Free 52-Week Bible Reading Plan

One Chapter A Week Through The Big Story

Explore the Bible at your own pace. One chapter per week with study questions, activities, prayers, and memory verses to deepen your engagement with Scripture.

Welcome To 52

Bible 52 Week Reading Plan

The Bible's big story can feel overwhelming. Our 52-Week Reading Plan breaks it down into manageable pieces, guiding you through one chapter each week at your own pace. Over a year, you'll explore 28 Old Testament and 24 New Testament passages, with study questions, reflection activities, prayers, and memory verses to help you engage more deeply with Scripture.

The Timeline

So… What Is Covered?

The plan revolves around a SIMPLIFIED timeline that lets readers understand the key elements, events and stories of the Bible without getting buried in the details. Each week has selected readings, a memory verse and challenges that apply the scriptures in a meaningful, practical way.

Old Testament

Begin with the Creation Story, take a “deep dive” into the fall in Genesis 3, then examine the lives of leading characters, Abraham, Moses, Joshua and Esther and the writings of the major prophets, priests and kings.

New Testament

Explore God’s plan of redemption through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Readings from the four gospels, Paul’s writings and the epistles cover communion, repentance, baptism and the Holy Spirit.

A Closing Journey

The plan draws to a close with reflections on prayer, faith & love, wisdom, suffering and the hope of a new world to come.

A Sneak Peek

So… What Can You Expect?

Each week there are selected Bible readings, activities, questions and a prayer, plus a memory verse. Suitable for all ages and worth sharing with those around you: perfect for schools, Sunday Schools, new believers and families.

4 Easy Steps

How To Use Bible 52

Each week is a reading a day, plus activities, questions and a prayer and a memory verse to carry with you.

Read

Grab your Bible and read the daily passage, learn the weekly memory verse, and dig into the deeper optional passages to discover how the BIG STORY weaves together.

Live

Have a go at each week’s easy challenges, designed to help people of all ages put into practice what they’ve read, and make the connection that engagement means application, not just study.

Look

Journal how God is speaking to you using three questions: What does this passage say about God? What does it say about you? Which verse stands out most, and why?

Pray

God loves it when we talk to Him. We hope these prayers act as a springboard to propel you deeper into this wonderful aspect of our faith.
