'My favourite way to start the day' - BEAR GRYLLS
Discover the life-changing habit of daily Bible reading.
Over the last three decades, millions of people around the world have been introduced to Christianity through Alpha, a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith pioneered by Nicky Gumbel. Through the simple format of a shared meal, a short talk and a group discussion on particular aspects of faith, many participants have encountered Jesus, accepted him as their saviour and become part of the church family.
As Alpha grew, so did the need to disciple new Christians in reading the Bible. Sensing this need, Nicky and Pippa Gumbel began to share their reflections on each passage of the NIV Bible in One Year with the church via email. The insightful daily commentary, which draws out applicable truths from each day's New Testament, Old Testament and Psalms or Proverbs reading, quenched the thirst of many who were searching for an easy and accessible way to understand the Bible. The daily email became an app which now reaches millions of subscribers worldwide.
This volume, which contains both Nicky and Pippa's thoughts alongside each Bible passage, makes cultivating a daily Bible reading habit easy. It's perfect for anyone looking for extra guidance in applying the wisdom of the Bible to life in the twenty-first century.
This smart and durable hardback edition includes a red ribbon marker to keep your place as you journey through the year. The Bible text and commentary are printed in a font size of 9.25pt.
Nicky and Pippa Gumbel's commentary on the Bible in One Year is available as an iOS and Android app.
Nicholas Glyn Paul Gumbel, known as Nicky Gumbel, is an English Anglican priest and author in the evangelical and charismatic traditions. He is known as the developer of the Alpha Course, a basic introduction to Christianity supported by churches of many Christian traditions.
Nicky Gumble reads his commentary with an entry for every day of the year. It was great to listen to alongside the Bible in One Year. (some of the entries and people referred to may feel dated now or in the future)
I literally CRIED when I finished this earlier this morning. Reading and studying this Bible every morning this year has been such an incredible journey 🥹 *I will not cry whilst writing this review* 😂 It has changed my life in more ways than I could ever have imagined. The hour, or so, spent studying this Bible daily quickly became my favourite part of each day.
If you are looking for an accessible way to study the Bible or you just want to read in a structured capacity, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this version of the Bible. It has been incredibly well thought out and written. I will truly miss having this to start my day off with and I will definitely be using it again in future years to come.
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 NIV
What an incredible journey through the Bible! The commentary each day was a breath of fresh air and full of new perspective. I had no idea scripture could feel so alive and fresh after years of being a Christian. Also, the audio version was 100%!! I listened through the Bible App.
This has been a life changing experience. God has so much to tell us. If we slow down, God will give us the wisdom we need to understand His words. Starting with daily texts from Wisdom text, Psalms, or proverbs, then moving to the NT then OT, there is a wonderful commentary after each section that clarifies themes that cam be difficult. Highly recommended!!! Prayer that you may benefit from this incredible book. It is also available as a free app on playstore for Android or Apple.
I’ve completed this before, a couple of years ago - using the YouVersion Bible app. I’m now doing the 2025 version on the YouVersion Bible app. I started early December 26th as I’d finished two Advent plans the previous day.
I really like Nicky & Pippa voice. They read the devotional page and I read the Amplified version Bible passages. I would have used The Message version previously.
Best devotional bible I have ever used. Nicky Gumbel's devotions helped grow my faith over the year and Pippa Gumbel's pithy comments at the end were cleverly funny or humble or obedience inspiring.
This is one of my favorite Bible studies by one of my favorite authors. I could read this one again and again and still get a new insight even after so many reads. Reading through the recap is a great complement to the You Version Bible Study.
