5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Version of the Bible + Great Devotionals!, March 31, 2007

This review is from: The Life Recovery Bible NLT (Paperback)

I HIGHLY recommend the Life Recovery Bible. I have been a Christian for over 30 years and the New Living Translation has enabled me to understand the Bible in a whole new way. It was written in such a way so that it flows naturally and can be read easily outloud. I have never loved the Old Testament as much as I do now, after purchasing and using the Life Recovery Bible for several years.

The devotionals included in the Life Recovery Bible are worth buying this book, even if you don't want another Bible to use. I have given many of these Bibles out as gifts to friends dealing with all sorts of issues including depression, addictions, etc. Everyone I know that has one, LOVES it!

This is a Bible for someone who wants to grow and change. The devotionals are inspiring and motivating as well as encouraging. God has used this Bible greatly in my life and everyone I know who has one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enrichment, May 6, 2007

By 

Ima Reader "Lois Clare" (Georgia,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Life Recovery Bible NLT (Paperback)

Anyone involved in a 12 step program can gain so much from this translation and cross-reference Bible. It is very easy to get in a rut and become vulnerable to taking everything worked so hard for right into complacency and failure. The Bible is easy to read and understand in modern English. The cross reference helps keep recovery fresh and vital on a daily basis and gives the reader new ways of sharing the love and growth of recovery with those coming into a new way of living. It has helped me in meditation,with new insights shared with peers and is very important in my daily life now.

This review is from: The Life Recovery Bible NLT (Paperback)

For anyone going through recovery or has spent their entire life "covering up family issues", this is the book to read. It's helped me understand that God is truly a loving God and provide me with examples of how to heal and apply his work to the now.
