A Terrific Bible Reading Plan

There are many reading plans for the Bible in a year. I find this one to be one of the best because it touches not only the Old and New Testaments each day but also neatly divides the Psalms and Proverbs into the daily mix.
It is a great way to spend time with God.

Discover Rediscovering God in America


Newt and his wife take the reader on a wonderful stroll through our nation's capitol in search of God. Trust me, they find more than you have been taught about the importance of God to our forefathers. God was no passing fancy or the politically correct lip service to sway voters like today's political leaders believe. God was the sovereign rights giver who, in their belief system, was worthy of worship and honor now reflected in the artifacts left behind in our capitol. Newt proves without a shadow of a doubt from the writings, souvenirs, dedication plaques, engravings and even the monuments themselves that our country was not only founded for God's glory but that our leaders actually believed in this fact and lived this fact. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. The pictures were beautiful and the book's layout is as nice as the Capitol mall itself. Can't wait for my dad to open his copy for Christmas.

I blog for Thomas Nelson and this book was a free copy. They don't tell me what to say and they certainly doesn't correct my grammer and spelling!

NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is quality worth reading for the coffee table



NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is a Bible story book with so much more. 250 favorite Bible stories using the actual Bible text from the New King James version makes this book quite unique. These are not paraphrases or loosely translated retellings of the stories but the Bible divided into stories. With a fabulous old school cover this will look great in the family room or on the coffee table. While I would have liked to see an additional scripture index in the back I like the content, selection of stories and the arrangement. This will work very well for family devotions or anyone on your gift list that you would like to introduce to the bible without overwhelming them. I was a bit curious when I ordered the book if I was going to find value in another bible offering because aren't there enough Bibles of various kinds on the market already? Well, I was pleased with my copy and hope to use it in the mix of our family's story time selections.

I received this book free with the Nelson blogger program. Nelson in no way sways opinions from their bloggers.
