THE PICK OF THE BESTSELLERS he Bible is the all-time number one bestseller; T the best book you ll ever pick up. Certainly, there are weighty sections that take a bit of wading through, but it s well worth persevering this is a read guaranteed to change your life! The Bible s pages put you in touch with a God who longs to build a relationship with you, one that is loving, satisfying and long-lasting. Unlike other really good books, the Bible is not ideally read in just a few sittings. Its contents need chewing over, digesting, translating into practical action. You ve set yourself the goal of reading all the scriptures in a year. But be flexible. The aim of this outline is to help you meet God in his word whenever you can spend time with him. If you work through it in twelve months, that s great. But if it takes longer, there s no need to feel guilty. You may find it useful to follow a regular pattern when you meet with God. If so, why not try the one printed on the back cover? It will help prepare you to listen to God s voice, to explore what he might be saying to you, and to respond in prayer and practical action.
