God Sightings: The NLT One Year Bible

I started last year with intentions of reading the bible all the way through. I can’t say that happened. It’s a new year and I’m trying it again. One of the goals I listed in my post yesterday was to dedicate time to reading the bible and stick with it. I’m clearly not a morning person, so the appointed time will be in early evening. My goal is to transition better from my daytime activities to night time by allowing time to re-energize me.

I received a copy of God Sightings – The One Year Bible last fall and started reading it. The New Living Translation (NLT) is an enjoyable version of the bible to read. Each day there’s a reading from the Old Testament, the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. That’s a lot of reading, but I like it because I have never really read through all the Psalms before, still have read through the prophets either.

There are a lot more resources included with this Bible. I just registered on the God Sightings website at http://www.mygodsightings.com/.
