The Bible is an intimidating book, and while many Catholics want to read it, they aren’t sure where to begin. Many have started reading Genesis with the intention of reading the whole Bible, only to give up by Numbers.
Accessible, inspiring, and written from a layperson’s perspective, A Year in the Word Catholic Bible Journal is the guide you’ve been searching for to help you read the full Bible. Meg Hunter-Kilmer has read the entire Bible twenty times, and she has lots of tips, insights, and encouragement to help you make it from cover to cover, praying and journaling as you go.
With an attractive one-page-per-day format, you can challenge yourself to read through the whole Bible in a year or simply take it one day at a time until you’re finished. By the end, you’ll have a journal full of your writings to reflect on, in addition to the relatable reflections already included in the book, allowing you to immerse yourself more fully in the Word of God.
If you’re looking for a book to help your read the Bible, this is it. She has you read different sections daily so you don’t feel like you’re drowning in the harder parts. There’s a page to reflect on what you read each day, and she offers thoughts from the daily readings as well.
There are many studies to help you read the Bible in one year, but Meg Hunter-Kilmer's guide gets you through the entire Bible in one year plus you get to read the Gospels twice. This book offers thoughtful daily reflections for each reading plus space to journal your thoughts. Read at your own pace, go slow, double up, take two years or five years but take some time to read through the entire Bible. It's life changing.
Can I rate it before officially finishing it?! I've not missed a single day for this year, and I'm certain I will continue the rest of this year AND every year going forward. I love Meg's insights and reflections for each day's readings. Yes to this book and yes to everything Meg writes. PS I cannot wait to bring our four kids, and every book I own that she's written, to meet Meg in the coming weeks when she visits Dubois County !! What a blessing!
