We recently launched Bible Gateway Plus—an alternative membership service that removes banner ads from Bible Gateway and greatly expands the online study materials you can access while reading Scripture. From the beginning, the response from members has been overwhelming—they love the absence of banner advertising and the exclusive Bible study resources.

If you’re on the fence about trying it, here are five reasons to sign up for your free 30-day trial today:

5. You’ll focus better!

Without banner ads vying for your attention, you’ll be able to concentrate more fully on the biblical content you’ve searched for and are reading.

4. You’ll have more time to converse with your loved ones!

You won’t have to laboriously find and open multiple print Bible commentaries and search their pages for what they have to say pertaining to the Bible passages you’re currently reading on Bible Gateway (they’re already open and synchronized on your screen!).

3. You’ll go to bed smiling!

You’ll be content knowing that by joining this membership service you’re helping to make it possible for people in more than 200 countries to freely read, hear, search, study, compare, & share the Bible in—more than 200 versions and more than 70 languages—when they use Bible Gateway.

2. Your pastor will be amazed!

You’ll surprise even yourself with how you can summarize each book of the Bible in brief, single sentences (because you’ve read the “Leading Thought of Each Book” section in Halley’s Bible Handbook Notes, which is among the more than 40 Bible reference works included in your Bible Gateway Plus membership).

1. Your wallet will thank you!

There’s no risk or obligation in taking Bible Gateway Plus for a test drive—simply sign up for a 30-day free trial and you’ll get complete access to all Bible Gateway Plus features for a month’s worth of days.

Sign up today and see how Bible Gateway Plus can help you deepen your engagement with the Bible.

Of course, all the Bible resources that have been freely available on Bible Gateway will remain free. But we encourage you to augment your online Scripture reading without the distraction of banner ads and with more Bible study content by trying Bible Gateway Plus FREE right now! And tell us what you think!
