I will add my name to The E100 Wall to symbolize my desire to take The E100 Challenge at: www.E100Challenge.com The Essential Bible Guide is your companion for The E100 Challenge. It takes you through the 100 Old and New Testament passages — so you’ll see how all the major Bible themes fit together. Written in a warm & engaging style, it provides life-related explanation for all 100 passages: plus application questions, prayer help and more. Also available for small groups and Sunday School classes is The E100 Discussion Guide. A perfect addition for groups who are taking The E100 together. The Discussion Guide contains relevant questions for each passage. PRAY: before you read, asking God to help you understand. READ: the Bible passage for the day, perhaps more than once. REFLECT: on the passage. Write your thoughts in a journal. APPLY: what God teaches you from His Word to your life. PRAY: again, asking God to help you live out His Word. SCRIPTURE UNION’S BIBLE READING METHOD THE E100 CHALLENGE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: At Scripture Union, we want to help you meet God every day in the Bible and prayer. That’s why we have developed several follow-on resources for developing a daily habit of Bible reading. For more resources go to: www.TheE100Challenge.com
