Daily reading of the Bible is something many people want to do, but find that they do not know how to develop and continue this practice. The Upper Room Disciplines 2005 offers daily Bible readings that help develop the practice of spending deep devotional time with scripture. The daily scriptural meditations include suggestions for prayer and reflection that help readers open themselves to God's love and guidance. The Upper Room Disciplines offers a variety of perspectives on daily Bible readings selected from the Revised Common Lectionary. Each of the 53 writers develops a particular theme for a week's reading. Each writer's work begins on Monday and continues through Sunday. Over the course of that week, readers gain depth insights into scripture and daily life and grow through the daily practice of reading the Bible. Individual readers will grow in their Christian walk through Disciplines, and small groups will discover wisdom to continue to walk together as responsible disciples of Christ.
