If you like reading the Bible in language that sounds up to date, this is a great version. The great thing about the one year Bible is that the daily doses are just large enough for you to get through the not so exciting material (like Leviticus and Numbers) so that you don't give up after Exodus. It is nice to switch gears from Old Testament to New Testament to Psalms and last to Proverbs every day. You get through Psalms 2X in the course of the year. All the rest is 1X through in the year. It really gives you a sense of accomplishment to say, "I made it." Even if you miss a day, keep going whether or not you have time to go back and read what you missed. Don't let one stumble throw you off track.

If your goal is to read the Bible in one year, this Bible definitely facilities it for you. Its divided not by book but by day. Ex Jan 1 you ready portion of Genesis, a portion Matthew, a portion of Psalms and a very little portion on Proverbs. I like it because it is very easy to read, like 15-12 min making reading easy.

I LOVE THE CONTINUITY OF THE BACK AND FORTH OF THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT.I WAS TRYING TO READ THE BIBLE FROM FRONT TO BACK AND GOT DISCOURAGED A COUPLE OF TIMES.IT IS BRINGING ME CLOSER TO THE WORD OF GOD. WE RECENTLY LOST A BELOVED YOUNG WOMAN OF FAITH, AND HER HUSBAND HANDED OUT A FEW COPIES TO A COUPLE OF SIBLINGS AND I BECAME INTERESTED AND SENT FOR A COPY. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE DONE, I READ IT EVERY DAY AND IF I GET BEHIND, I TAKE TIME TO GET CAUGHT UP AGAIN. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORD OF GOD,IT IS WRITTEN IN PLAIN ENGLISH, EASY TO UNDERSTAND. IS ALSO A GOOD SIZE, NOT TOO BIG, EASY TO TAKE ALONG ON TRIPS AND WEEKEND TRAVELING IF YOU LIKE TO READ IN THE CAR. IF YOU LIKE TO READ IN BED IT IS NOT TOO BIG TO HANDLE WHILE RECLINING. THE LETTERS ARE NOT TOO SMALL SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SQUINT TO READ. IT IS SURELY 'THE GOOD BOOK' TO HAVE. SINCERELY, D.W.Read full review
