Description

Kickstart your quiet time and discover the joy of spending time with God in his word.

Beginning with short, simple 5-minute devotions that are easy to make time for, this little guide will kickstart a daily Bible-reading routine. It's ideal for anyone new to reading the Bible or anyone struggling to spend regular time in God's word.

The devotions gradually increase in length over the course of six weeks and offer focused guidance on understanding the Bible. So by the time you finish, you’ll have the skills and confidence you need to read and enjoy Scripture for yourself—and make your quiet time a habit for life.

If you're a church leader, this is a great resource to put into the hands of anyone who says they find it difficult to read the Bible, as well as for giving out at membership classes, baptism classes, or to teenagers attending summer camps.

We’d all love to be one of those model Christians who enjoy their hour-long daily workout of Bible study and prayer. But the reality is that many of us find it difficult to spend even a brief, unhurried time meditating on God’s word and praying. And we can’t go from spiritual couch potato to the Bible-reading equivalent of an Olympic weightlifter overnight. It takes time. Perhaps a personal trainer would help... Enter Rachel Jones. In her eminently sensible approach and with a quietly-optimistic-but-not-in-an-overpowering-way spirit, she guides us through a simple and do-able programme of Bible study and prayer. The Quiet Time Kickstart lasts only six weeks; the spiritual habits it helps us develop can last for a lifetime.

The living God has spoken to us in the Bible, and he continues to speak to us through the Bible. But starting to read the Bible can be a bit daunting. The good news is that The Quiet Time Kickstart walks you through the process, building up your confidence along the way. It does this not by talking about the Bible but by helping you to actually read the Bible for yourself. Rachel Jones doesn’t assume that you know a lot of theology, but neither does she talk down to you. It’s a great little guide to help you put in place some great lifelong habits.

You may feel like having a regular quiet time is elusive. Whether you have never developed the habit, or it is no longer part of your day, this book is for you. Rachel Jones helps us see that choosing to do something little can make a big difference in how we think and feel about our relationship with God. The suggestions in The Quiet Time Kickstart are graciously simple and sustainable, ideal for weary Christians.

“Great for giving to teens”

I think this devotional is great way to get started on the healthy habit of reading daily. Would be a great gift for a teen.
Short passages to read everyday, explanation, application of main thought, and a prayer. There are margins on the side to make own notes. Nothing overwhelming or tedious!

“Great Resource to Get Back to Ready Your Bible Regulary”

In this concise book, Rachel Jones does a great job of guiding readers on how to have a daily quiet time. She doesn't just provide theological context for the importance of reading the Scriptures but also shares practical tips and insights along the way.

Each day, you read a few verses along with a short explanation and prayer about a ten-—to fifteen-minute time commitment. Walking through 1 and 2 Thessalonians ( along with Ruth and parts of Mark), Rachel Jones shows how, by doing a little each day, over time, we can work through whole books of the Bible.

I would recommend this book for teenagers, college students, young professionals, and new believers specifically, as it doesn't overwhelm or place lofty expectations on quiet time. For seasoned saints who have grown complacent or apathetic in their daily quiet time, this book would be beneficial for getting back on the right track.

“Want to start a Bible reading habit? This will help!”

(Review written for 'The Quiet Time Kickstart (ebook)')

As a youth worker, I have a lot of devotional guides for young people that have good journal features, lots of helpful Bible study questions and some explanation of the passage. However, I’ve always struggled with the adult ones and have looked for something that’s a bit simpler to help someone get into reading the Bible on their own. This is a great start and will be a lovely gift to give new Christians in our church, helping them to understand why reading the Bible is so good. Having read my copy, it’ll now be going to someone in our home group who I would love to settle into a pattern of Bible reading on their own, and it’s a really low pressure way of helping them to give it a go!
