Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The "Couples' Devotional Bible" brings together Bible verses (using the New International Version) with devotional passages from 143 evangelicals, ranging from Dale Evans (wife of TV cowboy Roy Rogers) to Frank Peretti (author of "This Present Darkness" and other best-selling novels of spiritual warfare). Couples who follow the book's plan can read the Bible text and a useful devotion for each day of the week, with questions and activities for weekends and a subject index on topics from adultery to finances to sex to work. Unfortunately, the devotions do little to help readers understand biblical perspectives on marriage itself. (Beliefnet, Aug. 2000) -- From Beliefnet

A Good Start for Newly Engaged Couples,
By A Customer
This review is from: Couples' Devotional Bible for Engaged and Newly Married Couples (Hardcover)
A few months back I got engaged to a awsome Christian women. We wanted to find a bible study or devotional to do togeather. After looking at the different christian book stores there were not alot of choices. I find this devotional bible a good start for anyone who is newly merried and engaged. The devotionals take only about 20 min to do and they have great "get to know you" questions that you can ask each other so you can learn from each other. The bible is a great size to take to college, in the car and to church.

A great devotional Bible for couples,
By rnorton828 "rnorton828" (Riverbend, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Couples' Devotional Bible for Engaged and Newly Married Couples (Hardcover)
My wife and I recently started using the NIV Couples' Devotional Bible for our devotions together as a married couple. The devotions have been lots of fun for us to read and do together. This is the NIV (New International Version) Bible with devotions for each day. The devotions cover a broad range of topics relevant to married couples from sex to money to work to family life. These devotions include both classic and contemporary writings. And the Marriage Builder questions are great for helping couples learn from one another. Zondervan's NIV Couples' Devotional Bible is great for married and newly-engaged couples who wish to study God's Word together and grow closer to Him and to each other.

By HippoMommy (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Couples' Devotional Bible (TNIV) (Leather Bound)
My husband and I have bought many couple devotional books most of which has been read half-through and then forgotten. But this one is a keeper. Not only is it the Bible but the topics covered are very biblical and relevant to us every day. I love that these topics are brought up with meaningful questions with answers that develop into meaningful conversation between the two of us.I also love the date ideas every weekend! This has really brought us closer together and [more importantly] closer to God.
