Tim Allen continues ‘amazing’ Bible reading journey

By Movieguide® Contributor

Tim Allen continues his journey to read the entire Bible, an experience he says is full of unexpected and “amazing” challenges.

“I’m continuing to read the entire Bible,” the actor posted on X. “I finished a rather intense Ezekiel, now onto Daniel. The challenge in reading this book is how I translate words that the Eternal expresses into the temporal. I need a Snickers.”

Allen had shared his attempt to read the Bible cover to cover in another X post earlier this year.

“In all my years I have never taken the time to ever read the Bible and actually read it,” the TOY STORY actor wrote. “Currently almost through the Jerusalem Bible Old Testament and almost done with the Prophets. Then the New Testament. Great so far and not at all what I expected.”

The actor has previously spoken about his faith, telling 20/20 that the death of his father when he was just 11 complicated his relationship with God.

“For years I just didn’t like this idea of ​​God, the church,” he explained. “(I was) still a churchgoer, but continually a cynic.”

Eventually he found his faith again and now calls God ‘the Builder’.

“I always ask… The builder, what did you want me to do?” Allen explained. “And I ask it too. But you have to be prepared for the answer.”

He added that his own life experiences have proven to him that God has a plan for all of us.

“Whoever built me, this is too much, too weird that it happened by accident,” he said. “It didn’t happen by accident.”

Allen is currently hard at work on his latest TV project, SHIFTING GEARS. In the sitcom, Allen will star as Matt, “the stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop,” according to Variety.

“When Matt’s estranged daughter (Kat Dennings) and her children move into his home, the real restoration begins,” the outlet continued.
