While looking through so many threads on this forum, I sometimes come across people writing things like, "wow, I didn't know the Bible said that", or "does the Bible talk about [insert issue]?", or "I never heard that story/person/etc. in the Bible."
It is so imperative that everyone who professes Christ get to know the Words of His Father. I have touted this particular Bible several times before, but in light of recent questions, I thought I could recommend it once more. I cannot say enough about this Bible, it is The Daily Bible In Chronological Order 365 Daily Readings http://www.amazon.com/Daily-Bible-I...d_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222204342&sr=8-2
I first ran across this Bible at a congregation I went to several years ago (and several states away). The preacher at that congregation told me that he had never given that Bible away to someone who wanted to know God's word who had never been able to get through it easily. Althought it says it gives devotionals, it doesn't (and that is one thing I love about it). It summarizes what you are about to read in a gray box and then you read it. It doesn't add a whole lot of personal opinion to the scriptures. Our whole adult class used it as a "lesson book" for the year.
I have since given the Bible away at least 20 times (probably more). Everyone loves it! When I gave one to my father several years ago he put it aside (he has read the Bible daily for at least 35 years probably more). My mother picked it up instead, (she rarely sat down to read the Bible on her own although she faithfully attended services 3 times a week and would do her Bible lessons). She loved it so much that she took it from my dad and told him to go get his own. My mother has gained such insight from reading the Bible cover to cover that my dad has taken notice and wants his own copy now.
I personally have seen with my own eyes how much knowledge people have gained over the course of a year or two reading this Bible. It is very exciting.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy, I have seen it at all the Christian bookstores and even at Barnes and Noble. Right now is a perfect time to buy a copy. If you get one before October 15th you can start on that date and read the Historical Interlude between the Old and New Testament (this is just if you are curious as to what the world was up to during the ~400 years the Bible is silent). Three days later (the 18th) is a wonderful time to start because you can read the entire New Testament by the end of the year.
Okay, I know this is getting long, but I've just got to say this about how streamlined the New Testament becomes. Because this Bible is Chronological, the Gospels are combined so that you get one continuous story. If you've ever wondered how in the world Christ was in the tomb for three days/nights if he died on Friday and was raised on Sunday, or you couldn't figure out just how many women actually showed up to the tomb and when, or just when and where each of the letters/epistles fit in during the book of Acts (and who all these people in Acts are anyway). Then this Bible will make it clear without changing or altering the Words of God (It is NIV which is not my favorite version but it's okay anyway).
Okay, commercial over!
