What is The Bible in 90 Days?

The Bible in 90 Days is a Bible READING curriculum. It helps people read attentively the entire Bible -- from cover to cover -- in 90 days. Churches across denominations, prisons, drug rehab missions, corporate Bible studies and neighborhood small groups have all used the curriculum successfully to help people read the entire Bible. Recently, small towns have begun inviting their citizens to do this curriculum. To date, groups have ranged from 2 people to 1000 people. (No kidding). They span 47 states and several foreign countries.

What ISN'T The Bible in 90 Days?

The Bible in 90 Days is NOT a speed-read through the Bible. Rather, it's akin to reading the Bible like a novel.

What is the process, in a nutshell?

Each participant reads on his or her own, then gathers once a week with other participants. The weekly meetings include guided small group discussion, activities, and a video lesson. For most people, the fellowship, accountability and material shared during the weekly meetings is CRUCIAL to their successfully reading the entire Bible.

Why 90 days?

Because most people can wrap their minds around doing something for 90 days. Imagine giving a person a choice to diet for three months... or twelve. Which is more likely to succeed?

From day one, the end is in sight. This becomes important AT SOME POINT for each participant. The reading IS a challenge, though most participants tell us it is a manageable challenge. And the payoff more than compensates.

Here is a Brief History message from Ted Cooper Jr., the founder of Bible in 90 Days:


Ted Cooper

In 1999, I read the Bible for the first time. I was 43 years old, and happily agnostic when I began reading. Halfway through the Bible, I became a believer. It changed my life.

In 2001, I created a course to help other people read the Bible. The curriculum began as a Wednesday night class at my local church. Response to the course was so great -- as was the number of successful finishers -- that we offered it again. Same response, same high rate of success.

In 2002, I left my career and founded the Bible in 90 Days ministry. In 2003, we developed our first video series. Jack Modesett created and presented fourteen lessons designed to KEEP PEOPLE ENGAGED in the reading. Not only do participants respond well to Jack's lessons, course leaders tell us they love to view them time and again.

In 2005, Zondervan published the curriculum and a Bible specifically for The Bible in 90 Days. A second video series was added to the curriculum, this one by two Bible scholars - John Walton (Old Testament) and Mark Strauss (New Testament). This series, too, has been very well received.

In 2007, the curriculum was translated into Spanish.

In 2008, Albany TX and Waterville OH launched the first community-wide readings of The Bible in 90 Days.

In 2009, we re-wrote the Leader's and Participant's Guides. More and more churches are offering the program on a church-wide basis, and new communities are hosting.
