The Bible in a Year Companion guide takes Catholics through the award-winning podcast The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)™ including daily summaries, transcripts of Fr. Mike’s daily prayers, and extra content for each episode.
It’s the perfect way to remember what you’re hearing, as well as learn even more about each part of Scripture!
The Companion presents daily content for each episode of the podcast, including:
- The proprietary Bible in a Year Reading Plan
- Summary of the key points and highlights of Fr. Mike’s commentary on the daily readings
- "Take It to Prayer", where Catholics will be able to pray the daily prayer alongside Fr. Mike and the rest of the BIY community
- Unique content surrounding each day’s readings, from images and Q&As to prayer prompts and ways to live out the Scriptures in real life
In addition to the daily content, each time period will have a Time Period Introduction and Review. Written by Jeff Cavins, these will help Catholics to know what to look for in the days ahead, and to recall what has happened in the days completed.
From Fr. Mike’s introduction:
“I believe that this Bible in a Year Companion is a great tool to take you deeper. It is one thing to be exposed to the Story, but it is another to remember it. This Companion will help those who are so quick to forget—which is all of us! … In this world, where we are so tempted toward distraction and distress, we now have a resource to understand how the story of salvation unfolds and how we can fit into that story today.
“Now, we have a place to remember.”

This book is more convenient than jotting down your notes during podcasts. I read them after listening to the podcasts. This is my first year at BIY. It would be great to have a companion for the Catechism as well.
Concise and to the point.
Shipping charge is outrageous.
I am a note-taker; it helps me understand, remember, and internalize Sacred Scripture. A prior attempt to keep up with The Bible in a Year podcast met with limited success so I planned to start over from the beginning in January. My friend sent me a screenshot sample of an early page in her Companion, Vol. 1. It was nearly identical to my notes! That's when I knew having the BIY Companion volumes throughout this year would be crucial for me. So far, so good! Thank you for the excellent study aid of my BIY Companion.
Great addition but didn’t realize it’s volume 1 of 3. It’s a little expensive with that in mind. Structurally, the book is very stiff and hard to open. It would’ve been nice in a spiral binding, especially at that price. Note writing space would’ve been great too.
My sister and I are doing BIY and I use the companion, my sister doesn't. Just doing the podcast is amazing in itself but if you want to truly retain what you hear/read you NEED this. I can easily recall my journey, review introductions to new time periods, retake the quizzes at the end of each era... my understanding of the Lord's word is always right in front of me. I love it! Please give it a shot! And I have just ordered Volume II...
