Reading thru the Bible in a year is now easy and enjoyable

I have always struggled to read through the Bible in a year. I would start out in January ok, but by March, it was pretty much done for the year. I would then start the next year all over again, always with the same results. That was before I got a Bible that actually told me what to read every day to be on schedule. And then I found out that in addition to that, there is this chronological Bible with the events more or less in the order they happened! I'm hooked now on daily Bible reading and think that if it was easy for others to do, they'd be hooked on it too! I am now convinced more than anything else that a vigorous spiritual life absolutely requires regular reading and pondering God's Holy Word. I've always struggled with this up to now. Thanks to the daily Chronological Bible, I now look forward each afternoon when I get home from work to see what God will teach me through His word. And because it is in chronological order, the reading is more like a connected story rather than just 66 independent books strung together. Plus, you never really know what you will be reading next, depending on the sequence of events that took place all those years ago. It is a fresh look at a very familiar book, and a new adventure! And the NIV translation is accurate, relevant, and modern, which makes the reading more interesting and meaningful. I now commit to taking the 15 minutes each day to read through that day's Word with sincerity and diligence. I'm all but convinced that my life is changing due to this commitment, and for the better! God now takes on new meaning in my life, and I have new, fresh relevance as I struggle to live every day. I feel that His Holy Spirit will speak often to me in the Word, and at least 15 minutes each day will be spent reading God's love letter to me so that I can put my priorities in the right sequence. In the past month or so that I have discovered this, I have had new excitement about a 2000+ year old book, and now look forward to seeing what God will tell me in each day's 15 minutes alone with His Holy Word. All I need is my calendar and my Chronological Daily Bible. For Christians out there, I'm sure that if you include daily Bible reading and prayer as an ingredient in your daily life, that you will have many rewards for that! I suggest this almost sinfully easy way for you to do daily Bible reading with the assurance that it will bless you in ways you never thought possible! It certainly has for me!

Supremely readable.

Just an excellent idea for those of us who get confused with the duplication of facts in different books of the Bible. Very well-planned for daily reading, as well. Highly recommend.

Great Idea!

I am perhaps reviewing this bible a little prematurely since I don't own one YET. However, I was looking over my co-worker's copy and since I have decided to read the bible from the beginning to end I saw this bible as the perfect way to that. I had already started to read the regular NIV bible but found myself at times a little confused since the time frame of the events sometimes jumps around and another advantage I see to this bible is that you won't read the same story 3 to 4, or more, times. I don't recommend this bible as the only bible to own however since there may be times that you would want to read one of the books, say Mark for example, to get more of a feel for the arthur instead of the actual message and if you're in a bible study you'd want a bible that's set up in the standard way. However, if your goal is to read the bible all the way through from start to finish for the storyline it looks to me like this bible is the way to go. I'm very anxious to get my own copy!

An awesome approach to reading the Bible

Readers gain a much better understanding of the timeline throughout the Bible. Events are placed in the order they occurred, making it easy for any reader to keep track of when things are taking place. Daily readings are designed to help you through the entire Bible in one year. Perfect for anyone desiring a better grasp of the time frame throughout the Bible!

An excellent combination Bible for learning and devotions.

The "One Year Chronological Bible" is a wonderful way to gain a comprehensive overview of the what, where and when of the Bible through a planned guide of yearly readings. The Bible is finally put into its historical order (as understood by conservative, evangelical scholars), allowing readers to fit the kings, kingdoms, people, and work of God into an understandable format for any reader. The daily reading plan allows one to go through the entire Bible in a year by following an easily a managable format. This is a great resource for students, teachers, or anyone wanting to have a better understanding of the Bible - both Old and New Testaments - and its times.
