Product Description
Today's world is all about Now--a fast-moving, high-speed, on-demand lifestyle. But has this pace changed how we study the Bible? Our relationship with God is a journey, a walk where we grow closer to Him each day. So it makes sense that reading and understanding Scripture is a continual experience, not just a moment. This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with God's Word. The Message Remix: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or "divine reading," an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for today's students. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to: ReadUncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often cut Bible reading short. ThinkImmerse yourself in the passage as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases. PrayConnect with God through prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with him. LiveTake some time for rest, introspection, or even activity as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day. Features include: oAn introduction to the lectio divina style of study oA topical index for finding issues that impact your life oNumbered devotions so you can start any day of the year oA time of rest and reflection for every seventh day So don't just read the Bible. Get engaged with God's Word and let it revolutionize your life.

 What's Your Excuse? January 5, 2009
President George W. Bush is a book lover. Besides reading through the Bible each year, along with a daily devotional reading, the President read 95 books in 2006. He finished 51 books in 2007 and read at least 40 in 2008. Karl Rove, former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President Bush, reported all of this in a Wall Street Journal column on Dec. 26, 2008. Rove and the President had a little reading contest going over the years. Rove won each year (his top mark was 110 books in 2006). Amazing.
So do you have time to "prime the pump" spiritually every day? Rove said Bush would have done more reading, but he lost the contest "because he'd been busy as Leader of the Free World." What's your excuse?
What books will you read this year? And how many? For starters on your Bible reading/devotional times, you will enjoy the unique format of Solo, a Scripture selection from The Message on one page and a Read/Think/Pray/Live brief commentary on the second page.
"The devotions found in Solo are based on the classical method of lectio divina: reading, thinking, praying and living Scripture with the intention of inviting an infinite, omniscient God into your life--as it is, no gloss, no veneer. Lectio divina is more Bible basking than Bible study," say the authors.
This is my pick for this year. Basking sounds good.
Excellent Devotional December 16, 2008
So far this has been a tremendous help, as having read through the bible many times over the past 15 years, I often feel I don't know where to begin anymore. It definitely takes a bit of submission and commitment, since I would normally not study this way, but I am enjoying the change and direction.
A Quality Devotional November 23, 2008
I have thoroughly enjoyed this devotional book. Using the text of The Message, Eugene Peterson guides us through the Bible, using select texts and a technique that modern Scripture readers aren't too familiar with. I have been inspired, convicted and encouraged by the devotions in this book. While The Message is not my favorite translation, I applaud Mr. Peterson for this book. He worked hard and produced a very good tool for devotions.
This will bring you closer to God! November 16, 2008

I love this book! It's called me to examine scripture more closely in language I can easily understand.
The Best! September 9, 2008

This is the best devotional I have ever used. It is very contemplative and simple. Eugene Peterson draws yu into the scripture like no other devotional. I recommend it without reservation.
