Reading Through the Bible in a Year
A Woman’s Guide to Reading the Bible in a
Year: A Life-Changing Journey Into the Heart of God
By:
Diane Stortz
Publisher:
Bethany House Publishers
ISBN #:
0764210734
Pages:
144
Have you ever tried to read through the
entire Bible in a year? Have you ever
used a Bible reading plan to guide you and found that you still could not read
through the entire Bible? I have been
there so when I saw Diane Stortz’s book, A
Woman’s Guide to Reading the Bible in a Year, I was really interested in
finding out if maybe this time there was a guide out there that would get me
through the entire Book. And I have to
say that Mrs. Stortz’s guide is not only feasible but it really allows you to
read and reflect on the Scriptures you are reading.
Mrs. Stortz divides the readings into 52
weeks and gives a little background on each Scripture subject for the
week. After each reading, there are
three questions that are designed to get you to reflect on the Scriptures you
just read. At the end of the book, there
are resources for the reader to use as she journeys through the Bible. I found this section helpful in ascertaining
additional materials to help me understand Scripture. There is also a reading plan checklist at the
end of the book for you to keep track.
In sum, I recommend this Bible reading
guide to every woman. If you want to
read through the Bible this year this is a simple plan that really emphasizes the
reflection and understanding of the Word.
What has your experience been with Bible
reading plans? Feel free to let me know
your experiences in the comments below.
Happy Reading ! J

Lauren Scruggs: A Story of Faith, Hope, and Strength
Still Lolo:
A Spinning Propeller, a Horrific Accident, and a Family’s Journey of
Hope
By:
Lauren Scruggs
Publisher:
Tyndale House Publishers
ISBN #:
1414376693
Pages: 256
In December 2011, a story hit the news
media about a young woman, who was seriously injured in a plane propeller
accident. This book tells Lauren’s story
not only from her perspective but also from her parents and her sister,
Brittany. I found myself engrossed in Lauren’s
story from page one. Lauren tells her
story with honesty and courage as if she is only speaking with you. Lauren not only speaks about the accident and
her feelings but she also gives us a look into her past and shares her belief
and faith in the Lord that has given her the strength and perseverance to make
it through various events in her life.
Other chapters within the book are also
written from the perspective of her sister, Brittany and her parents, Cheryl
and Jeff Scruggs. Lauren’s parents and
sister write of their own worries and struggles with the accident and Lauren’s
recovery, however what really shines through is this family’s faith and strength
in the midst of this life-changing event.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this
book. It is well-written featuring such honesty and really showcases a message
of hope and encouragement that everyone needs to read. Lauren’s story is truly inspiring and is such
a powerful illustration about how God uses us to positively impact others.
Feel free to comment below if you have read
this book or are interested in this book.
I would love to hear from you!
Happy Reading ! J
