Have you ever read the entire bible? When someone asked me that question years ago I blushed. I felt guilty for not reading the entire bible, but MERCY! It’s a difficult book to wrap your mind around, am I right?
What If the bible read like a storybook ? Would you read it? Good news! The Chronological Bible does just that. Unlike your everyday bible and mine, the events are written in the order they happened. This wonderful format helps you read and understand the bible as if you were reading a great novel. In fact, the bible is the greatest story ever told (and written.) It’s exciting that someone developed a time line of bibical events that paints God’s story. That’s not all.
The Word of God teaches us who God is, why we are here on Earth, and the meaning of life. If those questions have ever entered your mind, then you’ll find what you’re looking for in God’s Word. I know did.
I began reading my bible shortly after I was widowed in my early twenties. I’ll be honest. I didn’t pick up the Word of God to know Him better or for any spiritual reason. At the time, I was interested in the bible because I had questions—questions about why God allows loved ones to die.
As I sought understanding and comfort, God didn’t disappoint. Soon my relationship with God deepened. My trust level grew to new heights. My broken heart began to mend. I learned things about God, and about myself, I would have otherwise never known. That’s not all. I fell in love with God’s Word.
So when my church offered to read through the bible using The Chronological Bible, I was all in!
What a beautiful picture played out in my mind as I read the bible in order of events for the first time. It’s a picture of God’s love toward us, and His willingness to provide a way back to Him no matter how far we stray.

Merry Christm
My precious daughter sent me your devotion “YOUR NOT ALONE” this morning Dec. 24, 2014, Christmas Eve. I had just shared with her the other day how hurt and alone I have
felt ever since my dad passed on two years ago. I lived with mom and dad and took care of them the last two years before my dad passed. When my dad passed m y brotherand his wife moved in and I moved out. My dad and I had a very special relationship. Just two years before that my. husband wanted a divorce. We were a husband and wife preaching ministry
My two boys live in another state. My one daughter hasn’t been to my house in four had years due to her anxiety disorder. My youngest daughter, the one who sent me the devotion, just had a new baby and has their own life, so I’ve been so alone and now live alone. I hate it! No one to spend Christmas with. I haven’t had true joy or life since. There has been many many other things happened that has drained the life and joy from meSo. your devotion spoke right to where I am. It does seem God is so far away which intensifyies the feeling of aloneneess. And you are right, all diffently doest seem all is well. I was just told by a friend to speak Emanuel when I feel alone. I’ve tried that. So thank you for this very much needed devotion that spoke exactly where I am today and pray that I too will find His presence once again. I’m as down and disheartened as you can imagine. please keep me in your prayers right now. Thank you again. Renita

I recieved your devotion “Your Not Alone” this morning through Proverbs 31. My Husband and I misscarried our first child at the end of April. We were 10 weeks pregnant. I was due November 23, so we were expecting to have a 1 month old for Christmas. Needless to say the holidays this year have been a struggle. I have been reading my Bible on an app on my phone but God still seems so far away. Thank you for your words of encouragment. They reminded me that my God is and has always been right here next to me. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
