The Bible in One Year

NIV Bible In One Year (Soft Tone)

I wasn't sure if I should get the new ESV Study Bible or another NIV Bible to read in 2009. I decided to go for this one in the end because it's organised into 365 daily readings, uses Anglicised (instead of Americanised) text and has a nice design. And it's green.

I tried to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation over the past summer but didn't make it due to the lack of time, organisation and discipline. Hopefully this NIV Bible will prevent me from making any more excuses and be well-read over the next year (and many years to come).

The Law of the LORD

The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.

They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

- Psalm 19:7-11 (NIV)
