In The Bible Recap, a one-year guide, Tara-Leigh Cobble is a wonderful guide to help readers to go through the entire Bible within a year. She begins by sharing how she struggled with reading the Bible. She felt reading the Bible was challenging and sometimes she had a lack of desire. She realized that she was making three mistakes. She was seeking the Bible for her own personal reasons to feel like she was doing good and following proper morals. She shared how was kept looking over the same passages again and again and would discard the rest. She described it as jumping in a movie and seeing only five minutes of it. It’s impossible to truly comprehend everything. She decided to read the entire Bible chronologically and to see the Bible in the full context to better understand it. She will take readers through the scriptures as they happened. She explained how she would read the Bible and start to ask questions such as, “what does the Bible say about the passage, what does God reveal, what he hates, what attributes are displayed”, just to name a few. Her approach to the Bible is she wanted to focus more on the character of God. This is where she got the idea to include a God’s Shot session on each day to make it easier for us to see more of who God is. Readers are meant to read the scriptures first, then to read the summary and highlights of what the verses were about.
I would recommend this awesome book written to guide readers through the whole Bible. I immensely enjoyed reading the summary and highlights of the passages and how she went in order chronically and not just the chronically order of the Bible chapters. It helped to see the whole picture of what the Bible is all about. I liked how she enclosed the God’s Shot and I thought these really helped to understand more of God’s character. Some of these included how God is making us righteous, how He is faithful, sovereign, goodness, and much more. I liked how they put a blue ribbon in the book to make it easier to read and bookmark your spot. This is an incredible resource to use to study the Bible and gain more knowledge about who God is and His character. I have ready and use some of the other resources in this series and she does a great job at making the Bible simpler to read.
"I received this book free from the publisher, Bethany House/ Chosen for my honest review.”
