Read & Pray through the Bible in a Year

A wonderful daily devotional. I love the format. There is a scripture reading and prayer for each morning and each evening. It is easy to follow and easy to read. It only takes a few minutes to read, so it is great if you have a busy schedule! I highly recommend this book. It would make a great gift for friends and relatives!

This is a nice way to spend the year reading the Bible. It provides a welcoming selection of verses from the Old and New Testaments including Psalms and Proverbs. This is something for each day and not just for the morning or not just for the evening, but both. Sometimes these type of devotional books have devotionals or readings and prayers available for any time, but only once a day. Pick what works for you. This is a little different. You start your day with the Bible or end your day with the Bible. This book provides you with something for throughout the year. This is wonderful to help you welcome your day and end your day with God’s Word.

A Reading Plan combined with Prayers and Devotions
"Read & Pray through the Bible in a Year. Morning and Evening Devotions for Women" was compiled by Barbour Staff and published by Barbour Publishing, Inc. The goal of this compilation can be found in the introduction: "God asks you to meditate on this precious gift and to make it a central part of your life. And He promises that if you do, He will make your way prosperous and successful (Joshua 1:8). As one of God’s children, you simply cannot ignore His Word. The more intimately you know the Bible, the more fully you will come to know and love the Author. Look forward to how God will change your life as you read through and pray on His Word this year." Every day lists a passage from the Old Testament, one from the New Testament, and one from the Psalms or the Proverbs. It is combined with a morning prayer, followed by a Bible verse from the listed passages and a very brief devotion entitled "Evening Reading."
The book is presented in a great layout and graphic design. It also contains a Scripture Index which is very useful for readers who search a devotion for a particular Bible reference. I recommend this book for readers (and it can be also used by men) who want to have a little bit more than a stark Bible reading plan which can be also found elsewhere. I appreciate also the fact that the Days are only numbered and not dated which allows readers to start with the book whenever they want. They are not "forced" to start at the beginning of the years which provides flexibility.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book includes not just a plan to read through the Bible in a year, but also encouraging, inspiring prayers and short devotionals. This plan includes daily passages from the Old and New Testaments and Psalms. I thought the morning prayers were a wonderful way to focus your thoughts at the beginning of each day; and the evening reading was a great way to close the day. This book would be very helpful to anyone who wants to read through the Bible, even if you don’t plan on finishing it in a year.

Nice devotional, quick read. Great that the devotional is for a year. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.
