America Reads the Bible runs April 18–25, 2026. The Opening Celebration is April 18, followed by seven days of live Bible readings April 19–25. President Trump will be reading Scripture, too.
And tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET, it starts with a live Opening Celebration in Washington, D.C. You can watch it all unfold through the free livestream.
Leaders from every sphere of influence will share personal testimonies of their dependence on the Bible, lead in worship and prayer, and call our nation back to God’s Word.
You’ll hear from voices like Candace Cameron Bure, Patricia Heaton, Tony Perkins, Speaker Mike Johnson and David Barton—sharing how Scripture has shaped their lives and our nation’s story.
This marks the beginning of a historic week as God’s Word is proclaimed over our nation.
Beginning tomorrow, the Bible will be read live each day from 9 a.m.–9 p.m. ET. President Trump will also be participating. Prepare your heart.
This will be wonderful.
This Is Huge!

Glad to hear it! I have definitely missed it.
It sure seems like a step back....in the right direction.
‘America Reads the Bible’ kicks off in DC as hundreds gather on red carpet for weeklong event
There has been much back and forth with Protestants and Papists on this forum.
As our 250th birthday approaches and we celebrate an INDEPENDENCE the likes of which has NEVER been achieved by any nation in history, appreciate the history that went before us.
Never take the privilege and the freedom to read the inerrant word of God with one’s own eyes and comprehend it in one’s own mind.
There is no better time than America Reads the Bible Week to REFLECT.
On October 6, 1536 William Tyndale was strangled then burned at the stake by the gubmint which was a marriage of church and state known officially as The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
His crime?
There may have been legalistic specifics but it was heresy as it was the crime expediently given to those who speak truth to power.
Tyndale is responsible for tearing down the linguistic wall the clerocracy had exploited to separate God from his people.
William Tyndale translated the Holy Bible into a commonly spoke language and is responsible for translating nearly 90 per cent of what is today the unrevised version of the King James translation of the Holy Bible.
Some could argue that his translation of the Holy Bible achieved an independence far greater than the one we will celebrate on July Fourth.
Thanks for the link!
It’s on now LIVE.
They are on Deuteronomy 5-7
