How Reading the Bible in a Year will Change Everything For You

Many Christians feel guilty when they think of reading the Bible. Though they want to love reading Scripture, they rarely have time for more than a few verses on the run. But the Bible is not meant to be a burden. It is the story of God’s passionate love for His children. It is also not a book of mystical incantations. It is a best friend offering counsel and companionship. And it is not a distant relic, but something very near. Near enough, in fact, to be every reader’s story.

So how do Christians delight in this story rather than see it as a source of failure? The founder of the immensely popular Daily Audio Bible, Brian Hardin shows readers how reading through the Bible in a year will change their life and the lives of others. Passages shows readers how to read the Bible and offers practical ideas for immersing themselves in God’s life-giving words. Here readers will discover that reading the Bible can be a breathtaking adventure.

My Review

Yes, I am one of those people.

The kind that has the best of intentions to read my Bible every day, but falls short…. miserably.

This book has given me the encouragement to try again and know that this time I will succeed. I am excited to see how I will be transformed by the written Word of God. I am excited to see how the Bible will come alive to me, how it will speak to me, challenge me, and meet me on a daily basis. Hear God’s voice in my ear and feel His incomparable love.

Wow.

The author is the founder of the Daily Audio Bible where the Bible is read aloud and where a community of people have gathered together to encourage one another and grow in their faith. Brian Hardin, himself, reads various portions of Scripture and covers the entire Bible in a year’s time. His book also includes three possible reading plans that the reader can implement into their own schedule. Whether, reading it yourself or hearing the Bible spoken aloud, there is a tangible power that can only be released in its words.

I appreciated Brian’s honesty and candor and am thankful that he has allowed the Lord of the Bible to lead him as only God can. I desire the same for myself and each one that earnestly seeks Him. That is His promise to each of us and I look forward to where I will be in a year’s time. Where will you be?
