WELCOME TO LIFEWAY’S SUMMER R.E.A.D. PROGRAM

Reveal. Explore. Amaze. Discover.

We’re so glad to have you join us on our Summer Reading Quest with Bibleman. Along the way, you’ll explore God’s Word through stories, Scripture, and important missions. When you’ve completed all six missions, you’ll receive a free book plus your choice of a Bible or a devotional (see page 17).

First, choose six books to bring with you on your quest—one for each mission. If you need help choosing, check out our recommended books on page 3. This journal will serve as a record of your victories, and you’ll need it to receive your prize. Be sure to pack your Bible, a pen or pencil, and Crayons or colored pencils.
