In a powerful and unexpected testimony, award-winning actor and comedian Tim Allen has revealed that he has finished reading the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation - an intentional, disciplined journey he says has left him "humbled, enlightened, and amazed."
According to ChurchLeaders, Allen completed the Scriptures after a 13-month, word-by-word, page-by-page commitment, emphasizing that there was "no skimming" and no shortcuts. In a candid social media post, the Hollywood veteran reflected on the depth of what he encountered in God's Word and made clear that this was not a box checked, but a turning point.
"Finished the entire Bible," Allen wrote. "It's been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again."
Rather than moving on, Allen announced he is preparing to start the Bible all over again, underscoring the lasting impact Scripture has had on his life. His decision highlights a growing hunger for spiritual depth and reflection that stands in sharp contrast to the pace and pressures of modern celebrity culture.
Allen's Bible journey has unfolded publicly over the past year, with the actor previously admitting that he had never read the Bible straight through before. As he progressed through both the Old and New Testaments, he shared moments of surprise, conviction, and appreciation for the coherence, honesty, and power of the biblical narrative.
Christian leaders quickly responded with encouragement. Trevin Wax, vice president of the North American Mission Board, publicly affirmed Allen's testimony with a simple but resonant exhortation: "Press on, Tim!"
Best known for iconic roles in Home Improvement, Last Man Standing, Toy Story, and The Santa Clause films, Allen's openness about reading Scripture has struck a chord with believers and seekers alike. Many have praised his humility, discipline, and willingness to speak honestly about encountering the Bible later in life.
For faith communities, Allen's testimony serves as a compelling reminder that God's Word continues to speak powerfully - not only from pulpits, but from living rooms, quiet mornings, and personal resolve. As Allen himself makes clear, finishing the Bible was not the end of the journey, but the beginning of something far deeper.
