My Year of Getting Closer to God: A Review of "The Bible in 52 Weeks"
Let's be honest, sometimes diving into the Bible feels like trying to drink from a firehose. I've always wanted to be more consistent with my faith, to really understand what I was reading, but finding the time and the right approach has been a struggle. I picked up "The Bible in 52 Weeks" by Dr. Kimberly D. Moore hoping for a structured way to make it happen, something that wouldn't feel overwhelming. My hope was for a guide that would break things down into manageable chunks, making it feel less like a chore and more like a meaningful daily practice.
Opening the package, it was just a straightforward book. No fancy wrapping, which honestly, I prefer. The cover is a simple, clean design, and the book itself feels sturdy enough to sit on my nightstand without falling apart. It's a decent size, not too bulky to carry around if I wanted to, but substantial enough to feel like a serious study.
Using it has been a revelation. Each week is broken down into daily readings, usually just a few passages. The real magic is the accompanying reflection questions. They aren't overly complicated, but they really make you stop and think about what you just read. Some days, I just read the passages and jot down a quick thought. Other days, I find myself really digging into the questions and feeling a genuine connection. It's surprisingly convenient; I can do it with my morning coffee or before bed. The biggest surprise has been how much more I'm retaining and how the themes start to weave together over the weeks.
From what I've seen in other reviews, most people find this study to be a fantastic starting point, especially for those who feel intimidated by the Bible. Many praise its clear structure and how it makes daily study achievable. Some mention that the reflection questions are thought-provoking without being too academic.
