The goal of Read Scripture is that everyone would read the Bible for themselves and discover the truth and beauty of God’s Word. To this end, we are curating a year-long Bible reading plan and supplementing the reading with amazingly creative videos (produced by our friends at the Bible Project) that explain every book of the Bible, major theological themes of the gospel, and tips on how to read the Bible. We house all of this content in a beautifully designed app that is available to download in the App Store. We encourage you to experience Read Scripture in community but it is set up so that you can go through it on your own.

The Gospels App by AshtonTech

There are many wonderful Bible apps out there, but where do I start? What if I am learning about Christianity for the first time? There's a lot of books and a lot of opinions on where a beginner inquiring into Christianity should start reading. This app focuses particularly on the Four Gospels of Jesus Christ; the first four books of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This is one way to start to learn about Christianity; the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I designed this app to be completely free of cost and free of advertisements. You can highlight and share passages, write notes, and leave a bookmark to come back to later. Even if you have 5 minutes a day to learn about Jesus, you can read one small chapter at a time to learn about Christ and why He is so important to the world. My prayer is that all people across the world read and learn about Jesus Christ and share what they have learned. “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
