Read the Bible in a year - the ideal gift
re:fresh has a variety of Bibles designed for daily reading in such a way that the complete Old and New Testament are covered in a year. Each day's reading takes about 15 minutes.
It's never too late to start reading the Bible. However, if you are looking to use one of these plans, you may find CWR's 'Cover to Cover Complete' appropriate because days are numbered '1-366' rather than dated.
 NIV Bible in One Year has an Old Testament Reading, a New Testament reading and a reading from the Psalms or Proverbs for each day. The Old Testament books are placed in broadly chronological order and the New Testament books are in the same order as they occur in the Bible. So, for example, January 1st covers Genesis 1:1-2:17, Matthew 1:1-25 and Psalm 1:1-6. A time chart and other useful notes and maps are included at the end of the Bible.
This is attractively presented in a green soft-tone finish with gilt page edges and a marker ribbon.
The One Year Bible is The New Living Translation (NLT) in 365 daily readings. This has an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, a reading from the Psalms and a reading from Proverbs for each day. It follows the readings through in sequence starting with Genesis 1, Matthew 1, Psalm 1 and Proverbs 1. For each day there is also a verse or passage in bold text for memorization.
Produced in Tu-tone, pink or light blue, soft cover with a grain finish, gilt page edges and a ribbon marker.
 The One Year Chronological Bible (New Living Translation) covers the entire Bible in a year in the order in which events happened. So the first 9 months are spent in the Old Testament and the last three months in the New. The prophetic books and Psalms are interwoven with the related historical material. The Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus are presented as one continuous account and the letters of Paul are integrated with the book of Acts. Hardback.
 Cover to Cover Complete follows a one-year chronological reading plan, including the full text of the Bible, compiled by the late Selwyn Hughes and Trevor Partridge. It is based on the Holman Christian Standard Bible text. The days are numbered 1 to 366 rather than being dated, so a user can start reading at any time in the year and does not have to do a double reading if he/she misses a day. There is a devotional thought for each day. A timeline along the bottom of each page sets the text in its historical context and charts, maps and explanatory notes are included where appropriate. There is also an associated section on the CWR website featuring character studies, readers' testimonies and other material. Hardback.
