My Daily Catholic Bible: 20-Minute Daily Readings.
Ever read the entire Bible? You can now. Here’s the Bible that shows you how. There’s never been an easier way to read the Bible. You don’t have to start on January 1st. Begin reading on any calendar date and twelve months later you’ll have made your way through all seventy-three books of the biblical canon. And a place for a check mark next to each entry makes it simple to keep track of your progress. Plus, you’ll know exactly where to start in again if you miss a day or two!
This Bible is truly Catholic, as well. Protestant Bible through the Year books use the Protestant Old Testament Canon, not giving all the books found in the Catholic canon, and the _One Year Bible Catholic Edition_ merely adds the deuterocanocal books at the end, but this Bible includes them in their proper place.
Furthermore, _My Daily Catholic Bible_ lists the saint of the day, if there is one, and provides a quote from that saint or a from another saint or patristic source which matches the theme of the readings. Thus, each days readings are prefaced with a spiritual saying the reader can ponder on in connection with the Scripture. The Bible’s editors estimate it takes 20 minutes to read each day’s selections (several chapters from the OT, a smaller section from the NT), but it will take fast readers less time.
This Bible goes through the Old Testament books in the expected order, but one surprise for me was that the New Testament selections don’t follow the usual order. Rather than beginning with Matthew and ending with Revelations, the editor arranged the New Testament readings so that you begin with Mark, followed by Romans and Hebrews, then Matthew, followed by more epistles, etc. before the next Gospel.
