The Daily Scripture Guidebook is meant to be used alongside your Bible and offers a unique blend of structured planning, commentary, and devotional content.

Recent studies show that fewer and fewer people are engaging with the Bible on a regular basis. Many people want to read the Bible, but they don't have a good plan for how to make Bible reading a consistent and meaningful rhythm in their lives. And when they do try to read it, they find it difficult to understand.

The Daily Scripture Guidebook by pastor, professor, and popular YouTuber Tim Wildsmith will help readers stick to a unique plan that will guide them through the entire Bible in a year, while also providing weekly insights that will help them comprehend what they are reading and apply it to their lives. Each of the fifty-two manageable sections includes a weekly reading schedule, insightful devotionals, and space for personal reflection.

What sets this book apart from other one-year Bible reading guides?

• Insights on scripture from the Old Testament and New Testament, and a portion of a Psalm or Proverb are included in each day's reading to keep you from getting bogged down in certain chapters.
• Checkboxes next to each scheduled reading visually help to keep you on track and motivated.
• Devotional insights illuminate the spiritual and historical context of the scriptures, enriching your understanding and making each passage more accessible and relatable.
• Space for daily reflection facilitates a more personal and profound connection with scripture.

The thoughtful, reflective commentary in the Daily Scripture Guidebook makes it an ideal companion for anyone wishing to undertake the rewarding challenge of reading the Bible in its entirety within a year. Whether you are seeking to deepen your faith, broaden your understanding of biblical texts, or simply incorporate a spiritually enriching practice into your daily routine, the Daily Scripture Guidebook provides the roadmap for a transformative spiritual journey.
