One of the great relationships with publishers I've formed is with Bethany House, a Christian Publishing House. They have a lot of "Amish" titles, which I fell in love with when I was driving the truck - so I jumped at the chance to partner with them and review their books! Most recently, they sent me A Woman's Guide to Reading the Bible in a Year: A Life-Changing Journey Into the Heart of God by Diane Stortz .
Now, reading the Bible has been a goal of mine for awhile (it's even on my 101 in 1001 list!) But it's overwhelming. I mean, where do you start? How much do you read? And more important, how do you forge through the boring stuff?? This book seemed like the perfect opportunity to accomplish that goal, so I jumped in and started!
Let me say, I absolutely love the layout of this book. It's broken down by week, with 7 segments (about 3 chapters a piece) and theoretically should only take about 15 minutes a day! (Hey, I can totally give that - even out of my crazy schedule!)
This book also has guided journaling. (I don't know if you know this, but my name is Jac and I'm addicted to journals! Seriously. Addicted. I love them. And guided? Even better! If you need a gift idea? A guided journal is always a sure bet answer for me!) Sure, the questions are simple "What did you learn?" type questions - but great none the less!
If you are looking for a "plan" for reading the bible? This is one that I would highly recommend! (And I've researched a lot of them, in my desire to reach this goal!)
