An innovative new way to read the Bible. The Bible is the most influential book in the history of western culture, and has exerted a formative influence on the English language. Yet how many of us have read it all the way through? This new edition enables everyone who has previously been put off reading the Bible to share in the riches of this enduring text. It divides the Bible up into short daily readings designed to take up only 5-10 minutes every day, spread over a period of two years. The translation used is the modern and respected New Revised Standard Version. * short daily readings of 5-10 minutes a day * you can start on any day of the year * days are numbered, rather than dated, so that you can miss days without having to catch up with the reading schedule * passages from the Old and New Testaments are interspersed with Psalms and Proverbs to provide variety * the pages are laid out simply and attractively to make reading easier * a bookmark is provided with the paperback, and a ribbon marker with the hardcover * a table is included to guide you to the readings appropriate for Christmas, Easter and other special days
