The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the sixteenth part "The Travels of Paul." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

Read in this 5-day devotional about a man called Festus, who called Paul mad when he was confronted with the truth. Learn about how truth hurts as well as heals and find out how truth can set you free.

Paul has been languishing in prison for two years, falsely charged with crimes he didn’t commit. But this bondage did not bring bitterness; it brought renewed purpose. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey into what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

The message of the gospel contains such power in it that becomes an unstoppable force. Join the apostle Paul in his last days as he “fights the good fight, ” “keeps the faith,” and “finishes the race.” The struggles and opposition he faced are no different from the ones we encounter today. Learn from him and be inspired to bring transformation fighting the good fight.
