"This website has been an amazing help in my every day scripture study. I have referred it to many friends who I know are in need of the same assistance as I do. They are equally grateful for the opportunity to have this service. Keep up the good work and thank you for touching our lives!"
Weston Marsh - January 21, 2008
"I just have to tell you how much I love this website. I can't tell you how many times I've started a reading schedule and not made it all the way to the end. I made a new year's resolution to read the scriptures daily and then some girls in my ward set a challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 30 days. They found this site and now we're a team, reading together. This website has made setting a schedule and reading so much easier for me. And I find myself delving deeper into them than I ever have. And I have an added sense of accomplishment for doing what I set out to do because I can see the progress right there in front of me and know exactly what I need to do to make progress. It's eliminated discouragement and it feels empowering to have this. It seems like the smallest thing and yet has had such major benefits. And of course, the journal and notes feature just enhance the whole experience. I don't use the audio feature because I really enjoy reading. But, one day while I was reading my little ones were arguing with each other. I only had a chapter more to read and really wanted to finish it. So, i turned on the audio and they listened to the whole chapter with me. Not only, was I able to finish but, I know it helped make a nice spirit come into our house. Anyway, I couldn't go without telling you how much I appreciate all your work. This has been the most helpful thing for me and I have never felt so "addicted" to the scriptures as I do now. What a great work you are doing. Have a wonderful New Year!"
Marea - January 4, 2008
"Just wanted to let you know that I am in LOVE with this website! I emailed the invite to everyone in my address book (something I have never done). My goal was to read the Book of Mormon this year, but I was very discouraged because I always seem to fall short of my goals around March. I was looking online to find a reading schedule and stumbled across your site. This has made my scripture reading easy and convenient. It is so appreciated...Thank You!"
Angela Garmendia - January 3, 2008
"Just want you to know how much I appreciate this service. Despite being VERY behind, I still need to be reminded of that fact because I need the discipline. I have recommended your site to others who now enjoy this service. I lead such a manic life, doing two jobs, calling, running home etc (like many sisters) that reading the scriptures using this site is far better than not reading the scriptures at all....do I miss the book in my hand? Yes, of course, but that is not enough to discipline me!!! I can't thank you enough. I would encourage everyone to use this first class site for which I am very grateful!"
Jackie Beves - October 20, 2007
"I have just completed reading the BOM with your website. It has been a blessing for me to read daily with ease. I thank God daily for your web site. I have painful arthritis in my hands and wrists. Painless to scroll as I read online, rather than holding heavy quad scriptures....Thank you so much."
Cherie Ferguson - October 20, 2007
"Thank you for this site. I am on my fourth time through the Book of Mormon. I read the New Testament cover to cover for the first time in my life. I have also read the D&C, PofGP cover to cover with the help of this site. I always use the audio feature and read along with the narrator. I am now reading the OT for the first time right through. I am very grateful for the help that comes to my email each morning. It is the best thing that has happened to me this years. I started reading on Jan. 23 and haven't stopped. Thanks!"
Ann Harris - September 25, 2007
"Thank you so much for this site. By reading on line I don't have to remember if I have read today or not. I can just check my email and know right where I stand with my reading. I usually read in the mornings and that frees me up to read the other standard works and church books in the evenings without feeling guilty that I should be reading the BOM."
Kira Rickabaugh - September 24, 2007
"Thank you for this site. It is very helpful with reminding and encouraging me to read daily. I really appreciate the service!"
Lori Lewis - September 24, 2007
"I love this! It has been an amazing tool for my friends and family. We are all reading the Book of Mormon together and it is so inspiring to watch everyone progress. I am thankful for this website!"
Tammy Sirmans - September 24, 2007
"I just wanted to thank you so much for this wonderful site, I can't believe the difference of reading with the audio and how much more interesting the whole reading is. At times when I read before my mind would wander now that doesn't happen at all. Getting an e-mail every day makes me more accountable and excite to read the assignment for that day."
Jeana Asay - September 21, 2007
"I am 73 and find this a good way to follow scripture reading...arthritis makes holding the Bible etc., difficult...especially the Book of Mormon combination! Thanks."
Enid Scholes (England) - September 15, 2007
"I love this website!"
Elise - August 19, 2007
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the best concept for helping me keep up with my reading that I have seen in a long time! I gain so much more from reading and listening to audio at the same time. I appreciate the great effort that has been made to make this available. I will surely pass it along!"
Suzanne Chesney, Stillwater, Oklahoma - July 23, 2007
"I am enjoying this opportunity to read my scriptures online more than I can say. I especially like the feature of being able to journal thoughts as I read. It has been my most successful attempt at journaling in a very long time. I really, really am enjoying it. Thanks"
Christine - July 1, 2007
"Thank you for providing such an awesome system to get scripture reading schedules going for people who want one, as well as the option to write a journal entry or notes. It is great!"
Jenna - July 1, 2007
"Thanks for your wonderful site. It's something I have been looking for."
Dalen Edington - June 28, 2007
"Thank you! I love this site and I hope it helps me to feast. Thanks for your help!"
Jo - June 6, 2007
"WOW!!! This is great. While accompanying my husband hometeaching last night a friend told us about your website, so I checked it out. This, I can tell, will motivate me to continually read the scriptures. I just started today, so I can't wait to receive my first email with my second reading assignment tomorrow. Thank you for your sharing of this technology. Isn't the Internet and email wonderful, if used properly, of course. Again - thanks."
Pam - May 21, 2007
"I feel blessed that I received this website today. I started a new job and I am unable to attend church. I do not like it but there is nothing I can do. I try to listen to a conference speech every Sunday. I feel that this is an answer to my prayers. Thank you."
Pamela Moreno, Family History Consultant, Rock Island Ward, East Moline, Illinois - May 19, 2007
"What a exciting program!! This type of thing is so needed in our society today and I am so thankful for the wonders of electronics when it comes to this type of idea. I will be telling my friends, members and non-members alike."
Duke - May 18, 2007
"Awesome story, Thank you so much for putting this together! My wife and I are so busy but this keeps us on the same pace so we can talk about what we've read! Thanks for the many hours and work you've put into this. It's very easy to setup and the service is very user friendly. Keep up the good work!"
Eric Brown - May 14, 2007
"Thanks for this website, It has helped me to accomplish my goal of reading my scriptures, writing my journal and keep conected with people with the same goals. Thanks again."
Yolanda - April 21, 2007
"I cannot begin to thank you enough for this wonderful site! I had a horrible track record for scripture reading. This site has motivated me to read everyday! I am even a few days ahead of schedule and am feeling the desire, the hunger to be fed the scriptures on a daily basis. When nothing else seemed to work, READTHESCRIPTURES.com came through like a lifesaver. Thank you for your foresight in creating this site!"
Jean M. Allen - April 20, 2007
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, for an outstanding system that helps me stay on top of my scripture reading. I feel that you are using the internet for the very purposes in which the Lord intended."
Lance Cox - April 17, 2007
"May the Lord's greatest blessings be yours for implimenting this program. It has changed the scripture reading of our entire family iin the personal time dept. You are very special to us. Thanks again!!"
Debi Poulsen - April 15, 2007
"This Read The Scriptures program is a Godsend and inspired. It has made all the difference in my life. You don't know me, you likely never will, but you are influencing me every day. I was a student of the scriptures for decades, but now with this method, and my endless note-taking in the format you provided with icons at the verse, it has opened my mind in an entirely new way. How can I ever thank you? And I've sent this opportunity on to others, and as well, the women in our ward are using it in increasing numbers. My grown children are using it. Thank you both!"
Laurie Johnson - April 11, 2007
"This program is the best program I have seen to help me read the scriptures. It is so convenient. When I can't sleep or have free time, it is so easy to just log in to my scriptures. Sometimes I listen to the audio and sometimes I just read the words. Either way, it is so great! Thank you so much for putting this together. I had a goal to finish the Book of Mormon before conference, with this program I achieved that goal, now I have a goal of reading all of the standard works by the end of the year. I am well on my way. Thank you again for providing this service."
Verna - April 5, 2007
"I LOVE this website! After I found it, I shared it with everybody I know, and a few have already told me how much they love it. What an inspired service this is! It's seriously the answer to my guilty conscience ;) As a mother of 3 pre-schoolers, I have VERY limited time to myself, but somehow I always check my email (go figure). Thank-you, again, for this wonderful service. I feel like I'm FINALLY following the prophet ... without even having to think about it or feel guilty because I just DO it! ... Oh, and that includes the Journal option!"
Tanya - March 11, 2007
"I found your website yesterday on LDS living and signed up immediately. This will help me with my goal tremendously and I'm sure that more people will read it instead of it just collecting dust in their library. May the Lord bless you both for "opening your mouth" and sharing this program with the world."
Christine - March 11, 2007
"I cannot thank you enough for this site and program. It is the greatest scripture reading helper I could imagine. The most positive statement that I can make is that IT WORKS! for me! Bless you!"
Ruth Stiver - February 27, 2007
"I just found out about your website and I love it! I am always looking for a novel way to help me with my daily scripture reading. I just started the Book of Mormon again. THANK YOU! I just emailed my children to tell them about it, too. I am going to spread the word in my Relief Society also."
Bonnie Myers - February 26, 2007
"I am so grateful that I happened to spot mention of your website in a magazine about a month ago. It seems almost too good to be true---to have a personal service like this with no charge. I've been receiving my readings for almost a month now and so far haven't missed a day's reading. My scriptures are always nearby for reference when there's a question about a word or phrase, but reading the clear, well-spaced type from your site makes it much easier for these "old" eyes. I've shared with friends and family my experience, and I know that at least a few of them are enjoying your service. Thank you!"
Judy Wright - February 26, 2007
"Thank you for this great service. It has been a great blessing to me to keep me motivated in reading the scriptures!"
Brian Smith - February 24, 2007
"I just signed up today (2/24/2007) and have completed the first of my scheduled reading (I actually read and listened simultaneously). I'll stand at the head of the line to testify that all the wonderful technology we've been given is for this purpose: to receive communication from our Father in Heaven through you blessed people inspired to develop and introduce things like this. I believe sincerely that all we've been given is for a Celestial purpose, even though most of the new "inventions," if not all in some cases, have been polluted and misdirected to the side of evil. This program is a tremendous weapon against being smothered by the world's interpretation of how the new technology is to be used. Thank you for being "in tune" with the Spirit's promptings."
Leonard Browne, Eugene, Oregon - February 24, 2007
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm so glad that you have developed this webpage! It is exactly what i need! With small children around the house I was always loing my spot where i stopped reading. now when i check my email i can start off the day with my scripture reading, and know that i'm actually progressing, and not reading the same 4 chapters over and over. It also helps me to discuss the scriptures with my family members in different states. Any how, Thank you so much, this is an invaluble resource!!"
Kelly Hull - February 24, 2007
"Just wanted to thank you so much for this service! It is motivating to be able to have it before me each morning as I begin my day. I usually read from the scriptures themselves and just track on the computer but if there's a harried day, they are still available to me. It's been great!!"
Linda Deam - February 24, 2007
"THANK YOU, for this wonderful service. I am on the computer every morning before I got to work, So now I can make use of this time much more valuable. Thank you most of all for sharing your time and talents with so many and making such a difference in so many lives, the greatest thing you could have shared."
JoAnna Dinning - February 20, 2007
"I am enjoying your service and have recommended it to others. Thank you!"
Lori - January 27, 2007
"I have invited my daughters to join me in reading the Book of Mormon in 90 days; I have invited my Relief Society sisters to join me in reading our Gospel Doctrine assignments; and I have invited a nonmember friend to join me in reading what ever scripture(s) she would like to read. What a great way to not only enjoy the scriptures but enjoy them with someone we love that might not be in the same room with us. Thank you so much for this missionary opportunity while growing spiritually too."
Bev - January 24, 2007
"Thanks to LDS Living Magazine, I found out about your site. I wanted to express my appreciation for providing such a site for people like me who get so busy sometimes they forget to sharpen the saw. This is wonderful and I plan on telling as many as I can about it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Terri Anderson - January 21, 2007
"I just want to let you both know that I really appreciate the time and effort you have put into the ReadTheScriptures web e-mail system. I recently returned from a mission and found that studying the scriptures on a daily basis was no longer an easy task, especially with a demanding school and work schedule. I remember praying to God that he would provide a way for me to be able to keep His commandment to read the scriptures. The idea clearly came to my mind to search the Internet for help. I found your website and immediately signed up for a chapter a day. Thank you for being an answer to my prayer. I think that God must be well-pleased with the work you have put into readthescriptures.com."
Kirk Ouimet - January 18, 2007
"I just learned about this today. I just wanted to say thank you for putting this together and devoting so much time and energy into this! It is truly amazing that somebody would do this at no cost!!"
Kelly - January 12, 2007
"Thank you for "read the scriptures" so far. I am 10 years old and home schooled and read my scriptures with your program. Thanks"
Eli Cutchen, Perry Ward, Perry, GA - January 4, 2007
"This is so neat! Thank you so much! I love the schedules that can be made, and I'm amazed at all this site provides. Being able to write notes and listen to the scriptures on audio is great!"
Amber - December 8, 2006
"I am very impressed with your program, and am thankful for such an intricate and useful program that really helps us with the key elements of having a worthwhile church experience, not to mention our personal lives. I love that I can keep up with the weekly Gospel Doctrine lesson, I love that I am so gently reminded about my commitments. And I am keeping my journal regularly! As Relief Society President, I was able to promote this in Relief Society and there are several sisters that have told me how wonderful they think the program is! I have also sent it to family members and they have also started using it. It is a testimony of how good your program is that so many started using it immediately and were so happy with it. Thank you again for this service."
Denise - December 2, 2006
"Thank you so much for this service!!! What a wonderful service you offer us who sit in front of a computer with time on our hands, but get the blessing of reading the scriptures during this "down" time. I do this while at work - so there will be days that I do not read as I am not at work. Then I get the pleasure of catching up when I come back. May our loving Father in Heaven bless you for this service."
Myrna - November 13, 2006
"I want to express my deep appreciation to you for this site. For some reason, reading the scripture on screen is different than reading in a book....different things jump out at you, and inspiration seems very close at hand. I think you were led by the Lord to create this site--and I pray His greatest blessings on you for your service to the world. Thank you."
Cynthia - October 17, 2006
"Thanx, guys for putting this together. I can hardly wait to start using this great service. I will share with others. What a great way to 'flood the earth' with the good news of Jesus Christ. Keep up your good work."
Brenda - October 15, 2006
"Hello, Thanks for the website. I have just completed reading the Old Testament with the help of your friendly reminders. I have recommended this site to others at church and to my family as I think it is a wonderful tool. You were just brilliant to think of doing something like this."
Teresa - October 14, 2006
"WOW!! What a fabulous service you are providing!!"
Allison - October 14, 2006
"Hey, I love your site. I was looking for something to help me with my scripture reading and had a bit of an idea of what type of set-up I needed. Then I found you and you were exactly what I was looking for! I assume you have no objections to a mention in our ward newsletter. It is such a great idea I want to tell my ward about you guys!"
Blair - October 14, 2006
"Thank you so much for this fantastic website! I will be making regular use of it to help me with my journal writing and scripture study. Thanks again."
Lesley (over in sunny Scotland) - October 9, 2006
"I love your service! It's a great way to read the scriptures for those who are busy."
Aaron - October 8, 2006
"Hi! I'm the RS president in our ward and we've just found your site. We're testing a team with our presidency and I'm so excited about it. This is totally awesome! We are talking about kicking off a big team of RS ladies starting the first of September....a takeoff on back to school for the sisters, it's "back-to-scriptures". Thanks so much for your website. It will be terrific to be able to post comments on the scriptures we're reading and get responses."
Jan Myers, Grapevine Ward, Grapevine, Texas - July 28, 2006
"I just wanted to say what an incredible
service this is and how much I appreciate it. It is an answer to mine, and I'm sure, many
other people's prayers who struggle with reading our scriptures. I have this sappy, teary
feeling--you know the kind you get? But I really do think that you ARE an answer to my
prayers, so thank you. Very, very much."
Sheila Morton - June 29, 2006
"I love this site, what an amazing tool you have delevoped to help us keep track of scripture
reading. The feelings of peace and comfort that come from reading the scriptures are amazing,
and I love the feeling I have when I read every day. Unfortunetely, I don't always remember.
But since I'm on the computer so much this is almost a sure fire way for me to remember to
read. Thanks so much!"
Anna Davis - June 19, 2006
"Just wanted to say thank you for this awesome site. I have been so slack with my scripture
reading. I know I needed some kind of structured schedule that will keep me going, and now
I've found it. I love the features on this site. Thank you, for taking the time in creating
this site and making it easier for people like me to simply read the scriptures."
Eseta Craig - June 19, 2006
"Brothers and Sisters, I wanted to personally thank you for
innovating this great way to deliver the scriptures. Admittedly, my
scripture study habits are poor. Yet, with all the time I spend in
front of a computer every day, I've found time to read and enjoy the
scriptures. You can be sure that I will tell everyone I know about this wonderful site.
Thank you."
Vince Smith - May 22, 2006
"I would like to thank you for this wonderful site. It has been a tremendous help for me and
others here in Iraq. The stress of military operations seem to overshadow the opportunities
for our study of the scriptures. Your site has made it much easier to continue this all
important commandment."
John C. Salazar, Mosul Airfield, Iraq - April 1, 2006
"I just had to let you know how invaluable this site has been to me. I have been reading my
scriptures on line for about a month now and it is really working well for me! :) I am even
reading all 4 standard works at once which is great fun. Before I found your program I was
terribly hit and miss with my scripture reading. I don't know who was the mastermind behind
this site but I think you're a genius. I am so grateful to you and wish you all the best.
Thanks a lot."
Brenda Nettleship, Sheffield, England - March 28, 2006
"Thank you, so much for your wonderful, free email service. I need all the help I can get to
remember to read scriptures every day. This has been a life saver. Please continue the great
work."
Susan Andrews - March 23, 2006
"Thanks so much for creating this wonderful program! Every time I settle down
to read the scriptures, my young children get jealous and start climbing all
over me. With Read the Scriptures, I can hold them on my lap while we listen
together to the scriptures. Also, my 10 year old son gets up early every
morning before school to check his email for Read the Scriptures. I
specifically set up his email account for the purpose of reading the
scriptures. Thanks again!"
Kiinani Bullock - February 13, 2006
"I have only joined this site recently, having discoverd it by accident, but I
am so grateful that I did. Reading the scriptures daily has always been an area
in which I have struggled greatly. But thanks to this service I am now able to
have scriptures to read as 'homework', which is a really great personal
motivator. Now I should be able to immerse myself into my scriptures as the
Lord has asked of us and further my progress towards the temple. Thankyou!!!"
Kathy Mawby, Hyde Ward, Manchester England Stake - January 26, 2006
"This web site is really a blessing. I can read my scriptures and then document
my feelings and thoughts through the journal that is provided each morning
before I get involved in other superfluous things. It's much like taking a
class, where you know you must report your progress and so you work more
diligently at learning. It's fabulous! I think this is such a wonderful
opportunity for anyone who wants to get themselves on a regular reading
schedule. Thank you for this great tool."
Joan Clark - January 5, 2006
"Thank you so much for this sight. It is helping me with my reading so much. I
just love it."
Betty Jackson - January 4, 2006
"During a time in our family where there are many trials, I cannot tell you how
grateful I am to have this as a daily encouragement for me to "keep my shoulder
to the wheel" and move onward. I know that I, my family and my personal
relationship with my Father, and Jesus Christ can only be strengthened as I
determine to be obedient to Priesthood Authority, especially that of our
beloved Prophet. Thank you for giving this to me."
Sister Wendy Walz - December 31, 2005
"Thank you so much for having this service available. I started reading The
Book of Mormon some time after we were asked to by the Prophet. I think that I
would have not been able to complete the book without your service. Thanks
again."
Jo Browning - December 28, 2005
"Wow! Whatta nice site! I now consider my Old Testament reading FINISHED!
Thanks Brethren very nice service! God bless You!"
Jocel Tumbaga, Bayan 1st Ward, Dasmariñas Philippines Stake - December 27, 2005
"I have a really bad habit of waiting to the last second to get stuff done. I
have been putting of Gordon B Hinckley's challenge. I was starting to wonder if
I would even get it done. Then one day I came across this website. In a few of
my prayers I remember asking for help to finish the Book of Mormon by the end
of the year. This website is really an answer to my prayers. Thanks for putting
so much time into this website."
Audra - December 13, 2005
"I just want to say THANK YOU!!! This is an amazing site, I LOVE it... Will
recommend it to everyone! God Bless"
Angelica Armenta - December 8, 2005
"Thanks for the "Read the scriptures" program. I have never made it completely
through the Old Testament, however with your help I plan on getting throught
the entire book this time. Thanks so much."
Peggy Klemetson - December 7, 2005
"This is one of the most clear and effective website's I have come across. I
mean the website makes sense and it functions and is nice and quick too. Thanks
for a great service and I am happy to recommend it."
Jane Furey, Brisbane Australia - December 6, 2005
"You folks are doing a fantastic job! I love your service."
Brad Baker, Bishop of the Kirkland 1st Ward in Washington State - November 26, 2005
"Thank you, Arigato, Merci Beaucoup, Muchos Gracias, Mahalo, Grazie,
Donkashein, Xie Xie.... you've created an invaluable aid (especially for those
of us in the whirlwind stage of life) to be obedient to President Hinkley's
request to read the Book of Mormon by the first of the year. I was floundering
until Mormonchic's newsletter article, featuring your service, came my way.
And, the audio feature is very helpful when my eyes give out. Thanks again for
your excellent work, I appreciate it very much..."
Janice McIntire - November 16, 2005
"This completely free program is the most personalized program I’ve ever
encountered. When I enrolled, I was able to select a book of scripture, tell
the program which chapter I would be reading next, and then select a reading
schedule."
"As a result of using the program for the past few weeks, I am much further
along in my reading than I expected. I find it easy to read a little longer
when I have an “assignment” and it’s surprisingly motivating to click the
little button that notifies the site I did my reading..."

Terrie Lynn Bittner - November 8, 2005
"This website that you built is absolutely great! Everybody should know about
it. It is absolutely fantastic. I joined today and set my reading schedule.
It's a very valuable tool that makes it much easier to keep up with daily
scripture reading. I love it. Thank you very much."
Wanda Vandevelde - October 19, 2005
"This is my new secret weapon for scripture study. You can use it to work out a
scripture reading schedule for any of the LDS scriptures and it will send you
the days readings to you as an email, it also shows you how you are doing. As
well as being able to read the days readings in your email it also gives you
the option of receiving the days reading in 'Talking Book' format."
Steve - October 2005
"This is actually a pretty good site! I signed up and found out that I was
further along than I thought. If I keep reading at my current pace I'll be done
by the middle of December!!!"
"This is a great service. You should try it out!"
