This chronological Bible reads like an adventure story. Each daily section has appropriate commentaries and valuable insights. The entire Bible is written in an easy to understand and digest format. It is also interesting to read. The Devotional Commentary leads you smoothly through the Scripture, painting the scene for what is about to be read with historical and spiritual insights. If you've had difficulty reading an entire Bible, this one will make it an easy and enjoyable, as well as spiritually uplifting experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent way to get into the Word ... starting in Genesis, February 12, 1999

By A Customer

This is a chronological compilation of the scripture with great jewels of wisdom by the editor that explain what you are about to read in the next few verses. As a Bible student for many years, this edition has captured me, even in those geneologies, because of the explanations that tell me what is about to happen or why something is important and how it fits with events in other places in scripture. I highly recommend this to anyone at any level of spiritual maturity.

5.0 out of 5 stars The way to read and study the bible, May 28, 2006

Last year I made a decision that I wanted to become a more spiritual person, and I felt one of the keys to that was to read the Bible. I filled out a calendar with due dates for each of the various books and started out - but failed miserably. A few weeks ago I was playing golf with a new acquaintance and he mentioned a daily reading bible that he had found to be a great help in reading and studying the bible. The chronological layout, he felt, was the greatest asset.

I found my way to a nearby Christian bookstore (the first time in my life) and looked at the verion my golf partner had recommended. It seemed like it would work, but then I found this version sitting next to it on the shelf. Immediately I was attracted to it for several reasons, but the most compelling was the author's explanations and introduction to the different sections. That extra information seemed to make the passages so much easier to understand.

So I've been reading this book for a while now - and actually keeping to my schedule - and I have to give it five stars for ease of reading and understanding (and keeping me on schedule!).

If you want to successfully read the bible I suppose any chronoligical version would do. But if you want to understand it and get some real enjoyment and knowledge from your reading then I can't think of a better purchase.
