Are you aware that 90+ % of American households own at least one Bible? 

However, the staggering statistic is that only 20 percent of those who own Bibles will ever read through it completely in their lifetime. This includes regular church-going members. With these statistics in full view, it is unfortunately easy to conclude that Bible sales far outpace Bible reading!

The Essential 100 Challenge (The E100) is a fun and easy systematic approach that guides readers through the big picture of the Bible without getting bogged down and frustrated. The E100 is a carefully selected list of short Bible passages -- 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament. The passages are usually one to two chapters in length and can easily be read in 10 minutes or less.

WHAT IS THE E100 CHALLENGE?

The Essential 100 Challenge (The E100) is a Bible reading program TNB is participating in this year, built around 100 carefully selected short Bible passages — 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament. It enables participants to get the big picture of God's Word and in the process develop a daily Bible reading habit.

The E100 Bible passages are usually one to two chapters in length and can easily be read in 10 minutes or less. The E100 Challenge takes a reader through all of the major types of biblical writing including Historical books, Poetry and Wisdom Literature, the Prophets, the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles and Revelation.
