The Purple Book has been instrumental in my growth as a believer…an effective tool in helping me build the life that God has intended for me. —Mark Brunell, NFL coach and former quarterback

As you work through these 54 short lessons of about 15 minutes each, you will:

  • Understand foundational truths on topics such as sin, salvation, spiritual gifts, prayer, worship, generosity, and evangelism.
  • Learn how the Bible is God-breathed and relevant to our everyday life.
  • Discover that the faith you hold has true power to change lives.
  • Gain a solid foundation the enemy cannot dismantle—and a heart shaped by knowledge of God's Word.

The Purple Book is perfect for:

From students and scholars to parents, kids, rock stars, and professional athletes, people all over the world are doing The Purple Book. Join the movement and take someone else along the journey with you to help establish Biblical foundations in their life too!

I love The Purple Book. It continually helps reinforce the only foundation worth building upon—a biblical one. —Peter Furler, Newsboys
