The Trail: A Journey Through the Bible

Discover a transformative Bible reading program that weaves daily prayers and reflective journaling into your spiritual walk. The Trail: A Journey Through the Bible offers a fresh, inviting path into the timeless wisdom and wonder of the Bible, integrating centering prayers, a carefully curated reading plan of the Old Testament, New Testament, and Apocrypha, and open journaling space to capture your insights along the way. Thoughtfully arranged for both structure and contemplation, this book draws you into God’s story while deepening your own faith journey.

The Trail offers a structured yet contemplative approach to exploring the Scriptures, featuring:

• Centering Prayers: Begin each session with prayers to quiet distractions and focus your mind on your time spent with God. Establish a meaningful daily rhythm in Bible reading rooted in prayerful focus.
• Curated Reading Plan: Encounter the unfolding narrative of God’s people with a unique, historically attentive reading plan. The Trail’s daily readings emphasize the narrative flow of God’s acts in the lives of His people.
• Reflective Space: Capture your thoughts, questions, and insights in dedicated journal sections, encouraging growth and deeper understanding.
• Daily Podcast: We have created a daily podcast which offers brief reflections on one or more of the daily passages.

How The Trail can help you explore the Bible in a meaningful way:

• • You set the path and the pace – You do not need to complete all the readings for each day. Since The Trail is based primarily on reading through the New Testament, you can choose only to read the New Testament through the year. Or, you can add the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament. Also, if you do not want to read the Apocrypha, you can always leave out those readings. The path is yours to design.
  • Connect with historical background – At times, connecting the writings of prophets with the historical context of Israel and Judah can be challenging. Therefore, we have arranged The Trail so that the prophets are connected with what is happening in the life of the people. Also, we aligned the events of Samuel-Kings with the Chronicles to help you better connect with the overall storyline.
  • Ask questions and record your insights – Along the way, you might find  powerful insights that you might want to hold on to. Take a moment to record it for the future. Also, you might discover a puzzling question or two. You do not have to find the answers immediately. Instead, write your questions in The Trail so you can refer to them when you have time for in-depth study. As always, you can share your insights and questions with your small group, or friends who are reading the Bible with you. 

The Trail invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and journey through the Bible with intention, guided by the Spirit, and enriched by reflective practices.
