The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament - A Tyndale Review

I received The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament as a complimentary gift from Tyndale House Publishers.

The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament by Nancy Guthrie is a one-year devotional. The copy I'm reviewing is paperback and 386 pages long.

If you've seen the Bibles that take you through one year, this is just like that--but on a devotional level. One page is devoted to a day of the year. Each devotion covers an aspect of Jesus that is discovered in the Old Testament.

In the back of the devotional book is a schedule that shows what scripture you are to read for each day. I wish this was included on the devotional page itself, because the scripture index is not categorized by date, but by scripture. That means that I have to scan down each page to find the date so that I know what scripture I'd be reading for that particular day's devotion. Kind of confusing, but not horrible.

The following versions may be found being used in the devotions: NLT, NIV, NIrV, NKJV, KJV, ESV, NASB.

This would be a nice book for folks who enjoy reading devotionals.

Here's the run-down of what I think of the book:

Ease of reading ..................... 4/5
Supporting Details ................ 4/5
Sufficient Length ................... 5/5
Ability to hold my interest ... 4/5
*Organization of material ..... 4/5
Overall Impression ........ 4/5

*Specific to non-fiction reviews.
