The book
What is The Bible in 1 Day?
The Bible in 1 Day is a free eBook by author and Bible teacher John Heynen that summarizes all 66 books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, in plain language. Each chapter covers one Bible book and takes only a few minutes to read, so you can read the whole overview in less than five hours.
It is not a replacement for the Bible. It is a guide that shows you the big picture: what each book is about and how it fits into the one story the Bible tells. With that picture in mind, reading the Bible itself becomes easier and far more rewarding.
No theological background required. No dense commentary to wade through. Just the heart of every Bible book, made clear.

A few minutes at a time
Every chapter tells you how long it takes to read, often just two to five minutes. Made for your morning coffee, your lunch break or your evening wind-down.

About the author
John Heynen
I’m John Heynen, an author and Bible teacher from the Netherlands. As a journalist I spent more than twenty years interviewing persecuted Christians around the world. One conversation, with survivors of a church bombing, left me with a question I couldn’t shake: do we in the West really know the Jesus of the Bible?
That question became my work. I help Christians read the Bible, grasp it and live it. The Bible in 1 Day is where most people start, and more than 65,000 readers have.
More about JohnFrequently asked questions
Is The Bible in 1 Day really free?
Yes. The eBook is completely free. There is no credit card, no trial and no catch. If you prefer a printed copy, the paperback is for sale on Amazon.
Which formats do I get?
You can download the book as a PDF and as an ePub. The PDF is easiest on a computer. The ePub is made for e-readers, tablets and phones.
Can I read it on my Kindle?
Yes. The ePub file works on Kindle. BookFunnel, the service that delivers your download, shows you step by step how to send it to your device.
How long does it take to read?

Does it replace reading the Bible?
No. It is a companion, not a substitute. The summaries give you the context and the big picture, so that the Bible itself makes more sense when you open it. As one reader put it: it is written so that you will still read the Bible.
