Why it works for a group

Grace & Peace is built for groups. Its 365 daily readings give a class, a small group, or an entire congregation a shared rhythm — everyone in the same passages, day by day, across the whole arc of Scripture, Genesis through Revelation. Each day pairs a short reading with a plainspoken reflection and a hymn.

Grounded in serious theology yet written in warm, everyday language, it invites honest conversation without requiring a seminary degree, and its ecumenical spirit makes it a natural fit for diverse congregations. Whether your people gather weekly to talk through the readings or you simply want to place a steadying daily companion in every member’s hands, Grace & Peace turns a personal practice into a shared journey.

About the length

At 858 pages, Grace & Peace isn’t meant to be read all at once. It’s a couple of pages a day — and by the end of a year, those couple of pages take a reader not only through the whole book but through the whole arc of Scripture, Genesis to Revelation. Your group can start any day you like. There is nothing to catch up on.
