5.0 out of 5 stars A great find after a rather exhaustive search, July 7, 2008

By 

Tim (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NIV New Men's Devotional Bible (Hardcover)

I was seeking a devotional that would provide me with a Bible-based approach, be incrementally consumable on a daily frequency, present thoughtful articles and provide questions as well. These criteria were hard to come by. Most books had most but not all of them. I was very pleased to find this for myself.

I read out of this each morning. Most important to me is that I have some level of interaction with the text. I was seeking this interaction specifically in the form of questions that would prod my introspection and feed my contemplations. Thus, answer each of the three daily on-topic questions in a separate notebook. I'm excited to be moving through this journey and I am very happy to have what I feel is a great venue and tool in this Men's Devotional Bible. I am already considering buying a copy for my brother.

I bought this Bible for my husband and one for my brother for Christmas. They both were extremely satisfied and really enjoy reading it. They really seem to like the extras such as little devotionals and weekly readings.
