Great Study Guide! September 25, 1998
31 out of 31 found this review helpful
This book is one of the great study guides available. I teach Sunday School and was putting together lessons on a character study of King David, and this book was a very valuable resource in putting psalms together with the various times in David's life. It's King James and that is a really big plus as well (I wouldn't have used it had it been NIV).

If you are a student of the Bible then this is just invaluable. What this book does is, for example, place the verses of 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, and 1 & 2 Chronicles in order. You can see where the books carry redundant accounts and where they're unique. When it comes to the divided kingdom, it separates the histories of Judah and Israel into 2 separate columns. Even more valuable for me is when the books of the prophets enter the picture. Some parts are awkward, as in the placing of psalms at various points in the David narrative, and it's hard to tell if a placement is historical or just based on context. For that, it might have been nice to have references, but that would just have added bulk to the volume and I didn't miss it. Perhaps a companion piece would be valuable at some point.
A great work making the reading of God's word flow. May 23, 1998

What a great idea to be able to read the Bible in the order of events as they happened! For my daily bible reading this is a wonderful joy by keeping the events in order with out taking away from the meaning. I am also impressed that nothing is" taken away from or added to the Word of God".

I am truly amazed at how this little twist on the Bible results in such a fantastically broader understanding. Without corrupting the Word, this chronological Bible has immediately helped me better see the eternal nature of Jesus. It is tough to pick up the Bible without the traditional canonical organization, but I am getting used to it. I particularly enjoy the ability to read the Bible more as a story. My next purchase will be a Topical Bible.
Use your own Bible with Selwyn Hughes' Cover to Cover January 19, 2004

Selwyn Hughes has written a wonderful book that may be used along with this or as a stand alone using whatever Bible you are most familiar with. It is called "Cover to Cover, Read the Bible Through in One Year As it Actually Happened." ISBN: 0805421440. I have compared Hughes' first and second days of reading to the "Look Inside This Book" of the Reese Chronological Bible and they are almost completely identical. Cover to Cover includes an overview of each book (bird's eye view, Biblical context, main characters, special features, how Jesus relates, a teaching, and a verse to remember), a continuous timeline throughout, great maps and diagrams of significant places throughout, thousands of cross-references, a daily thought & contemplation, a daily key reading, a monthly diary page, and is, of course, broken into daily readings so you may finish the Bible in a year. Some reviewers of Cover to Cover lamented that there wasn't a Chronological Bible already available to keep from having to flip around -- that is where Reese Chronological Bible comes in. It really fills the bill! But if you prefer a version rather than King James or can't afford Reese, then Cover to Cover is a complete solution. I love both books!
