Thought Provoking
I received my copy a few days ago. Each day has space for me to write down thoughts or answers to the questions posed. I love this book and I plan to purchase other "A Year With..." books in the future. The deluxe leatherette is better than I expected.

Makes you think.
While reading the "A Year with the Bible, at first I thought that it was going to be hard because of the questions that were being asked. But after a few days I realized that the questions are there for me to think and take the answers with me in my heart. And do something about it. I am examining the bible more. thank you.
