If your weekdays are anything like mine - waking up to a screaming baby with the rest of your "free time' spent as a commuter - the idea of 15 minutes of quiet time with pen, pad and Bible at hand is simply absurd.

That's why The Daily Reading Bible has utterly revolutionised by daily walk with Christ. 

The secret is deceptively simple: the format. Everything you need - the Bible reading text, study notes, cross references, questions and prayer tips " is wrapped in one short, easy-reference entry.

No more juggling study notes and Bible means I can now realistically steal some quality time with God while waiting on a train platform or packed standing shoulder to shoulder with fellow commuters.

I have one minor gripe. Some of the studies on Zechariah took me well over 20 minutes.

Shorter readings and better pointers are needed to swallow such tough passages in a manageable time frame.
