The Living Word is a collection of three hundred and sixty-six daily readings that reflect on the power and the impact of the Bible in history rather than on its content directly.

Diana Severance tells the story of the Bible across time: the challenges to it, its triumphs, its dynamic power and its preservation against all odds. The readings inform and invite reflection, and the cumulative effect is to send the reader back to the book itself with more confidence than he started with. One reading a day for a year.
