The NIV Once-A-Day Bible for Leaders (Zondervan)
The NIV
Once-A-Day Bible for Leaders (Zondervan) is just the thing for those wanting
a daily Scripture reading plan made easy and with an added plus: an inspirational
thought on leadership from a key leader.
The 365 daily
reading sections taken from the NIV are conducive for reading the entire Bible
in one year, or to go at a faster or slower pace. The sections are conveniently
numbered (1-365) rather than dated so that the reader can stretch out or speed
up the reading pace of those 365 readings as they so choose. You can read the
entire Bible in a year, less than a year or over several years—as suits your
lifestyle.
Similar to other
daily reading Bibles, each of the 365 sections provides selections from the Old
Testament and the New Testament as well as portions from the Psalms and
Proverbs. But what sets the NIV Once-A-Day Bible for Leaders apart are
the insightful leadership blurbs shared from renowned influencers such as: Bill
Hybels, Blaise Pascal, Ann Voskamp, Chuck Swindoll, J. Oswald Sanders, David
Platt, Teddy Roosevelt, Matthew Henry, Madam Guyon… (Ah, the list alone is
inspiring.)
The NIV
Once-A-Day Bible for Leaders comes in an attractive glossy-and-matt-mix soft
cover. An index at the back provides short descriptions of what can be found
under each of the 365 reading sections. An alphabetically ordered index providing
a brief bio on each author included in the leadership sections is also placed
towards the end of the book. This section also gives the page numbers where
each leader’s portion can be found making it easy to just look up the sections
of a preferred author.
The NIV
Once-A-Day Bible for Leaders makes a great Bible for leaders or potential
leaders. Think: stocking stuffer.
