I received this bible as a gift and I've really appreciated it. I like the NIV translation, and there is a nice daily devotional that runs through the entire bible. The devotionals have a brief passage to read, two additional passages on the topic and a short lesson. It's not as in-depth as some of the other devotionals I've used, but often it has been just the message I needed to hear. It's also super-convenient having it right IN the bible itself! The downside is that my old study bible had notes about passages, clearing up some confusing parts or adding historical references and I miss that.

One weird thing is that they marked verses about mothers with little hearts in the margin, which would have been nice if they really looked for verse about parenting/mothering. Instead, they simply marked every verse which has the word "Mother" in it, which means verses like "Mary the mother of Jesus" and stuff like that which really isn't about being a mother.

Occasionally the additional verses to read aren't really on-topic, which is a little annoying.

If you are a mom looking for a new NIV bible, this is a good, but not great one.

This Bible is perfect for busy moms who may sometimes find themselves overwhelmed with the stresses and responsibilities of motherhood. Each devotional is a direct reminder that we should strive to apply Scripture to all that we do and face, not only as Christian mothers, but as women, daughters, and friends. The translation, NIV, is simple to understand for those moms who may be new to reading and applying Scripture.

This was the first Bible I purchased, and the first one I read 'cover to cover'. It's written in the NIV translation, which is often called the most popular. It is easy to read, yet has a lot of the 'pretty' language. The devotions are great for new (and old!) moms, and really relate the Scripture to life we (as moms) might expect.

This book is a wonderful addition to new mom or mother to be. There are wonderful passages dealing with mom's and mothering issues and reminds us to keep our head high when dealing with the stress of parenthood!

I bought The Mom's Devotional Bible several years ago and it has completely fallen apart. Despite repeated requests to have it replaced noone will take responsibility. The Bible comes with instructions to not put in loose peices of paper because the binding might be compromised which tells me that the manufacturers are aware of the problem. So if you are looking for a Bible that you can use everyday and one day pass down to your daughter, this is not it. The Bible itself is a wonderful translation and the devotions and insprational pages are lovely so I am very sad that I have had to go over to using another Bible. However, I would not purchase this Bible again until it comes in a more reliable binding.

I ordered this Bible for a friend having trouble keeping up with her older boy, and her infant son. We've shared devotionals before, but nothing as pointed and helpful as the entries in this particular book. I recommend it as daily reading for any mother.

This NIV bible is designed with the busy mom in mind. It has short daily devotions that link our real life encounters as moms with biblical dilemmas. Elisa Morgan, former President of MOPS International, is a fab writer and knows just what moms need to hear on a daily basis.

Every mom should own this version of the bible!

This bible has great mother oriented devotionals in it. They were relevant, well thought out and broad. However, consider purchasing a hard back cover if possible. The paperback cover has not worn well and they became dog eared very quickly.

I love the sections that moms can connect to - other women of the Bible or special affirmations just for mom. It makes devotions and Bible study more enlightening. The reading plan is also very encouraging and easy to follow.

I don't rate many products, just the ones I really like. The devotionals take about 5 minutes to read, but they always touch my heart. The Bible is set up in an easy to read font and size. One added touch is that it puts a heart by every Scripture in the Bible that mentions mothers or mothering.
