Actor Tim Allen Reveals Amazing Bible Journey
It’s not every day you see a Hollywood star diving deep into Scripture, but Tim Allen, the beloved actor known for the hit TV program “Home Improvement” and movie “Toy Story,” has done just that—and he’s sharing his journey with the world.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Allen revealed, “After nearly a year I have finished entire Old Testament and the experience of re-reading, dedicated focus and no drifting has made this a humbling overwhelming experience. What a treasure. Three days into New Testament.” His words resonate beyond just personal achievement; they highlight the transformative power of engaging with the Bible in a meaningful, focused way.

As reported by The Christian Post, Allen has been candid about the challenges and surprises in his reading. In August, he admitted, “Never took the time in all my years to ever read and really read the Bible. Currently almost through the Jerusalem Bible Old Testament and almost done with the prophets. Next up to New Testament. So far, amazing and not at all what I was expecting.”
Allen’s openness about his spiritual journey is both refreshing and inspiring. With so much distraction by fleeting trends and digital noise these days, his commitment to immersing himself in Scripture offers a simple yet profound reminder: the Bible isn’t just an ancient book, it’s a living, breathing source of wisdom, comfort and challenge.
If someone like Tim Allen, amid his busy life and career, can find the time and dedication to read the Bible, perhaps it’s a nudge for all of us to do the same. Whether you’re revisiting familiar passages or opening its pages for the first time, the Bible has the power to surprise, challenge and transform.
So, why not take a page from Tim Allen’s book—literally? Make reading the Bible a goal this year. You might just find, as he did, that it’s a “treasure” waiting to be discovered.
