I've been reading this for about a year. It should have been exactly a year, I suppose, since there it consists of 365 daily Bible readings with commentary, but some days I didn't read any, and some days I read more than one. I was not consistent.

I have always enjoyed Adrian Plass's writing, particularly his humorous 'diaries', but very much appreciate his more serious work too. In this, a collection of readings that have appeared elsewhere, he covers a wide variety of topics, with passages from most books of the Bible appearing. The subtitle of the book ('for ordinary followers of Jesus who sometimes find the going a bit tough') was enough to inspire me to buy it last year, and I've found it - overall - a rewarding read.

I don't suppose I've learned anything new, but I've enjoyed Adrian Plass's insights, peppered with personal anecdotes and his pithy, ironic and sometimes amusing one-liners. There's also a depth of insight which I found revealing and often helpful.

Recommended to anyone who wants something of this sort. I don't know that I can remember anything specific from the book, but at the time I always felt it was well worth reading.
