I am currently using the Narreted Bible with deviontional commentary by F. LaGard Smith. It is an interesting devotion. It uses the NIV translation which is a plus for some and a negative for others. One feature that is both a plus and a negative is that it is sorted out in daily chunks. This is good because it gives you a goal for the daily reading amounts. The down side is that is is dated. I don't always start or end a devotion with the new year but you can always ignore that. The other problem is that the marking for each day is rather small and easy to miss while reading. My wife while she was going through it, put it the dates with a pencil to help mark and keep track.
Having it is chronological order helps put things in historic perspective. That's a good thing. the downside is that you go through the entire Old Testament before you get any New Testament. the other thing that is getting to me is getting a lot of Prophetic books at once. That is a problem just going through the Bible on your way but it is sticking out more for me right now.
It still is a neat novel way of going through No perfect way of going through i guess.the Bible even though i am looking forward to skipping around more.
