A worthy goal for the new year By December 31, 2020 Apparently fewer Americans are reading the Bible daily. A Barna study on behalf of the American Bible Society came out a few months ago (during the time of COVID-19) that showed a drop in the number of Americans who claim to read the Bible every dayfrom 14 percent to 9 percent. That seems strange since you would think that during the pandemic, when we have been forced to spend more time indoors, more of us would have found time to read the Scriptures. It should also be noted that we are talking about at least 30 million Americans who carve out time every day to read the Bible. Theres no other book that would rival that kind of readership.
