Review: NIV Once-a-Day Bible for Women
Zondervan and Walk Thru the Bible
2011
As the date indicates this is not a new version of the NIV Bible,
but a new edition. This product has been
arranged into a read plan that includes a portion of the Old Testament, New
Testament, and a Psalm or Proverb. Most
of us have seen similar plans. The nice
part of this one is that you do not have to keep checking a list for the next
segment. Or have a series of bookmarks
or however you may have marked the readings for this plan. One set of readings follows the other and may
be started at any time since the days are numbered and not dated.
What makes it for women besides the pretty pink cover? Each day has a reflection that focuses on an
item of interest to women from the daily reading. For instance a reflection I read today spoke
to the worth of women as portrayed in the Bible and in this case Paul,
himself.
I have to admit I didn’t think I would like this
arrangement. What about continuity and
all that? Well, I discovered this works
just fine. In fact it even reinforces,
for me, what the previous day’s reading was about. I was pleasantly surprised.
The paperback version is a comfortable size, the font may be
a bit small for some in which case a Kindle version might work better since
that allows for resizing to suit your needs.
As some have mentioned this is a Bible designed for a particular reading
plan. Finding any reference quickly is
for the standard book arrangement style Bible.
Overall, I liked this idea and will probably continue to use it for my
own daily reading.
This book was provided to me by the publisher in return for
a review.
