The popular One Year with Jesus is now available in the New Living Translation. The life of Christ is presented in chronological order. Great for anyone who wants to grow closer to Christ and learn more about his life.
Okay, I admit that I started this book at the beginning of January, 2011, with the intention of reading one devotion every day for the entire year. Didn't succeed. Book got put aside. Ended up on my bookshelf, where I came across it again a month or so ago. Noticed that the book mark was still in "July". Decided that I should finish this, but since the "one devotion a day" route didn't work for me, I just decided to read it when I wanted to, and read as many days of devotions as I wanted to. That worked better for me.
So it took me 3 1/2 years to finish a one year book. Oh well. The devotions are nice, all focusing chronologically on the New Testament life of Jesus. They are easy to read, and focus on the Gospel events, with commentary and scripture reference. An enjoyable read, that I will keep on my shelf. I just won't make myself ever read it on the book's schedule!
Started this book about the first of February, and want to finish at least one more daily devotional about the life of Jesus. I really like the format of this book of devotions, and I like the NLT for a devotional book.
