If you’ve been looking for a Bible reading plan that feels gentle, doable, and deeply personal, let me introduce you to a new favorite on my shelf—The One Year Bible for Women in the New Living Translation.
I’ve included a few photos I took today so you can see exactly what it looks like in person. My real experience flipping through the pages!
First Impressions
The cover itself immediately caught my attention. The soft teal tones paired with the beautifully illustrated bird feel calming and inviting. It’s the kind of book you actually look forward to picking up each morning. You can see in my photo how elegant and feminine the design is—it feels like a breath of fresh air.
Inside, the layout continues that same comforting feeling. The page I opened to (February 17) reminded me why I love this format so much:
A thoughtful devotional at the top
Clearly separated Scripture sections
Easy-to-read NLT translation
Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs readings each day
It’s structured but never overwhelming.
Why I’m Loving This Bible
One of the things that stood out to me immediately is that you can finish your daily reading in as little as 15 minutes. That means this Bible fits into your real life—your morning routine, your lunch break, or your quiet time before bed.
The devotionals are written by Misty Arterburn, and every single one I’ve read so far feels like a gentle nudge, a moment of encouragement, or a reminder that God truly sees women. They’re short; about 100 words, but powerful.
Perfect for Women of Any Season
Whether you’re:
• beginning a daily reading journey
• restarting your spiritual discipline
• gifting this to a daughter, sister, friend, or mentor
• pairing it with The One Year Bible for Men for a couple’s devotional rhythm
…this Bible fits beautifully.
I also love how the NLT translation reads so smoothly. It makes Scripture feel approachable and warm without losing depth.
