Most people own a Bible. Far fewer ever read it through. This one quietly fixes that. The complete New American Standard Bible is arranged into 365 dated readings, each paired with one of Dr. Stanley's Life Principles, so there is no plan to build and no place to lose your spot. You simply open to today. With more than 500,000 Life Principles Bibles already in print, it has become a daily companion for lifelong believers and brand-new readers alike.
★★★★★ Margaret, 63. i have owned Bibles my whole life and never read all the way through. this year i finally did. having today's date already chosen took away every excuse. it is the first thing i reach for with my coffee now.
Every reading is dated and sized for one sitting, with a principle to carry into your day. Open it tomorrow morning, or catch up on a quiet Sunday.
You already know the pattern: start in Genesis every January, stall out by February. What breaks it here is structure. The date chooses the reading for you, the passage is short enough to actually finish, and the Life Principle gives you something to hold onto once the book is closed.
What's Inside (And Why It Reads Like Nothing Else)
No plan to build and no place to lose your spot. Every day of the year is already laid out, so you simply open to today's date and read.
Dr. Stanley's Life Principles are woven through the year, biblical truths like Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him that turn reading into living.
The full Old and New Testaments, arranged to carry you through the whole story of Scripture across twelve months.
The New American Standard Bible is one of the most literal word-for-word translations available, faithful to the original languages and clear to read.
Dated readings sized for a single sitting. It is designed to be opened every morning, not admired on a shelf.
You read God's Word itself, in full, not someone's summary of it, with just enough guidance to keep you moving and applying it.
The Difference Between Owning a Bible and Actually Reading It
Not another book about faith. The whole of Scripture, dated day by day, with a principle to carry, the exact structure that turns good intentions into a daily habit.

You Finally Read It Cover to Cover
365 readings, one a day, carry you through the entire Bible in a year. No more starting in Genesis every January and stalling by February.
A Principle You Can Live Out Today
Each day connects Scripture to one of Dr. Stanley's Life Principles, so the Word does not stay on the page. It follows you into the day you actually have.
The Habit That Actually Holds
Dated daily structure removes every excuse. There is no plan to maintain and no spot to lose. You open to today and you read.
Word-for-Word Accuracy You Can Trust
The NASB stays close to the original Hebrew and Greek, so what you read each morning is Scripture rendered with care, not paraphrase.
Readers Who Finally Stayed in the Word
Retired teachers, deacons, grandparents, new believers and lifelong listeners. What they share is a year they finally spent in Scripture.
"i finally read it all the way through"
i have owned Bibles my whole life and never once read all the way through. this year i finally did. having today's date already chosen took away every excuse, and the little principle each morning gave me something to hold onto. it is the first thing i reach for with my coffee now.
"the daily principle changed my mornings"
the daily principle is what changed it for me. i was reading scripture but not carrying any of it into the day. now i read the passage, sit with the principle for a minute, and it stays with me at work. mornings feel different. i keep recommending it to the men in our group.
"i bought four, one for each of my children"
bought one for myself and three more for my children. the dated readings mean nobody has to figure out a plan, they just open it. my whole family is reading the same passages now and it has given us something to talk about on sundays. worth every penny.
"first reading plan that ever held"
i work long hours and every reading plan i tried fell apart by week two. this one held. it is already sorted by date so i never lose my place, and the readings are short enough that being tired is no excuse. first time in my life i have kept it up past a month.
"steady ground in the hardest year"
this past year was the hardest of my life. opening to the day's reading each morning became the steady thing i could count on when nothing else was. the principles met me right where i was. i do not have words for how much comfort this has brought.
"like sitting under his teaching again"
i listened to Dr. Stanley on the radio for the better part of thirty years, so this feels like sitting under his teaching again. the NASB is the translation i trust, and having it laid out by the day is exactly what i needed at this stage of life. it lives on my nightstand now.
"it told me exactly where to start"
someone gave this to me when i was brand new to faith and did not know where to even begin. being told just read today's date was the permission i needed. i have learned more this year than i thought i could, and now i give it as a gift to anyone starting out.
