I read this as part of my Lenten discipline. I liked the combination of Bible readings, meditation and prayer. My only quibble would be that I started it on Ash Wednesday, and suddenly found myself at the Good Friday reading a week early. So, I just stopped reading it for a week and then picked it up on Good Friday. I'm not sure whether I started it too early, or should have skipped the Sundays, or what.
This was a perfect way to participate in the Lenten season. This devotional assisted in understanding Jesus's sacrifice in ways I never considered. Absolutely fantastic companion for worship during this holy time.
