Passages: How Reading the Bible in a Year Will Change Everything for You by Brian Hardin
Through his own story and the remarkable experiences of others, Hardin inspires believers to read the Bible for the adventure it is. In "Passages," he answers questions about reading Scripture, encourages readers with practical ideas, and shows that reading the Bible every day will change one's life.
Goodreads Summary
Growing up Catholic, I have listened to Bible readings very often and can even say that I have read most or all of Bible. I took a class titled “Bible” in high school and attend Mass most Sundays. There was a joke that circulated around my grade and high schools, we called the people who only attended Church on Christmas and Easter “Chreasters.” Now that I am older, I realize that the name is not funny. People who rarely come to Mass are missing out. Brian Hardin’s book is a great way to return to faith and feel good.
Passages is filled with quotes, personal stories, and resources to help people find their way back to God. The book helps you become a happier person and make changes that will improve your life. I believe I am a more forgiving person because of this book. Passages reminds you that you are not alone and gives you tools to improve your life.

I love books that help us and "give us tools to improve" our lives! Thanks for the great review and info!
-
i like books like this, sometimes we need some extra guidance.
-
I have tried on several occasions to read the Bible cover to cover, and while I have read a lot of the scriptures, I can say that I have never made it all the way through. Some of the old testament is tough to sit and read, but I can honestly say that when I have immersed myself in God's Word, it has made huge differences in my life. One word to describe the best change: Hope! Thank you for this post, and for putting a fire back in my heart to go for it again.

This sounds like a great book for Catholics to read. I am glad you enjoyed it. Great review! :)
-
I actually am not very religious, but it sounds really great for anybody who's a big believer in God and has a Catholic religion. :)
-
Aw, that's sweet! I grew up in church too, and I've never left it, but I also know of people who only visit on the big occasions. I need to work on my forgiveness issues, too. :-)
-
I've never realized how important of a role religion plays in people lives until I came across religious books like this that help to improve peoples lives and such. While this is not a book I'm in any rush to get, this may be the type of book that could change someone's life!

What a great review! My husband always gets me a daily devotional for Christmas each year. I'll have to add this one to my list.

- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
