A Bible built for the age of distraction
The Lectio Bible was created to help you read the Bible differently – slowly, prayerfully, and attuned to the Spirit’s voice.
Enjoy focused moments with Jesus
Chapters, verses and subheadings are gone, and footnotes are moved to the end of each book, so you can read quietly and calmly before Jesus.
Move with Scripture’s rhythms
The uninterrupted design encourages you to read through to natural literary seams, promoting deeper understanding of key biblical themes.
Read in ancient ways
Read as part of a contemplative practice like Lectio Divina, or experience Scripture as it was originally shared—out loud, in community, as a Story.
The Lectio approach to Scripture
The early disciples of Jesus coined the phrase Lectio Divina, Latin for “spiritual reading”, to describe a way of reading for formation, not just information. And The Lectio Bible is designed to help do just that.
Sit at the feet of Jesus through Scripture
If we read Scripture the way we read everything else – impatient, hurried, and analytical – we may find it dry and tedious. Scripture becomes just one more task on our religious to-do list, and we miss the experience of sitting at Jesus’ feet.
But if we come at it in a different way – with hearts slowed down, open to Jesus, and aimed at surrender – Scripture can become a dynamic channel to God.
