The Bible. 365 days. You. Yes, you! Not the type to sit down and read the entire Bible? Yes, the goal is to read the whole Bible in a year, but think about it in terms of smaller, daily goals. Think about a commitment to read a short selection from the Bible plus a concise devotional every day. You can do that – especially since The Bible Year has it all mapped out for you day by day. Plus, you’ll also get summaries of key themes and ideas to help you better digest and understand your readings. So you’re not just reading verse after verse, you’re enriching your spiritual life, developing a deeper faith and forming a closer connection to God and to each other. The Bible Year is also a wonderful way for small groups or even individuals to grow closer to God, while providing a common thread that will promote new and deeper friendships among members. Additional resources sold separately include a Leader Guide with discussion questions for small groups and a Pastor's Guide for a church-wide emphasis. Daily Bible goals start here! Praise for The Bible Year When it comes to read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year programs, The Bible Year is a game changer. Packed with devotionals, discussion guides, and resources for pastors, this beautifully written book makes journeying through Scripture less daunting and more rewarding. It’s the perfect companion for those who wish to read through the Bible for the first time or those seek to go deeper in their study of Scripture together with others. – Ryan P. Bonfiglio, Director of the Candler Foundry and Assistant Professor of Old Testament, Candler Theological Seminary With a pastor’s devotion to God and the people he serves, deVega has structured a truly helpful guide for reading the Bible in the span of a year. The thoughtful format is well designed to encourage steady progress in reading, and provoke thoughtful reflection. Brief section summaries allow the reader to stay on top of the larger story line, and thoughtful questions and blank spaces support a meditative encounter. This book is a welcome gift for anyone who wants to grow in faithfulness and devotion. – Melody D. Knowles, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of Old Testament, Virginia Theological Seminary
I started reading this when with my daughter and her Hendersonville, NC reading group in January and finished it today. Quite an revelation or unveiling. A wonderful reread. This book helps to pace oneself through 365 days of reading the Bible. I used the Bible app this time. Previously I’ve read through using a print learning Bible or the King James Bible that was given to me when a I became an Annointed High Priest.
If you want to read the Bible in a year, but are afraid of the commitment, this guide makes it easy! There is a summary of each week, followed by the selected reading for the day with a brief summary. It gives you a reading for each day, starting at Genesis and taking you all the way through to Revelations.
We used this as our bBible reading guide this year. My husband and I enjoyed the brief daily summaries. We most appreciated reading the Bible straight through. Much preferred this to the One Year Bible.
Thanks to the encouragement of my church and this book, I finally obtained the goal of reading the Bible cover to cover! I had made numerous attempts over the years and never succeeded.
