Poll: People Don’t Bring a Print Bible on Summer Vacation

Since the beginning of the summer (in the Northern Hemisphere), we’ve been asking Bible Gateway Blog readers to answer the question: “When do you read your Bible while on family vacation?” Surprisingly, the most selected answer (27%) by the more than 1,600 people responding is: “I don’t pack a Bible.”

This might mean that they don’t read the Bible at all while on vacation, or that they rely on a different source for Scripture—perhaps a Bible app (like the Bible Gateway App), Bible readings via email, or even a Gideons Bible in their hotel room.

The other answers selected in our poll are:

  • During family devotions (before the start of traveling each day) (23%)
  • Whenever I remember to (18%)
  • Other (15%)
  • In the car (any time daily while traveling) (9%)
  • Around the campfire (before bedtime) (6%)
  • Beside the pool (during an activity each day) (2%)

No matter how you read the Bible on vacation or elsewhere, we want to assist you in your objective of knowing God’s Word. One way is to use Bible Gateway’s many Bible Reading Plans that you can easily personalize to fit your own reading style and time schedule. Once you sign up, be sure to share what you read with your Facebook and Twitter followers, telling them about the options available on Bible Gateway.
