Tuesday Tome - The NIV Study Bible

We're getting near to the end of the 2014-2015 Bible Reading Plan at Valley Christian Church. This is the reading schedule I follow while blogging at Useful Breath. It's also the plan many people use in my Pathways Class on Wednesday nights at Valley (which starts up again on September 16).

If you're thinking of reading through the Bible with me in the coming year, now would be a good time to start getting ready. The first step would be to make sure you have a good study Bible. The one I recommend is the NIV Study Bible from Zondervan. I would suggest getting the hardcover edition and a Bible cover that zips shut.

I will soon be putting together the 2015-2016 reading schedule. I invite you read along with me and follow my Useful Breath blog. If you live in the south metro of the Twin Cities, I hope you will consider being part of my Wednesday Night Pathways Class.
