Matthews
goes through the entire Bible in this devotional. She highlights
major events and characters, gives some background, and includes
practical application. She also discusses some topics as they come up
in the Scripture.
This
is not a theologically deep devotional. It would make a great choice
for someone new to the Bible, who would like to have an overview of
its story. As a seasoned Christian, I benefited from it too. It was
good to be reminded of the stories I've read before but with some new
insights given.
We
are encouraged to read through the Bible in a year. If that is
something you have tried but have not been successful in doing, this
devotional would make a good alternative.
