Many people are interested in the stories of the Old Testament, but they find the idea of reading that portion of the Bible daunting. Study the Word in a Year seeks to simplify this process and make the Bible more accessible to everyone. Avery breaks the reading down into sections and proposes a plan to read these sections over the course of a year. To focus the readers attention, Avery provides a list of questions associated with each book, such as Job, Numbers, Amos, and Jeremiah. The questions each correspond to a specific verse within that book, helping readers enhance understanding as they read through each section. Study the Word in a Year offers novices a helpful introduction to the Old Testament and provides even experienced biblical readers with new insights.
