I was in college the first time I read through the Bible in a year. An Old Testament reading, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. It’s hard to say how well I understood it, but the box was checked. Read through the Bible in a Year was marked off the bucket list.

Until 2015, when I began again. This time, I set out to read the Bible chronologically, using a New Living Translation Bible I’d picked up at a garage sale. That started something. I formed a Facebook group to read the Bible with me this way, and we’re now in our 11th year. It’s good to develop a habit of reading the Bible every day, and for me, reading it chronologically gave me the necessary context to see common threads, and better see how God has been at work since, well, the beginning.

I love what this One Year Bible for Women has done. Readers will read it the way I did originally; Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. Very tastefully, there are these 100-word devotions interspersed throughout the holy scriptures. These are written by Misty Arterburn, an author, speaker, Life Recovery group facilitator, and mother to five children.

Here are a few sentences from one devotional example:

This 365-day format means women could finish the Bible in one year in as little as 15 minutes a day.

Again, here are the higlights:

• Daily readings from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs
• 100-word daily devotional thoughts written by Misty Arterburn
• The accurate and understandable New Living Translation (NLT)
• Makes a great gift for couples or individuals
• Two-column format with daily passage references in bold font

The One Year Bible for Women can be paired with the One Year Bible for Men, making these Bibles a great resource for couples’ devotional experiences. If reading the Bible in a year has been daunting to you, reading a Bible organized with daily excerpts can be very helpful. What a lovely gift for the women in your life. Plus it’s on sale now!
