Pear Bible

Read and share the Bible with friends on Pear!

Pear Bible is the app for reading the Bible with a friend, with real accountability and connection. Pear's tandem reading plans mean that you can't read ahead of your partner, and your partner can't read without you. You both need to read each day to continue the plan. As you read together in a shared bible, you'll share highlights and discuss verses directly in Scripture. Over time, you'll engage with and share the Bible regularly (Matthew 28:18-20) and fill your shared bibles with encouragement, discipleship, and testimony so you can look back and remember God's faithfulness in your lives.

MISSION

Pear Bible's mission is to help people read the Bible regularly or for the first time. We believe this is enabled by making Scripture easy to engage with, and easy to share, wherever you are. The reading experience on Pear is born out of these two things. The result: we leverage technology to provide highly interactive bibles with reading plans that create real accountability and connection.
