Earlier this year, American Bible Society celebrated the grand opening of the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center on Philadelphia’s historic Independence Mall. The Faith and Liberty Discovery Center is a 51,000 square-foot immersive experience that will enable more than 250,000 visitors per year to discover the profound influence of the Bible in our nation.

But the center isn’t the only place to explore how the Good Book has been significant and influential in our nation’s history. Now, you can rediscover the unique role of the Bible in the American experience through six short Bible reading plans. Each of these reading plans, published by the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center, can be downloaded on YouVersion.

What will you discover?

In these reading plans, you’ll read the Bible alongside some voices from our past. You’ll learn how the Bible was instrumental in shaping our values and institutions in the past while also gaining inspiration to turn to the Bible for the challenges we face today. Here are the six reading plans:

  • Discover the Bible and Liberty in History
  • Discover the Bible and Justice in History
  • Discover the Bible and Hope in History
  • Discover the Bible and Faith in History
  • Discover the Bible and Unity in History
  • Discover the Bible and Love in History

We pray that these reading plans will help give those who engage them a better understanding of the biblical values that have guided many of our nation’s founders, changemakers, and leaders. We also pray that they will be inspired to place their faith in the truths of the Bible, allowing it to transform their lives and communities.

Let’s Pray Together

Father, thank you for your Word that has provided wisdom in the forming of our nation. We pray that the Bible will once again be a guiding Book for America. We pray that it will be the foundational text for American ideals and institutions, and that people from every walk of life will discover the Bible’s message of hope for their own lives. Father, use the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center and these six reading plans to inspire Americans to turn to the Bible. In Jesus’s name, we pray. Amen.
