The layout of this book sounds interesting, but it's too bad about the lack of topic consistency. I won't be reading this one, but it looks like it tries to do some things many other books of its kind don't.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It's amazing how the author tried to make a more understandable resource of the BIble. Like many, I find it hard to give the first part of my day to read the scriptures. This book would be a good start for me. Thank you for your review!

About te review I must say it is descriptive, honest and good. I read the initial pages of the book myself though I knew this book is clearly not for me, just by seeing the cover page. I am neither a christian nor a religious person so, I will not attempt to read this book. Anyway it seems as a good book and thank you for the review

I would love to read this devotional book! You have a valid point about the lack of consistency of each day with the weekly theme. I think I could still benefit from it, though.

I have started reading this today and find I agree with you that the writer did not always stay on task with the topic of the week as I am perusing the content. I still think this is a great idea and I enjoy the scripture insights and the personal experiences the writer has shared and love that I can make notes as I grow in grace. Thank you for a great review.

Thank you for this exceptional review. You really succinctly explained the entire book. Thanks for the heads up on the "veering off the subject" issue. Now I can prepare myself for this. Thank you again for your hard work in preparing this review.

Since I am not religious, I take this book is not for me. It is very nice for those who are. It seems like it gives a better understanding of the Bible.

Thanks for your review! I'm not very interested in the subject matter, but I think that readers who have strong religious faith would greatly enjoy this book.

This is a devotional to help a reader study the bible every day, no matter how busy one gets. This book is not for me but mainly for people of the Christian faith. Congrats on book of the day! Great review.
