Let’s be honest—most Christians don’t read their Bibles every day. In fact, recent studies show that fewer than one in five Christians opens their Bible daily. Not because they don’t love Jesus, but because life is busy, plans feel overwhelming, and guilt stacks up fast. If you’re nodding your head, you’re not alone.
We know the Bible is the living Word of God. We’ve heard it in sermons and seen it on mugs and T-shirts: “Man shall not live by bread alone…” (Matthew 4:4). But the Bible often takes a back seat to work, family, other activities, and the unexpected chaos of everyday life.
Why We’re Failing at Daily Bible Reading
The issue isn’t desire. Most Christians want to grow in their faith. The problem is structure and simplicity. Many reading plans are too rigid. Some devotionals are too deep; others are too shallow. The result? We give up.
Add in the guilt of “failing” your quiet time, and spiritual discouragement kicks in. You feel stuck, like something as foundational as reading the Bible is out of reach.
What If It Could Be Different?
That’s exactly why An Apple a Day was written. This 365-day devotional was created with one goal: to make daily Bible reading accessible, encouraging, and doable.
Each day starts with a real-life situation we all face: anxiety, impatience, self-doubt, conflict. Then it ends with a powerful piece of Scripture that speaks directly to that struggle. It’s not a Bible study, and it won’t ask you to fill in blanks or memorize chapters. It’s simply about reconnecting with God through His Word in a way that fits your real life.
And the best part? Each reading takes just two to three minutes.
