Wonderful Inspirational Guide for Reading the Bible Through

Many times I have tried to read the Bible through in one year. I have never succeeded. This year, will be different. With the inspirational and motivational thoughts taken each day from the recommended daily readings, I look forward to my daily Bible reading time. Never have I continued this long into the new year with this undertaking. The comments each day by Jean and Gene, go straight to my heart and help me in my spiritual journey. Somedays I even want to read ahead and see what is next. I have given several copies of the book away and am getting similar comments from others who are reading it.

Gleanings From God's Word

This book is excellent in helping you read through the Bible in a year. The daily devotions are so helpful in understanding the passage of that day. I am finally excited about reading through the Bible in a year. I am not doing it just to say I have done it. I am getting so much more out of it. Thank you Jean and Gene you experiences are so helpful!

Gleanings from God's Word

If you are interested in spending quality time with God each day and growing in the process, Gleanings from God's Word is the ideal devotional guide. I have not yet finished reading the book because it is designed to take a full year to read. What I have read has inspired, motivated, and challenged my life.To me, there are two things that separate the good devotional books from the great ones. The first is application. Each day's reading in Gleanings is written in a way that applies to life, no matter your background, education, or social status. The Phillips teach us God's truths as they apply to our lives. There are days that the words speak to me as though they came directly from the mouth of God. You don't just read the material, you carry it with you - pondering the bits of wisdom and applying where necessary.The second thing that separates the good devotional from the great is personal growth. Am I growing spiritually and as a human being as I go through this book? YES! The Phillips are great teachers who are full of wisdom. Their love for the Lord and understanding of His Word makes this book a great tool for anyone desiring a closer walk with God.The hardest part is putting the book down until the next day's devotional time.
