Fall in Love
with the Word

Rediscover the wonder & mystery of God's Word that makes reading it irresistible—and finishing it inevitable.

A Message from JPJ

One Morning I had a
Coffee with Jesus.

On September 1st, 2022, I met the reality of King Jesus. That morning, my relationship with the Bible changed forever—it stopped being a chore and became an epic narrative I just couldn't put down. Now, I'm inviting you to join me. And let's reclaim our childlike wonder together.

Coffee with Jesus isn't about "checking a religious box" or a dry academic study. It's about experiencing the Word through a blend of the latest in biblical scholarship and personal experiences. My goal is to make the Word fresh, fun, and interactive for you—so that reading it again and again becomes natural.

Only 3% of Christians ever read the Bible cover-to-cover. And when you do, I'll send you a certificate to celebrate. Are you ready to fall in love with the Word?

Coffee with Jesus

You started in Genesis. You stumbled in Leviticus.

Every January, millions of Christians open to Genesis 1 with the best of intentions. By mid-February, they've hit Leviticus — and somewhere between the grain offerings and the regulations on mildew, the reading plan quietly disappears off the fridge.

It's not a discipline problem. It's a context problem. Without the ancient world that shaped these words, without the divine mystery woven through every page, even the most devoted reader can feel like they're reading a foreign language.

What if this was the year you actually finished — and loved every page of it?

Step 01

Read it like you never have before.

Three brand-new Bible versions built to restore the wonder — the ancient Near East colour, the divine mystery, and the childlike joy that Jesus said opens the Kingdom.

  • F.O.G

    Ultra-literal. Every Hebrew idiom, divine title, and Ancient Near East layer — nothing smoothed over.

  • Reader's

    The whole narrative sweep, paragraph by paragraph — the way you'd read a letter from a friend.

  • F.O.G Jr.

    For anyone who wants to meet the Word with fresh eyes. Because Jesus said “such as these” inherit the Kingdom.

Step 02

Make it your favourite part of the day.

Coffee with Jesus turns Scripture into a living experience. Sit with a passage that finds you. Let it breathe. Then test how deeply it has taken root.

Over 1,200 quizzes, Bible crosswords, and the interlinear lexicon — so you can chase a word all the way back to its Hebrew or Greek root and feel the weight of it.

Daily. Unhurried. Reverent. Like a cup of coffee that never goes cold.

Step 03

Go the distance — together.

The Cover-to-Cover Bible Challenge tracks every one of the 1,189 chapters across six reading tracks simultaneously. Mark chapters complete, earn XP, advance through ranks — from Talmid to Elder — and never lose your place.

Invite friends. Keep it private or make it a friendly competition. Either way, the leaderboard has a way of turning a quiet Tuesday into a reason to open the Word.

No pressure. No shame. Just the daily rhythm of a life shaped by Scripture.

The 3% Club

When you finish, you join an elite club.

Only about 3% of Christians ever read the Bible cover-to-cover. When you reach the final chapter of Revelation, you will receive your official Certificate of Completion — because finishing the whole story of Yahweh deserves to be marked. And the second time feels even better than the first.

Expected Completion

Paul’s Handkerchief is Bible study with a difference. Going Word-by-Word through Scripture we are reclaiming the Ancient Near East context & mystery of our modern Bibles. This website is a Bible Study platform for those who want to fall in love with the Word. And grow in their faith through consistent, daily engagement with Scripture.

A veritable treasure trove awaits you. Rediscover every book, chapter and verse of the Bible with passionate prose overviews. Challenge friends from a selection of over 1,200 Bible Quizzes and Crosswords, and enjoy regularly added explainer videos on the Bible. This expanding collection of Biblical scholarship is anchored by the F.O.G Lexicon, Commentaries and the F.O.G Bibles which include the delightful F.O.G Junior. Together they reveal both the deeper meaning of Scripture, and some of its forgotten treasures.

The core of it all is simply having a coffee with Jesus whilst making your way through the cover-to-cover Bible Reading Challenge. As you take part and mark chapters as complete, you earn experience points (XP), advance through ranks, and ultimately earn your certificate of completion. Along the way, you can challenge friends to quizzes and crosswords, journal your reflections and share and be encouraged by friends.

Absolutely! The heart of the challenge is the rhythm of the Word, not the screen. Many of our members read from their physical Bibles and simply use the app to mark chapters as complete at the end of their reading session to track their progress and earn their certificates.

Yes! Once you have read every one of the 1,189 chapters of the Bible at least once across all six tracks, you earn your official Certificate of Completion. This certificate tracks how many times you've completed the full journey.

Simply create an account and begin reading from one of the six tracks. Choose your starting point and read at your own pace. The app will track your progress and help keep you accountable to the rhythm of daily Scripture engagement.

No credit card. No commitment. Just the Word.
