The little brown book going around Facebook

You’ve probably seen people asking about it in the comments.This is the book.

If you clicked over from a post about a goat in the desert, a snake on a pole, or a hand writing on a wall, this is the little deep-brown hardcover that story came from. It’s called The Weekend Bible, and over 32,000 copies have been ordered, mostly handed from one friend to the next.

One page for every book of the Bible, in order, Genesis to Revelation. In plain words, each page tells you who wrote that book and when, what was happening in the world, who’s in it, what happens, and how it points to Jesus. Four minutes a page. You read the page, then you read the book.

Saturday morning: Genesis through Esther
Saturday afternoon: Job through Malachi
Sunday: the New Testament
The whole thing as an audiobook, free, about three hours

1.It was never you.Nobody ever handed you the string.

You were handed a memory verse on an index card in Sunday school. A verse on the church bulletin. A verse on a coffee mug. A verse of the day on your phone.

The story got left in the seminaries. So you got the beads, never the string. And when the Bible-in-a-year plan hit Leviticus in February, you quietly closed it and felt like a failure.

This isn’t a shortened Bible. It doesn’t replace yours. It’s the string your Bible was always meant to hang on.

One page before every book, about four minutes
Big print, easy on tired eyes
No schedule to fall behind on, no homework

2.Every page endsin the same place.

The goat they sent into the wilderness in Leviticus. The blood on the doorposts in Exodus. The snake on the pole in Numbers. The boy who carried the wood up the mountain in Genesis.

Most of us read about every one of them for years and never saw it. Every one of them points to a Friday, a long time later, just outside the walls of Jerusalem.

That’s what each page shows you. Not more rules. Who the story was about the whole time.

Press play and hear part of the Genesis page read aloud. That’s four minutes, and you know what you’re walking into before you open the book.

3.And then,you get to hand it down.

Deuteronomy says to teach God’s words “diligently unto thy children.” But you can’t hand down what you were never handed.

The next time a grandchild asks what the Bible is really about, you won’t have to change the subject. You’ll open it and show them.

That’s what the 2-pack is for. One for you, and one for the grandchild you’ve been praying for. Researchers found that more than a third of Christians say a grandparent, usually a grandmother, is part of why they believe. No book can change a heart. That is God’s work. But it is not too late to hand them the story.

Free US shipping, tracked from the day it ships

Every book of the Bible receives its own page, in order from Genesis to Revelation. Each page answers the same four questions: who wrote it and when, what it is about, how it points to Jesus, and who is in it. It is a guide to Scripture, not a shortened Bible, so your own Bible stays at the center. It is a real, printed hardcover in deep brown, with large, high-contrast type, built to heirloom quality so it can sit beside your Bible for years and one day be handed down.

You pay once, with no subscription and nothing that renews. If it does not make Scripture clearer within 60 days, email us and we refund you in full. Nothing to send back.

Finally, a Bible reference book I actually use

I have wanted to read the Bible more consistently for years, but I would get lost whenever I came across a book I did not know much about. This makes it much easier to understand what I am reading. I can read the one-page overview first, then go straight into the book itself without stopping to look everything up. I have been keeping it next to my Bible and using it several times a week.

Straight answers

Questions people ask before they buy.

If your question is not here, email teamplainword@gmail.com and a person will answer it.

It was written for any Christian. It stays with what nearly every church shares: who wrote each book, when, what it is about, and how it points to Jesus. It does not take sides on the questions churches disagree about, so it sits just as comfortably beside a Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal or nondenominational Bible.

No. The Weekend Bible is not Scripture and does not shorten it. It is a guide: one page about each of the 66 books, read before you open that book in your own Bible. Your Bible stays whole, and it stays at the center.

You can understand what every book is about, who wrote it, when, and why it matters. Each page takes about four minutes, so all 66 take around four and a half hours: a Saturday and a Sunday. Reading the books themselves takes longer, and that is the point. After one weekend, you will know exactly what you are opening.

No. It sits beside it. Read its page on Jeremiah, then open Jeremiah, and you know what you are walking into before the first verse. You do not need a new Bible, and nothing about the one you have needs replacing.

Yes. The KJV, NKJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, CSB and NASB all contain the same 66 books in the same order, and so does nearly every Bible on a Protestant shelf. Catholic and Orthodox Bibles contain those same 66 books plus a few extra, which this guide does not cover.

It was written for exactly that. Every page starts from zero, with no vocabulary to look up and nothing it expects you to know already. If you have owned a Bible for years and quietly stopped opening it, you are who it was made for.

Yes. It is set in large, high-contrast type with wide margins, not the small footnote print of a study Bible, so you can read it comfortably without reaching for a magnifier.

No. You pay once, for the book, and that is the end of it. Nothing renews and nothing is added at checkout that bills you next month.

Then it should not cost you anything. Email us within 60 days and we refund the price of the book. There is nothing to send back.

It suits a baptism, a new believer, a graduation, a grandchild who would never open a 1,400-page Bible but will read one page, or anyone who has always meant to read the Bible properly. It is a bound book, not a workbook, so it holds up on a shelf for years, and one day it can be handed down.

Yes. Because everyone reads the same one page before the same book, it works well for a small group, a men’s or women’s Bible study, or a new believers class. A group can even work through all 66 books together on a weekend retreat. If you are buying several copies, email us before you order and ask about group pricing.

Shipping is free within the US and most orders arrive in 7 to 12 business days, with tracking from the day it leaves. If it turns up damaged, send us a photo and we will send another.
