Build your Bible IQ and Christian worldview in just 15 minutes a day! Over the course of a year, Core 52 will help you master the 52 most important passages in the Bible.

“You will gain the tools you need for living the life God has called you to.” (Kyle Idleman, pastor and author of Not a Fan)

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” (1 Timothy 4:8)

Most of us want to know the Bible better, but few reach our goal, often because we’re too busy or we don’t know where to start. Core 52 removes both barriers, offering a common-sense solution that fits into our busy lives. Respected Bible professor and teaching pastor Mark E. Moore developed this proven process from 35 years of helping people grow deeper in God’s Word. Each week features a brief essay, memory verse, Bible story, trajectory verses, and practical ways to put what you’ve learned into practice. An optional “Overachiever Challenge” offers the chance to memorize the top 100 Bible verses by year’s end.

This simple approach allows you to become familiar with the big ideas of the Bible in less time and with less effort than other reading plans. In one year, you can master the core of the Bible - focusing on topics from God’s will to worry, happiness to holiness, and leadership to love. These 52 core passages are lenses through which you can read the rest of the Bible with clarity and confidence.
