One Year Through the Bible

I read this book every day and have found it to be an inspiration and guide. I will buy it for gifts at Christmas and reread it for years to come. I'm so glad I bought it. I would suggest that anyone who wants to read the Bible and have suggestions for daily guidelines purchase and read this book each day. I'm enjoying it very much.

This book helped me actually read and enjoy the entire Bible in a year. Unlike most devotional books, this one focuses your attention totally on the passage for the day. It includes an introduction to the passage, an interpretation, and an application for your daily life. In addition it has a condensed version of the day's verses. One Year through the Bible enlightened and challenged me. Everything I've heard my entire life in church became clear and much more meaningful. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is overwhelmed at the thought of reading the entire Bible or anyone who is looking for a thought-provoking guide.

I have a lot of difficulty with the discipline of being in God's Word on a daily or near daily basis. This devotional was an answer to prayer. If I read just the passages in the devotional, I will have sampled the Bible in a year's time. If I read the entire passages noted for each date, I will have read the entire Bible in a year. I suspect I will end up somewhere between the two as some days I read just the passage in the devotional and other days I complete the entire reading in my own Bible. Each day's reading also includes an introductory paragraph and a paragraph about how the passage can be applied to everyday life. For anyone who struggles with reading the Word on a regular basis and feels overwhelmed, I highly recommend this devotional.
