Welcome to Abby’s Hearth Bible 18 Challenge!

Each challenge contains 18 questions to test your Bible knowledge. Why 18? In Jewish tradition, the Hebrew word chai (חי) means “life” and has the numerical value of 18. Since God’s Word brings life, we thought 18 questions was the perfect way to build our Bible challenge series.
