Join us in praying for peace in our hearts and our nation with this 7-day reading plan featuring prayers from The One Year Pray for America Bible.

Life reaches a stage where responsibility increases and days feel full. Careers grow, families depend on you, and decisions carry weight. And quietly, remembering God can move from the center to the edges. This 7-day journey helps midlife men and women pause and realign with God. Rooted in real life and Scripture, it calls us to live with purpose, not comfort. Because the world still needs us to carry God’s love forward.

Welcome to the “Field Guide” Module for the Old Testament. We want to make sure you are well prepared before you start down the path of a deeper engagement with God’s Word. This module will provide a great framework for your journey through the Old Testament as we explore the Bible’s geographical, historical, cultural and religious contexts.

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.
