The Daily Bible Devotional

From the creator of the bestselling and beloved Daily Bible® (more than 1 million copies sold) come 365 devotions that lead readers on a provocative chronological pilgrimage through Scripture—this time in trade edition. Readers can explore the riches and relevance of biblical stories, promises, and wisdom as they discover:



*the commitment of ordinary people from Noah to Nathanael


*the faith and folly of heroes such as Abraham, Solomon, and Peter


*the power of prayer from the lips of saints and sinners


*the depth of trust exemplified by Moses, Deborah, and Mary


*the challenge of Jesus’ teaching to reach for a higher standard


F. Lagard Smith’s observations and insights about the Bible provide readers with a rich experience. Whether read as a complement to The Daily Bible® or as an independent journey, these remarkable meditations reveal the purpose of a life built on God’s Word.

My thoughts:

I haven't read the whole way through this devotional, but I like what I have read. The devotionals are based on the Bible, in order of the books of the Bible, so this devotional might be best used either with the Daily Bible, or used when reading through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

The devotionals go from January 1 to December 31, and each devotional starts out with a verse, or verses, then goes on to address the verse, and then goes on to show what that verse means for us. If you're looking for a Bible-based devotional that is intended to go along with a daily Bible reading plan, then this devotional is for you.
