Review Quotes

"If you're open to hearing God's voice in your life but a little daunted by the task of reading the entire Bible in a year, this book is a practical and stimulating approach. In each week's readings, the author uses clear language and headings, highlights imaginative suggestions for family discussion and action, and brings an infectious appreciation of the Bible's vital insights." --Dr. Christine Hoffman, writer, educator, and lay preacher

"There are many ways to study the Bible. It takes far more than a year to cover even a few of them. But it all begins with making a personal connection to these amazing books. That is what Wes Bixby enables families to do. This is a book that will enable families to learn more about the Bible, grow in appreciation of each other, and create a foundation for faithful living and loving. It's a big task. But with Wes's gentle and insightful guidance, it's an exciting adventure!" --Jeffrey D. Jones, retired director of ministry studies at Andover Newton Theological School, author of Parenting with Love and Laughter

"Wes Bixby has made reading the Bible in a year an engaging journey, exploring the Bible's obvious and not-so-obvious stories and messages for us today. No longer will reading the Bible in a year feel like a challenge to be met, but an opportunity to be relished. Wes' personal reflections, honesty, and soul-searching questions invite us to see the Bible as an amazing resource for personal and interpersonal growth. Any family that takes this opportunity seriously will be changed at the end of the year. This is a wonderful resource for families of all shapes and sizes." --Rev. Craig A. Collemer, D. Min., retired clergy and active spiritual director
