The American Bible Challenge - A Daily Reader - Giveaway and Review



I've been a huge fan of The American Bible Challenge since it's premiere because not only is it fun, but they raise awareness of some great charities that are vying for the chance to win money to help out their causes. Yet for me, it's even more personal. It drives me back to my Bible. A chance to study in a completely new and fun way like never before and the best part of it is, that I can get my entire family involved in the process. For me, anything that makes learning fun, garners my interest and that's why I can't wait to share The American Bible Challenge - A Daily Reader by Troy Schmidt with you!

There are 9 weeks of Daily Bible Challenges backed into this wonderful hardcover book, and yes, the answers are included in the back. I found myself challenged in so many areas, knowing some things about what I remembered about things like the building of God's temple, but I missed out on the details. Something God finds important and also included in the Daily Bible Challenge. It draws you more into the Bible to understand, just why is all this stuff important anyway, and I was amazed at just how important the small details in my own life are relevant to God. He's all about the details!! Look closely at anything He has created and you can see this just all about a instant big bang. God really planned the way our lives are, and everything He has created and breathed life into.

The best part about this book is that is can be done in little over 15 minutes and still last forever. The Daily Reader makes this study more relevant in terms we can all understand, from social media, to catching the latest catch phrase to make interpeting the Bible scriptures easier for kids to understand.

For example defining why prophets were necessary back in the old days (Old Testament) asking a rabbi in Jerusalem traveling to Iran, walking into downtown Tehran, and saying, "Hey, get your act together, or God is going to destroy you." Probably not the best plan. This is what God was calling Johah to do in preaching his message of repentance to the people of Nineveh, the capital city of the Assyrian Empire, who were, at the time, oppressing the Israelites. So Jonah did what any sensible Israelite would do: he ran and caught a ship going to Tarshish, which was in exactly the opposite direction of Nineveh.

If you are truly looking for a way to make your devotions or Bible Study more fun, I would highly encourage you to pick up a copy of The American Bible Challenge - A Daily Reader by Troy Schmidt! It will take things to a whole new level and one that would make a youth study or Vacation Bible Camp more fun for everyone!

I received The American Bible Challenge - A Daily Reader by Troy Schmidt compliments of FlyBy Promotions and Thomas Nelson Publishers for my honest review and did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable one. If you're like me and are looking for fun ways to get together with your family and incorporating God's Word into it, then trust me, PICK THIS ONE UP! I rate this one a 5 out of 5 fun stars!!!

American Bible Challenge is Back for Season 2!!!

The American Bible Challenge Promo from propeller on GodTube.


That's right the game show of Biblical proportions is back and it's even better than ever!!

Starting Tuesday, March 21 on the Game Show Network or GSN, The American Bible Challenge is back once again with host Jeff Foxworthy at 9PM ET/PT. This time there have been some interesting new changes to make this show even more fun and exciting to watch. Even if you don't have access to cable, you can always find the shows episodes on the GSN page with the link provided below so you won't miss out on any of the fun.

Each week three teams battle their way through a series of questions, challenges and now tasks to win money for their charity. The categories are fun and challenging to attempt to compete with your favorite team. My family watches it faithfully and we have set it up to record, so we can pause the show to provide enough time to answer the questions. In the final round where teams are given a set amount of time to "study" the Bible for the final round, it also provides us the time to do the same.

We've actually become more knowledgeable in our own personal study of the Bible through watching this program. My youngest daughter and I challenge each other quite a bit and with this season incorporating some interesting task challenges it will take our family Bible study to a whole new level.

There is even an app you can download for your wireless device or tablet to allow you to continue your Bible Challenge no matter where you are. It definitely keeps things interesting and engaging on a whole new level. There is even Bible Study links, hosted by Max Lucado, you can take advantage of to help you in your walk through the Bible. This is definitely an added benefit to being a part of making learning fun.

But don't just take my word for it, explore the website on your own. You can even catch last seasons episodes if this is your first time joining in. It truly is geared to make you laugh, cry and become stronger in your faith and knowledge of the Bible. The charities each of the teams plays for is focused on briefly to give you an inside look at what has motivated them to work to win money for their charity. Last year there were food programs to help those in need, a family that was working to donate money for more research into their son's death, programs to help out the needy kids in the neighborhoods and more.

If your a Facebook fan, you can even join their Facebook page and join in on some of the free giveaways that they host from time to time. And if you love giveaways, make sure you join my blog, Reviews From The Heart. We're going to be giving away and incredible surprise next month and I wouldn't want you to miss out.



So don't forget, set your DVR's to Tuesday, March 21st at 9PM ET/PT for The American Bible Challenge and don't forget your Bibles!!!
