This is the Church + Acts Women's Reading Guide Bundle

This bundle includes an Acts Daily Bible Reading Plan and a This Is the Church Daily Bible Reading Plan. 

This bundle features eleven weeks of daily Bible readings that explore the story of the historic and global Church, from its beginning in the book of Acts to what Scripture says is still true of us today.

This Is the Church

A Daily Bible Reading Plan that explores what the New Testament says about the Church, along with complementary passages from the Old Testament

The reality of the gospel dictates the existence of a gospel people. The good news of Jesus’s death and resurrection is that of a new life, empowered by the Holy Spirit, as a new community in covenant with God. 

In this five-week follow-up to This Is the Gospel, you will look at what it means to be the Church and live in response to the good news as a gospel community. This study takes a look not at specific denominational structures or practices, but at the broader conversation in Scripture about the nature, purpose, mission, and function of this unique and diverse body of believers united in Christ.

This book includes:

• 8x10", Perfect Bound, 184 Pages
• 35 Days (5 Weeks) of Daily Bible Readings
• Scripture-Centric Extras
• Daily Summaries Introducing Each Day’s Reading

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope at your calling—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.
—Ephesians 4:4–6

THIS BOOK INCLUDES every passage in the This Is the Church reading plan, along with a written introduction and other helpful elements throughout, many of which are exclusive to this Daily Bible Reading Guide. 

THIS BOOK DOES NOT INCLUDE daily devotional responses, and that is by design. Our experience for over a decade of reading Scripture together has been that God's Word—not ours—is the best starting place, and the Holy Spirit is faithful to illuminate God's living and active Word as we read. For this reason, devotional responses to each day’s reading are found on SheReadsTruth.com and the She Reads Truth app. We invite you to join us there for further commentary and conversation.

Acts

A Daily Bible Reading Plan that guides you through the book of Acts

Just prior to Pentecost, Jesus told His followers that the Holy Spirit would empower them to carry His gospel throughout the world. The book of Acts follows the early Church as it fulfills Jesus’s words, in spite of outside threats and persecution. This action-packed narrative is more than a historical account. It is the story of Jewish and Gentile believers learning how to live out the gospel together in community as the family of God. 

Over six weeks, you will read all twenty-eight chapters of the book of Acts. Join the journey from Jerusalem to Rome, deepening your understanding of the Holy Spirit’s presence in the body of Christ and God’s plan of salvation for the entire world.

This book contains:

• 8x10", Perfect Bound, 196 Pages
• 42 Days (6 Weeks) of Daily Bible Readings
• Scripture-Centric Extras
• An Introduction to Key Groups, People, and Places in Acts
• Daily Reading Markers that Identify the Date and Location of Each Passage from Acts
