Verse a Day: the 5-year Christian journal with a Bible verse for every day
A one line a day journal built on Scripture. Each date has one verse and a few short lines for each year. Come back to the same page next year and the year after, and every page becomes a record of how God met you. Five editions, each with its own verses and its own month art.
Five editions · Paperback and hardcover
The same verse.
Five different years.
One Bible verse for every day of the year, and a few lines under it to write what it met in you. Next year you come back to the same page. The verse is the same. You won’t be. Five editions: for everyone, for women, for men, and two for the college years.
Verse a Day
366 verses, one for every date including February 29, in clear modern English. Undated, so you can begin on any day of any year.
