4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful little book with daily readings and thoughts, October 23, 2004

This is a fun book to flip through. It is laid out really well - on each set of pages is a full New Testament and Old Testament reading, plus a comment by a Christian leader and then a couple questions for you to ask yourself and think about. I really like that the book is small and padded hardcover so it's very easy to carry around and read. It also has a cute black ribbon for marking your favorite page/last page read. If you are giving it as a gift, it has a page where you can fill in TO, FROM and OCCASION for which it was given - a nice extra touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Starting each day well, June 27, 2004

This review is from: My Time with God: 15 Minute Devotions for the Entire Year (Hardcover)

A beautiful book that my wife and I read to each other early every morning in the sunroom to start the day well before we read the newspapers and have coffee. The New Century translation is superb, the best I have ever come across. So understandable. The accompanying short daily reading from a contemporary author frames the biblical experience in everyday terms. Perhaps my favorite is that by Richard Foster on forgiveness that accompanies the reading on Acts 10:23b-48. What a relief to read sacred scriptures from the old and new testaments and be able to relate to them. I feel blessed in having this little book.

This review is from: My Time with God: 15 Minute Devotions for the Entire Year (Hardcover)

I recently had an illness and turned my life over to God.
I had been wanting to do that for a long time, maybe that was God's way of telling me it was time to be saved so I was.
Anyhow I wanted to learn God's word but didn't know if I would read the bible everyday and this seemed like a good way to do it. Now I can't wait for my daily reading! I have only been reading it for a week and a half but it has taught me many things in this short time. It has been full of inspiration and maybe a few surprises. I actually feel myself becomeing a better person everyday because of this. Maybe that was God's way of bringing me closer to him? Also I looked around the internet at several daily readers and I am glad I chose this one.
I would recommend this to anyone. Happy Reading.
