5.0 out of 5 stars The best BIBLE devotional that I have EVER found!, August 3, 2005

This review is from: Search the Scriptures: A Three-Year Daily Devotional Guide to the Whole Bible (Paperback)

I have been a born again believer now for over 22 years, and have continually failed to maintain a consistent, daily walk with Christ through reading the Bible..I was fine with joining Bible studies, or just hearing the Word on Sunday mornings, but have always struggled by finding anything that was relevant and easy to understand on a daily basis.....until this book. This book will change my life by allowing me to DAILY read the scripture and applying its truths to my life!

This guide is simple..it allows you to go through the ENTIRE Bible in three years...each day is only 10-20 verses and only asks 2-3 RELEVANT, meaningful questions. Each study can be done in as little as 30 minutes, but you go away feeling like you have really understood the passage and can now apply it to you life.

Believe me, it is worth every penny....you will reap so many rewards by just spending this DAILY, PERSONAL time with Jesus!

This review is from: Search the Scriptures: A Three-Year Daily Devotional Guide to the Whole Bible (Paperback)

I have just started year three of "Search The Scriptures (Jan 2005)." This book helps you get into the Word every day (and that is a good thing).
Most of the studies take about 20 minutes and are designed for a daily, relatively quick study of God's word.

Over the past several years, I have read the bible cover to cover - each time over the period of a year. While each time proved to be enlightening and an accomplishment, I yearned for a deeper understanding of what I was reading.

Search The Scriptures has done just that walking me through the entire bible over a three-year period.

As a Christian, I should be reading my bible daily.
However, many Christians simply don't take the time. This book will help you find the time and help you delve deeper into God's word. While Search The Scriptures is not a perfect book (some of the studies are simply too quick), it accomplishes its goal by getting you to read your bible daily. Order it and follow the daily studies. You'll find yourself getting to know the Holy God much better.

This review is from: Search the Scriptures: A Three-Year Daily Devotional Guide to the Whole Bible (Paperback)

Now that I'm almost through "Search the Scriptures" (about 6 months left), I thought I'd share a quick review. I highly recommend this study to anyone. It does not tell you what you should get out of each day's reading, but guides your thinking by simply asking questions. It has led me through parts of the Bible I might not have studied in any depth on my own and has given me new insights into God's Word many times over.

It's a big commitment, but it has the added benefit of building up good daily habits of reading the Bible and journaling your thoughts. I'm going to miss it when I'm done!
