If you’re feeling disconnected, why not try one of these titles to help you get back into the Bible? Reading the Bible is the best way to hear from God.
Does fall and school starting again get you in the mood to dive into studying something? It does for us! Since there’s nothing more valuable to study than the Bible, we’ve collected a list of 11 books to get you and your family back into Scripture this fall. Even if you might not have the time to read the Bible daily, reading it as often as possible is an essential investment in your faith and relationship with God.
Books to Get You Reading the Bible
The most important step in getting back to the Bible is to actually read the Bible regularly. These five books below all contain Bible reading plans you can follow to begin reading the Bible as well as key takeaways from each day’s reading and important context details to help you better understand the Bible.
Let’s Read the Gospels covers only a reading plan for reading the Gospels, but The Bible Recap, The Bible Study, and 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge all provide a guide to reading the entire Bible from start to finish.
For kids ages 6 and up, The Bible Recap Kids’ Devotional is the perfect way to get them started reading and understanding the Bible on their own through engaging activities and clear explanations of each key verse.
Let’s Read the Gospels: A Guided Journal by Annie F. Downs

Books to Keep You Reading the Bible
Once you’ve gotten back into reading the Bible, maybe you need or want a little encouragement to keep going. There are always days when it’s more difficult to make time to read Scripture, despite your best intentions. If that’s the case for you, check out The God Shot for short snapshots rich in theology to help you better understand God’s character.
For help with Scripture memorization, check out Dwell Differently. Natalie and Vera offer simple, creative, and engaging ways to help you memorize God’s Word and use it to replace negative thoughts with peace.

Books to Help You Better Understand the Bible
If you’ve mastered reading the Bible regularly, it might be time to take your understanding of God to a deeper level. We recommend The 40-Day Feast by Wendy Speake as your first step toward understanding the Bible more deeply and applying its truth to your life.
If you are looking to learn more about Jesus specifically, start with Knowing Jesus as King, which will take you deep into the Gospel of Matthew and is perfect for individual or group study.
Finally, Talking with Your Kids about Jesus is our go-to book to equip parents to explain key aspects of Jesus and Christianity to children of all ages to strengthen their faith and guard them against attacks from skeptics.
