This Pastor Declared War on Biblical Ignorance—and Millions Joined Him

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – The movement is spreading. Fast.

August 2025 — Nearly eight million people have watched Benjamin Windle’s How to Read the Bible videos on the YouVersion Bible app. Now, the pastor behind the viral movement is releasing the full book—How to Read & Study the Bible for Yourself—and churches across the nation are taking notice.

What began as a digital Bible study series has turned into a growing nationwide campaign called Bible Revival, designed to help people rediscover Scripture in a way that is simple, powerful, and deeply personal. Windle’s mission is clear: to reverse biblical illiteracy and help people move from passive church attendance to vibrant, self-fed spiritual growth.

The book is the foundation for a 30-day campaign that is already spreading through churches, schools, businesses, and nonprofits across the United States. Built around a simple idea—what if everyone in a community learned how to confidently read the Bible for themselves? The campaign is seeing early signs of revival and long-term impact.

“This isn’t about information. It’s about formation,” says Windle. “People are hungry for truth, for clarity, for hope. The Bible has all of that—but we need to show a new generation how to open it for themselves.”

What’s fueling the Bible Revival?

• Nearly 8 million views on Windle’s How to Read the Bible teaching series on the YouVersion Bible app
• A beautifully written and accessible new book designed for the Netflix generation
• A full 30-day church-wide campaign kit, including sermons, small group guides, and Bible reading plans
• Reported increases of up to 23% in church attendance and engagement during the campaign
• Built to work across churches, Christian schools, families, and businesses

Windle’s background as a pastor, researcher, and generational communicator gives the project a unique edge. The book doesn’t assume theological training—it’s built for everyday people, especially younger generations who feel disconnected from faith or unsure how to approach Scripture. It breaks down the Bible in a way that is practical, clear, and transformational.

How to Read & Study the Bible for Yourself isn’t just another Christian resource—it’s becoming the playbook for a new kind of reformation, one that starts not on a stage, but in the pages of a book.

The book is now available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F6RTW54F
