The Bible Is For You: A Devotional Journey Through Every Book of the Bible by Raechel Myers (ed.) and Amanda Bible Williams (ed.)

Trying new things can feel overwhelming. This is especially true when you are coming into a new faith. Some new believers may find reading the entire Bible to be an impossible task. Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams understand, which is why they put together a devotional that takes you through every book of the Bible in 66 days. 

In The Bible Is For You: A Devotional Journey Through Every Book of the Bible, readers are presented with 66 devotionals, which are meant to represent the 66 books of the Bible. Each daily read takes you on a journey that is meant to leave you enriched and excited about spiritual growth. 

Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams know about the challenges that arise when a person commits to following Jesus. Consistently reading scriptures is the best way to mature in the faith, yet the most difficult thing to do on a daily basis. Myers and Williams created She Reads Truth, an app that encourages daily Bible reading through accountability, to help Christians establish and cultivate a routine that leads them to God’s Word every day. The Bible Is For You: A Devotional Journey Through Every Book of the Bible is an extension of their quest to strengthen the Christian community through scripture reading.
