Introduction to YEAR ONE of the Bible Book Club

We are starting our FOURTH three year cycle of the Bible Book Club! Come and read 1-2 chapters a day.

There is a page entitled "How the Bible Book Club Came to Be" above to hear the story!

PRAYER

The only thing that is missing is accountability from others so you can do "Kingdom" living together! Try to find someone so you can hold each other accountability in your "I WILL's"!  

YEAR ONE involves Creation to the Kingdom of Israel with Psalms and Proverbs interspersed in their time periods.
