                      Information about the Bible

                      “The One Year Chronological Study Bible” arranges the Scripture in the order of its historical events, enabling you to read the story of the Bible from beginning to end in 365 days. Divided into 14 historical eras – from creation to the story of Israel to the Resurrection and the new Earth – the Bible’s magnificent narrative unfolds with greater clarity and power as you engage with each day’s reading. With study notes and devotional questions each day, you’ll see the unfurling of God’s work among his people. Even better, you’ll also see your place in God’s grand story.

                      Key features include:

                        • 365 daily readings in chronological order
                        • Daily introductions
                        • Daily discovery questions for personal reflection and application
                        • Easy-to-follow 14-era format with era overviews
                        • Articles on biblical themes
                        • The clear and accurate New Living Translation
                        • Offering the One Year format in historical order and enhanced by in-depth notes, “The One Year Chronological Study Bible” is perfect for both daily devotions and deep engagement with the Word of God. Let this Bible help you get to know God’s story in a whole new way!
