Daily Reading

I know the New Year seems like a long way off, but I recommend The Daily Bible In Chronological Order 365 Daily Readings published by Harvest House. In the past, I have used Daily Bibles were you read sections of Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. This book is like reading a novel. Scripture unfolds as a historical record of what happened.

I have struggled in years past reading through such books as Kings and Chronicles. In this book, they are given in context with what is happening at the time. For instance, in yesterdays reading which was primarily from Jeremiah there were sections of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles that spoke of events that happened surrounding Judah Babylonia's captive.

The historical perspective has made for greater understanding in reading.
