This is a wonderful way to fulfill the need to read a steady diet of God's Word. It allows you to read selected Psalms and Proverbs once every day. It is nicely broken up so that you can turn back and read it over and over without feeling you are missing any part of devotional and yet is not so much that you cannot read and enjoy His Word with only a few minutes a day.

I bought this in a used bookstore for [$$] in 1997, and have made it part of my daily routine ever since. I started using this after having used the one-year bible and one year new testament for several years each, and wanted something that didn't cut off passages in midstream....I especially wanted more of the Psalms, since the prayers of others are a wonderful way to hear God's voice speaking to your own life.

The bonus was, I found some wonderful passages in Proverbs that seem to be written just for me.

Each day, you read 5 Psalms, and a chapter of Proverbs. This isn't a substitute for studying the rest of scripture, but is a wonderful devotional habit I plan to continue for the rest of my life.

I purchased this small book 14 years ago for my mom, and when she was sick and dying it was on her bedside table and we read from it everyday, Just as she did everyday for years. Now, her copy is my treasure and I am buying copies for my children. An excellent compass for everyday life.

I absolutely love this publication! I have used this book for decades in my quiet time and when it finally dawned on me that it would make a lovely gift for friends and realatives I had a hard time finding it! Guess it had gone out of publication for quite some time. When I decided to look on Amazon, I was delighted to find that a couple of copies were available. Of course I snapped them up! I have looked again recently and see that it is available again. I am going to get a few copies for Christmas gifts!
This small book, is made up entirely of the Psalms and Proverbs. No one else's comments, just the word. The first day has Psalms 1, 31, 61, 91, and 121, with Proverbs 1. Day two has Psalms 2, 32, 62, 92, 122 with Proverbs 2. And so it goes for 31 days so that you get through all of the Psalms and Proverbs in one month.
When I don't have time to read anything else, I can always go to this format, see what the Psalms are for that day and at least spend some precious time with the Lord through the pslamist!
Lately, I have been using this to memorize my favorite verses and even entire psalms...going slow, but at least trying!
You will not regret buying this book. Great to meditate on your favorite verses for the day. Easy to take everywhere. I keep it in my purse! I keep another copy by my bed and read at least one psalm before retiring.

I use my 31 Days of Wisdom and Praise to read through the Psalms every month...I love it!!! Also, it is a great gift!!
