Biblical
study is a lifelong apprenticeship for the dedicated Christian.
Although no book can replace studying the Bible itself, Designed
for Devotion: A 365-Day Journey from Genesis to Revelation
offers a companion-of-sorts to the reader who desires to increase his
or her knowledge of the Bible and dedication to God. In Designed
for Devotion, Bible
teacher Dianne Neal Matthews comprehensively explains the main
stories, people and teachings of the Bible. Additionally, she
provides relevant historical background, Old and New Testament
Scripture correlations and practical applications for the reader to
implement.
I
used Designed for Devotion: A 365-Day Journey from
Genesis to Revelation
by Dianne Neal Matthews as a supplement to my regular Bible reading.
I think new believers will find the book especially helpful as it
hits all the major Biblical events, people and lessons. I liked that
Bible references were given along with each devotion. There were a
few stories that I was not familiar with and it was good to be able
to go to the Scripture and see exactly what it said. Believers with
more knowledge of the Bible can also benefit from reading Designed
for Devotion. Like most
devotional books, to receive the greatest benefit and impact, the
lessons must be read slowly and seriously. Each entry is less than a
page long, so there were times it was almost too easy to breeze
though. However, serious, thoughtful reflection on these lessons and
the corresponding Scriptures will certainly lead any believer to new
discoveries and lessons.
