And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Not at all, and it never will. Bible Made Simple is a companion that sits next to your Bible. It explains the background, structure, and message of each book so that when you read Scripture itself, it finally makes sense.
Most guides explain what happened. They skip the part that makes it make sense: who wrote it, who they were writing to, and what was going on in the world at the time. Every book here starts with that context, in the same simple layout, so by book three you'll know exactly where to look.
The language is plain, but the content isn't shallow. You get authorship, historical setting, audience, and purpose for all 66 books, plus how every book points to Christ. That's the background most people never get outside seminary.
Nothing happens. There's no plan, no streak, and no required order. Every book stands on its own. Open whatever you're reading, or whatever you're going through, and start there.
Yes, it's one of the most common ways people use it. The language works for about ages 10 and up, and every order includes the "Who Am I?" Bible game, built for exactly that. One book together, one round of the game, done in ten minutes.
After your order, you'll get an email from our team with a link to download your guide. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer.
Our printed edition is available too. You'll find it in the shop.
Yes. All 66 books, Genesis to Revelation, Old Testament and New. Every book gets the same simple layout.
There's no homework and no "right" speed. Most people read a book's pages in about five minutes before they open that book of the Bible, then keep it beside them while they read.
Every story, crystal clear
