Over 1 million pledge to read the Bible online in 2019

Installed on over 355 million unique devices all over the world, the Bible App offers a free Bible experience for smartphones, tablets, and online at Bible.com

In fact, on 1st January this year, they had over 1 million Bible plan subscriptions.

That's 62 per cent more than last year.

YouVersion is the world's most downloaded Bible app.

Bobby Gruenewald, YouVersion's founder said: "We spend a lot of time thinking about how to make it easier for our community to do what they say they want to do, which is read the Bible more.

"Over the years, we've added several features focused on developing a habit of reading or listening to the Bible every day, and we're encouraged to see Bible engagement numbers continue to increase year after year."

They report that on average, the number of daily active users in January increases by approximately 20 per cent compared to the previous month. To help people keep those resolutions, YouVersion have been developing different ways to make daily Bible engagement a habit.

YouVersion suggest that being accountable to someone regarding your Bible reading will help readers keep the habit up over the year.

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
