This one-year daily dose from God’s one and only Book is not an in-depth Bible study. It shouldn’t replace your small group or Bible class involvement. Yet, there is a very different approach in this Apple a Day reading. It does not approach you with Scripture to study and then apply it to your life. Instead, each Apple a Day reading begins with real-life challenges we all face and ends with a powerful and relevant Scripture passage. Your struggles are important to God, because you are the “apple of His eye”—very precious!

Why take the Apple a Day Challenge?

The Bible says you are the “apple of His eye.” It refers to the “pupil” of the eye, which is most precious. You are precious to God! That is the way God “sees” you. It is why He sent Jesus to die for you.

The Apple a Day Challenge is a unique approach to spiritual growth. There are many great Bible studies available. Most start with a verse from Scripture. Some add a practical application portion at the end by providing content or questions for thought or discussion. An Apple a Day is organized opposite of that approach. It provides a daily reflection about the challenges of life.

The Apple a Day Challenge is to multiply impact. It reflects that disciples of Jesus make disciples of Jesus. It is not a program, but a movement. This approach invites you to encourage everyone in your church, small group, and social network to take the Apple a Day Challenge.

Invite everyone you know to join you in the one-year Apple a Day Challenge! Announce it in church. Email or text your friends. Post it on your website. Share it on social media. Put the solution to growing faith in the hands of everyone you know—give the book to family, friends, and coworkers. Move the movement. When you do, God gives you the power to change the nation and the world, one person at a time.

There is nothing more important than getting Christians into God’s Word.
