This review is from: The Devotional Bible: Experiencing the Heart of Jesus (New Century Version) (Hardcover)

I love the word of God and have perused almost every kind of bible I have been able to come in contact with. Saying that, this is the bible I choose to read daily. Not only do you get a little of everything Max Lucado has written, but the translation is easy to understand while being true to the Word. Highly recommended.

This review is from: The Devotional Bible: Experiencing the Heart of Jesus (Leather Bound)

This Bible is a great resource. Through the studies in it, my understanding of the text has grown greatly. A fan of Max Lucado, the inspirational passages are not only interesting but help apply the text of the Bible in ways that make it more applicable and easier to understand.

The New Century Version is very similar to the New Living Translation. I find it very easy to read and understand. It also reads well if you want to read a "real bible" to your children. They will be able to understand this version much better than many others on the market. I don't like the "watered down versions" of the stories in many children's bibles. My son (2 years old) brings me this Bible and says, "Read me about Jesus, Mommy". He prefers this to his own Children's Bible.

I also highly recommend the "New Believer's Studies" in the back of the Bible. I didn't know this feature was there until I received it in the mail. Even though I grew up in a Christian household as a child, I've learned so much from these passages and Bible Studies. Consider using them as a source of spiritual growth.

The different studies in this Bible can keep even the most avid Bible readers busy for quite some time. It contains many additions that provoke not only contemplation but actions as well.

This would make a great gift for any Christian, and the leather bound addition is perfect. It's sturdy, fits in traditional sized "Bible Holders", and is traditional in it's look. It would work well as a wedding gift or any blessed event.

5.0 out of 5 stars Experience Jesus!, November 30, 2004

By 

Terry (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Devotional Bible: Experiencing the Heart of Jesus (New Century Version) (Hardcover)

The Devotional Bible will change your life! This revision of the Inspirational Bible is well thought out and user friendly. The text is that of the New Century Version which is easy to read and talks to the heart. New features include Christ Through the Bible and New Life In Christ articles as well as revised Life Lessons found in side columns by the text. Max Lucado is the General Editor and many of his writings are quoted. If you are looking for a detailed study bible with thousands of notes this is not the choice for you. However, if your heart is hungry for God and you want a Bible that highlights the text and applies it to life the Devotional Bible is an excellent choice. You will experience Jesus as you read!
