I suppose there are a dozen "Read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year" books out there. A couple of years I used the Chronological Bible in a Year, but found myself frustrated that I didn't get to the New Testament until what seemed like November. So late last year when I came across "Seasons of Reflection," published by the International Bible Society, I decided to give it a try. What a delightful edition of the Bible! For each day you read an Old Testament, New Testament and Psalm or Proverb portion. In addition the editors do their best to present the texts in chronological order (Job follows the Pentateuch, for example).
Since the Bibles are only about $6.00 each (including shipping), we ordered them for our people and sold out several cases. What is even more encouraging -- a lot of people are keeping up with their reading, asking me questions about it, and sharing how enjoyable the experience has been! Over the years, we've tried a number of through the Bible programs, but this is by far the most successful. Hardly a week goes by that someone doesn't comment to me about how meaningful the readings have been or discussed some issue that their study has raised.
