How Manna works

A daily Bible reading habit in four steps. The whole system is built around one rule: today's reading, and only today's reading.

  1. Choose a Bible reading plan

    One Year Bible, One Year Chronological, or 30-day plans through Psalms and Proverbs. Pick the plan that fits the season you're in.

  2. Read today's passage

    Manna shows one allocated reading per day in NLT, NIV, KJV, or ESV. No endless scrolling — just today's Scripture in a clean, distraction-free reader.

  3. Mark it complete

    Finish your reading, take a moment to pray and reflect, and tomorrow's passage unlocks. You can't rush ahead, and you can't fall behind without noticing.

  4. Come back tomorrow

    A daily reminder and the Manna Health widget on your home screen keep your reading habit alive — one day at a time, all the way through the Bible.

Questions about Bible reading plans

Quick answers here — each one links to a full guide if you want to go deeper.

What is a Bible reading plan?

A Bible reading plan is a structured schedule that breaks the Bible into manageable daily readings, so you never have to wonder what to read next. Manna delivers one allocated passage per day from your chosen plan — complete it, and tomorrow's reading unlocks.

How do I read the Bible in a year?

Reading 3–4 chapters a day (about 15–20 minutes) takes you through all 66 books in 365 days. The hard part isn't the reading — it's not quitting in February. Manna's One Year plan gives you each day's passage automatically and keeps you accountable with streaks and its health widget.

What is a chronological Bible reading plan?

A chronological plan rearranges the Bible into the order events actually happened — Job alongside Genesis, the Psalms woven into David's life, the prophets inside Kings. Manna includes a One Year Chronological plan that handles the ordering for you.

What's the best Bible reading plan for beginners?

Start small and finish something: a 30-day plan through Psalms or Proverbs builds the daily habit before you attempt the whole Bible. Manna's beginner-friendly plans give you one short passage a day so you win early and often.

How do I make Bible reading a daily habit?

Anchor it to an existing routine, keep each reading short, and track the habit visibly. Manna is built around exactly this: one passage a day, a reminder at your chosen time, and a home-screen widget whose little bread mascot stays healthy only if you keep reading.

How is Manna different from other Bible apps?

Most Bible apps are libraries — thousands of plans, feeds, and features. Manna is a habit app: it only shows today's reading from your plan. No skipping ahead, no falling behind unnoticed, no distractions. Think Duolingo, but for Bible reading.

What Bible translations does Manna have?

Manna supports the New Living Translation (NLT), New International Version (NIV), King James Version (KJV), and English Standard Version (ESV), with more translations on the way. You can switch translations any time inside the reader.

Where should I start reading the Bible?

Most new readers do best starting with the Gospel of John for the life of Jesus, or Genesis for the beginning of the story — not Genesis-to-Revelation cover to cover. A structured plan removes the guesswork entirely by assigning each day's passage.

Is Manna free?

Manna is free to download with a 1-week free trial, then a subscription unlocks all reading plans and features. Manna is built by an indie Christian developer and tithes 10% of profits back into the Church.
