DISCIPLINE OF A DAILY BIBLE READING PROGRAM (See Books
Available Tab) - Linda has written three companion books to the
ONE YEAR BIBLE. These books were published
by Creation House Press. They were featured in "Charisma Now News
Letter," a news letter published by Charisma magazine. Her first book,
AROUND THE WORD IN 365 DAYS, has been used
as a vital tool to help people who have never read the Bible through to
do so. This book has traveled around the world. It even was sold in
Christian bookstores in Barbados and Australia.
Her second book, YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU,
continues to take passages from the ONE YEAR
BIBLE and also includes a "Daily Deposit" for your
heavenly bank account.

Proverbs and an evening reading from Psalms.

speech. (See Books Available Tab)
