A day with Hosie
Five minutes, one story, one grumpy friend.
Read today's story
A short passage with a scene of what it looked like. Start anywhere: Genesis, Jonah, or wherever you left off.
Hear Hosie's take
He has opinions. About Jonah, mostly. Ask him what you just read and he'll explain it plainly.
Fill your Ark
Finish a story and its animal walks aboard, then its mate. Two by two, until the whole Bible is read.
Passenger list
Who's boarding your Ark
Every animal is earned by reading. None of them are for sale.

Meet Hosie
Stubborn about you.
His name comes from "Hosanna," what the crowd shouted when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. He takes that very seriously.
When you finish LeviticusProud. Won't say it twice.
When you skip a dayNot mad. Just standing by the door.
When Jonah boards the wrong boatEvery single time.
During the genealogiesSnack break.
When the dove comes backOlive leaf. Big day.
Reading before bedStill counts. He checked.
