here on MomsToolbox.com. YOU CAN DO THIS!
No, and that’s intentional. I’ll give you context and outlines to help you understand the big picture of what you’re reading. But I won’t tell you what to think or believe. That’s between you and God. My job is to get you through the whole thing.
Pick back up and keep going — there are no Bible reading police! But I’ll be honest: this is a commitment, and the hardest part is protecting the time. Before July 1, figure out when your 30 minutes will happen each day. Morning with coffee? Treadmill? Lunch break? Have a plan and you’ll be amazed what you can do.
What is the reading schedule?
I have created a daily reading schedule which starts at Genesis, continues through the Old Testament and New Testament, and ends with Revelation. There are three Grace Days incorporated into the program.
To read the entire Bible in 180 days with us, all you need to do is read each and every day starting July 1.
If you sign up for daily emails, you will also receive an email from me each day with the day's reading assignment, encouragement, and other resources. You can also download your own Bible 180 reading schedule and check off each day as you read.
Any translation works. I recommend a thinline NIV for its readability, portability, and minimal footnotes — fewer distractions, easier to keep moving.
Two NIV Bibles to consider are this one (for those who like a physical book) and this one (for those who prefer a digital experience).

None whatsoever. Many of our readers have never opened a Bible before. Come as you are. Seriously.
