Do you love to read? Do you want to learn to love to read? Do you enjoy reading books that cross the whole spectrum of topics and genres? Then I’ve coordinated with Visual Theology to create something that may be right up your alley—the 2025 Christian Reading Challenge.
Whether you are a light reader or completely obsessed, this 2025 Christian Reading Challenge is designed to help you read more and broaden the scope of your reading.
How It Works
Those who have participated in a challenge from past years will notice some differences. This year there are 6 gradations instead of the usual 4 which means the total challenge spans from 13 books through the year all the way to 156. So whether you’re a light leader or completely legendary, there is something there for you. The basic idea is that you begin at the top of the poster and work your way down. But, of course, you’re free to freestyle as you see fit.
Also new this year are stickers for those who want to track their progress a little bit more.
Ideas
- Have fun with it!
- Take the challenge with your spouse and divide the list in two.
- Take the challenge with your family and divide the books between the entire family
- Take the challenge with your youth group or small group and divide the books between all of you. Regularly report on your progress with short reviews.
- Set your goal and read the books from all of your lists in any order (rather than progressing from Light to Avid to Committed).
- Discard all the rules and choose books from any plan in any order. Use the 2025 Christian Reading Challenge as a guide to diversifying your reading.
Get Started
The 2025 Christian Reading Challenge is available from Visual Theology and you can download it for free. Alternatively, you can purchase it as a professionally printed poster or an HD file that you can print at home or take to a local printer. Either way, happy reading!
