Most Bible-in-a-year plans fall apart by February.
- I start a reading plan every January, and lose my place within a few weeks.
- I check the boxes, but I don’t really understand what I’ve read.
- Once I fall behind, catching up feels impossible, so I quit.
- I want to read the whole Bible at least once in my life.
You don’t need more willpower.
Reading plans usually fail when the reading stops making sense. When you know who wrote a book, what’s happening and why it matters, the pages stop feeling like homework. That’s what this plan gives you.
A gentle plan, with a guide for every step.
A 52-week path through the whole Bible, with a clear guide for each book so you always know what you’re reading and why.
Your year is laid out in 52 weekly steps that move through every book of the Bible.
Before each book, a short guide sets the scene: who wrote it, when, and what to watch for. So you read with confidence instead of confusion.
Your library remembers where you stopped, so a busy week never means starting over.
- A 52-week plan through all 66 books
- A clear guide before each book
- Progress tracking that remembers your place
Made for anyone who wants to finish
- First time through the Bible
- Tried a plan before
- Reading with others
- Giving a gift
The same simple path, every time
Read one guide and you’ll know how to read them all. Each one moves in three clear steps.
“They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.”
- Part 1
The Big Picture
Who wrote it, when, why, and where it fits in God's story.
- Who wrote it, and for whom
- What was happening in the world
- Key themes to watch for
From the Ruth guide Ruth at a glance
The book opens with a time stamp: “In the days when the judges judged” (Ruth 1:1). It was one of the darkest times in Israel’s history. There are no miracles here and no visions. Just a grieving widow, a loyal daughter-in-law from a foreign land, and a kind landowner. Yet God’s quiet care runs through every page.
- Part 2
Walk Through It
A clear, chapter-by-chapter walk through what happens and what it means.
- What happens, in plain English
- Customs and history explained
- How it connects to the rest of the Bible
From the Ruth guide Ruth 2: A field, a stranger and a kindness
Ruth goes out to glean, gathering the grain the harvesters leave behind. God’s law told farmers to leave the edges of their fields for the poor and the foreigner (Leviticus 19:9–10), and Ruth is both. Then the writer adds a line with a twinkle in its eye: “she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz” (Ruth 2:3). In this story, nothing just happens.
- Part 3
Live It Out
Key verses, reflection questions and a simple prayer to carry it into your week.
- Key verses to remember
- Questions for you or your group
- A short prayer to close
From the Ruth guide Key verse
“where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”
Ruth 1:16
Reflect
Ruth stayed when leaving would have been easier. Where is God asking you to stay faithful right now?
Pray
Lord, thank you for working quietly in my ordinary days. Make me loyal like Ruth and generous like Boaz. Amen.

Reading for years
You know the stories. This is the history and meaning underneath them that no one ever handed you.

You want to guide others well. Clear enough to teach from, deep enough to be worth teaching.
Everything inside, by the numbers
No padding and no filler: just the whole of Scripture, made clear.
Genesis to Revelation, none skipped.
Every chapter placed in the bigger story.
The same clear layout on every page.
Money-back guarantee: keep the guide either way.

Questions, answered
Straight answers about the guides, the printed edition, billing and refunds.
What if I miss a week?
Nothing is lost. There are no deadlines, and your guide never expires. Your library remembers where you stopped, so you can pick up whenever you’re ready.
Do I have to start in January?
No. Start any week of the year. Week 1 begins whenever you do.
Is this a printed book or a digital guide?
You get the digital edition: instant access in your Covenant Path library on any phone, tablet or computer, and you can print any guide or save it as a PDF at home. A printed hardcover edition is in the works, but it’s sold out right now.
Do I have to become a member to buy this?
No. Choose “Buy at regular price” to pay $49.99 once: no membership and no future charges. The lower member price is optional, and every guide you buy is yours to keep either way.
How do the Family and Small-group packs work?
Choose “Buy 2, Get 1 FREE” (3 copies, 2 to give away) or “Buy 3, Get 2 FREE” (5 copies, 4 to give away). You keep one copy, and each extra copy comes to you as a gift link you can send by email or text. Whoever opens a gift link gets the guide in their own Covenant Path library.
Does this replace my Bible?
No. Covenant Path sits beside your Bible, not in place of it. The guides explain the background, what happens and how to live it out, while you read Scripture itself in whatever Bible you love.
Which Bible translation do you use?
We quote the World English Bible (WEB), a modern English translation in the public domain. The guides work with any Bible you like to read, such as the NIV, KJV, ESV, NKJV or NLT, because they explain the books themselves, not one translation’s wording.
What devices does it work on?
Any phone, tablet or computer with a web browser. There’s no app to download. Sign in on any device and pick up where you left off. You can make the text larger, switch to a warm sepia page, and print any guide or save it as a PDF.
What if it’s not for me?
Read for 60 days. If it doesn’t help, email support@covenantpath.com and we’ll give you a full refund. No forms, no hassle.
