All too often during Lent, the focus pinpoints what people give up. Sugar. Twitter. Netflix.
But what if this year you focused on what you’re laying hold of?
The 40 days preceding Easter can be some of the most life-giving, perspective-changing, hope-filled days of the entire year—not just for me, but for you.
Four years ago, we read the entire Bible during Lent. The following year we read the entire New Testament, then the Gospels, then Luke-Acts. Hundreds of thousands from around the world have joined us in reawakening to God through focused Bible reading, study, and reflection.
After much prayer, I’m inviting YOU to join me in reading one of the most beloved books of the Bible: The Gospel of John.
I believe in the six-ish weeks of Lent that God wants to speak to you and I through Scripture.
But maybe, like me, you’re looking for something thicker, more long-lasting where you can underline, circle, star, add exclamation marks and take notes.
I’m excited to announce I’m organizing the Lent readings into a printed booklet, Beloved: 40-Days in the Gospel of John.
This workbook contains the whole text of the Gospel of John in various translations so you can read, color, and doodle along the way. There will also be coloring page borders to each page to help you reflect and color your way through the Scripture.
This will be an extremely limited edition. You can secure your pre-order copy today.
You’ll have it before the kick off of Lent on March 1.
And, for my International friends, you can download the PDF eBook of Beloved, here.
Even if you can’t commit to read through the Gospel of John, will you commit to dive into one book of the Bible or study an Epistle, or just read the red words of Christ this Lent?
Let’s not miss our moment to grow closer to Jesus this spring.

I can not wait. Your study of John is one of my absolute favorites that I’ve EVER done – I’m looking forward to revisiting this gospel! HUGS! xoxo
Woohoo! I, too, love studying John! Hugs!
I wanted to order the books for this study but unfortunately with the cost of shipping to Canada I could not afford it. I also tried to download the free study guide to follow it but the link did not work.
Oh no! You should have received an updated link!
I am in the same boat, from Canada. Hopefully I can follow this on my i-pad
Looking forward to this journey! xoxox

Will the workbook be available via any other outlets (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc)?
Not at this time. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to Lent, though!
I ordered directly from you. Looking forward to it!
Love reading the Bible. Your app. Is very easy.
Thank you, Noretta!
I find it very sad that the shipping charges to Canada are double the cost of the book. It’s unaffordable & very disappointing. I was interested in following the journal for Lent, so I will have to look for another, but I think your blog & books are excellent. Are they available in bookstores in Canada? Blessings, mk
Shipping costs to Canada is very frustrating! I wish I could change that! You may be able to find my other books at a local book store. Stay tuned for more on the John study the closer we get to Lent! Hugs!

Are these booklets going to be bound like the coloring books? I want to ask some friends to join me, but need more details to share with them.
Yes! Just like the other coloring books. Thanks for asking!
Will your plan be available in the Bible app?
Hi! I preordered the John study for Lent and was just wondering when it will arrive? I ordered it about 2 weeks ago. Looking forward to it.
Thank you!
So excited that you will join us as we read through John! The books will ship shortly! We’ve been anxiously waiting for them to arrive from the printer!
Will the reading plan be available in youversion Bible app like it has past years?
