NIV Once-a-Day Bible for Women

The NIV Once-a-Day Bible for Women has an appealing cover.

This is a daily study Bible. The Bible is designed to be read in 365 days. Each day’s reading includes scripture from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and Psalms or Proverbs. Also included in each day’s reading is a devotional intended, of course, for women. Also included are some maps and tables and a few indexes to make searching helpful.

What I like about this Bible is the variety of material that is included in the daily readings. However, this Bible is not easy to use. There is not an easy way to flip back and forth between the daily readings and the index. If I move away from my daily reading page, I have to flip and flip until I find it again. Also, there isn’t a way to keep track of how many days I’ve read. I would like to have a checklist so I can see what days I’ve completed – and maybe skip around a bit – but that isn’t an option. The devotionals included in each section are basic and don’t seem to be especially for women. They aren’t inspiring or challenging. Mainly because it’s not user friendly, I do not recommend this Bible.  



The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
