The Daily Message is a Bible-in-a-Year using The Message version. I have not read much of The Message version before, but I do like it's simplicity to understand. It may not be the most accurate in terms of specific words used from the original language, however this translation means the Gospel is more accessible as it gets the meaning across.
The other thing I particularly liked about this book, was that every 7th day was a rest day for reflection on the previous week - for me, this was a catch-up day, so even if I fell behind slightly, I knew that by the start of the next week I would be all caught up.
The blurb says:
The Daily Message is the perfect one-year reading Bible, allowing for both flexibility and time to let the readings soak into your heart and mind. Arranged into six readings per week, this simple, easy-to-do plan will revolutionize your daily quiet time with God. Features include:
- Discipleship Journal’s “Book-at-a-Time” reading plan
- Inspirational words from Psalms or Proverbs and thoughtful questions for deeper reflection
- Alternative reading plans that allow you to start any day of the year and read at your own pace
If you have considered trying to read through the Bible in a year, but thing the task is too mammoth or the language is too antiquated, then this is the book for you.
