The Bible Recap

I had not heard of Tara-Leigh Cobble prior to a bookstagram friend recommending "the Bible Recap."  Now I am a fan.  This companion to daily Bible reading is just right for those who need a little help understanding what is going on in a passage, but don't want something as heavy or technical as a commentary.  I like that Tara-Leigh progresses through the Bible in chronological order (as opposed to the order in the English Bible).  So the prophetical books are interspersed within Kings and Chronicles, as they would be on a timeline.  Ditto for the epistles appearing within Acts according to when Paul and others wrote them.  This alone, makes the experience fresh for seasoned Bible readers.  

Each day's selection also includes a "God Shot" which is where the author helps us see that all scripture points to the Lord.  The closing phrase of each entry is: "He is where the joy is!"  What a wonderful daily reminder in these strange, uncertain times.  

If you aspire to read the Bible through in 2021, get a copy of this book.  It will be an invaluable companion on the journey.
