Want to share the Bible with a friend but not sure where to start? The Word One to One walks you and a companion through John's Gospel and the book of Acts, one verse at a time, with built-in notes that guide your conversation along the way.^1
Founded in 2006 by businessman Richard Borgonon after witnessing a skeptic's questions dissolve within the first four verses of John's Gospel, the resource has grown into an international evangelism tool used by teenagers and retirees alike.^2 The app breaks each book into bite-sized "episodes" — each taking around 30–45 minutes — featuring verse-by-verse layout, maps, historical context, word definitions, Old Testament cross-references, and clear summaries at the end of every session.^3 It's available in English, Spanish, German, Ukrainian, Burmese, and Ganda, with new languages being added regularly.^4
The Word One to One is free, and the content is also available as physical books and downloadable PDFs. There's no guru or teacher dynamic — just a "guide" and a "guest" reading Scripture together and letting God's Word speak for itself.^2
Why Christians Love It"This has been fantastic to read through the gospel of John with an unbelieving friend! The format, notes, definitions, historical background and dates, and summaries are clear and concise and very doable for two busy moms."^3
"Sharing God's Word liberated me in evangelism more than anything else." — Martin^1
