It's the Bible, of course I am going to give it 5 stars. It took me about a year in a half to finish and it was a fresh new way to read it in it's entirety chronologically.

My preferred method for an annual read is the chronological approach. This one's pretty well done, but there are some odd choices in divisions, sequencing, etc. I imagine I'd have the same amount of issues with any version (one I've done has an entire day dedicated to one short psalm), so it's a minor complaint, so maybe 5 stars would be a fair rating.

It's nice to have the text collected so that I'm not using a reading chart to flip through the my Bible.

I believe this is my first time going through the Bible chronologically. I liked the way this one was set up, day by day, usually no more than 4-5 pages at a time. What I got out of it this year was a better understanding of the Old Testament books that often mirror each other when talking about battles and kings. I felt like I had a stronger grasp of the history of Israel during that time period. I also really appreciated having David's Psalms interspersed with his life events. It made them so much more powerful to me, thinking about how he was writing them during some of the toughest moments in his life.

I have issues with magical realism in general, especially when it fails to deliver on both counts. Between the heavy-handedness of some of the characters and all the inconsistencies, I just found the whole thing to be wildly implausible and I often found myself laughing out loud. Hard to digest, even when divided into 365 smaller pieces. And infinitely in need of more editing.

Kinda cumbersome. It felt like it needed a longer editing process. There were some incongruities.

Not sure if this is the actual edition I read, but I can't find one that specifies the NASB2020 translation. Read in the You Bible app with a friend. The NASB version that I selected for the year is not my favorite translation. I had a hard time connecting with God's Word in parts. In addition, I was reading this plan concurrently as another Bible-in-a-Year plan for nine of the months, which was a lot! I did enjoy the chronological aspect of reading the Psalms in context of the Bible stories around them. I also think I would have enjoyed this better in book format rather than digitally in the app for the chronological approach.

This was a very interesting way to read the Bible. It really showed things in a different light and gave me a new perspective. At times during the Old Testament, I found myself almost a little lost, particularly when parts of Daniel showed up. I was waiting for the next event to occur, but I often would have to wait. This took some getting used to. But I am glad I read it. It's very nice that I now have an idea of what happened when.

This is my 2nd time reading the complete bible in a year....I will continue to do this each year as each time I go through it I learn and absorb more of its teachings.....
I encourage anyone to try the BiOY (Bible in one year) app......

I love reading the Bible chronologically every few years. There is something special about reading it this way - especially when it comes to the Psalms being mixed in with the history of that time.

Best ever! Chronological structure is inspiring!

[Kristen McWilliams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read a chronological plan in tandem with The Bible Recap podcast with Tara Leigh Cobble and it was excellent. Highly recommend!!!

[Karla Renee Goforth Abreu · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am currently reading this, as it is divided into 365 readings. My copy is the NLT, which is an easy to read, yet reliable translation of Scripture. Previously, I used The One Year Bible for a year's worth of reading the entire Bible in small sections, the ESV translation. The Chronological One Year Bible is proving to be just as insightful and interesting as it links the various passages of Scripture in the order of the events as they happened, culminating in a reading of the complete Bible, in small segments. Having read the Bible through numerous times, I find this slower pace to be not only enjoyable but it affords the reader more time for reflection. While reading Scripture in this manner is not devotional, it can lend itself to such. This is an effective method for the reader to accomplish a goal and spend time communing with God.

This was my third read-through Bible. After reading through in NIV and TNIV, I picked this up to read through not for the translation but for the chronology. It really helped me get a better picture of where all the different books and verses fit together and helped really bring many of the Psalms alive for me since they were put in the context of what was going on with David and such.

I really feel this is a must-read for a Christian who's already got an idea of various books and such of the Bible and wants to bring them together in a new way. The gospels, especially, really come alive when you read them as a grouping vs individually.

The more I think about this the more I think I may just have to read this one again next year!

An excellent way to read the Bible. Chronological order helps put prophecies and letters in context. The daily readings are a convenient way to stay motivated. Added notes on the context of each book are also helpful. Unlike some chronological Bibles, this puts Job near Genesis, when the events are purported to take place, instead of during the captivity, when it was probably written, helping, I think, the overall flow of the book.
The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because it's NIV, which is an okay translation, but I much prefer NASB.

The living word from the God of all life, purposed that we can know Him. Not always easy. Not a word ever found false. We are talking about God, not a guy down the street. Our creator, not a casual advisor. Thousands have tried to destroy, disgrace, and deny it. It is a living gift from the living God. Ignore at your own peril. Or enjoy into eternal blessing. Read it and weep, and wonder, and rejoice.

i am again bouncing off the walls happy....have loved all Christ has done through His word in my life...but for me, this is a major milestone in my walk...just finished reading the Bible from start to finish...for the FIRST time! thank you Jesus! the plan is to start all over again, but in a different version. so very excited!

I read this version of the Chronological Bible a few years ago after reading my "regular" NIV Bible. It really gave me perspective on the historical order of events that occurred in these Biblical days. I would recommend to anyone if you haven't read the Greatest Book ever written. You know that the BIBLE is an acronym for Basic. Instructions. Before. Leaving. Earth!

[Deann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cool way to explore the bible. No more wondering if people are the same from one book to another. This gives a great overview of all the historical events and ties together each Ch/Vs that connects to each other in chronological order.

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was really nice to be able to read the Bible according to a historical timeline. I found the Bible is repeatitive in various areas and also gave the ame story but from a different point of view. I learned more in depth about the Bible.

I'm actually reading this on my YouVersion app. I just finished reading the entire Bible for the first time in my life on a 1-year reading plan, and I wanted to now read it chronologically to make things interesting. I can't get enough of God's words!

[Valeen Tschamler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved going through the bible chronologically & actually reading every part of it even the "boring" parts.

[Kori · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book! This is a whole new take on studying the Bible!!!! Very Interesting!!!

[Nanci · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish this was available as a digital audiobook so I wouldn't have to worry about all those CDs. I am rereading it and I can guarantee you I would listen to it all the time to keep me grounded.

[Isabella · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good way to read the bible. I had to add the Deurerocanonical books on my own.

Day by day the reader builds insight into Gods word. Well worth reading. Swapped to on line readings in 2022, and Lectio 365
