5.0 out of 5 stars Real men will love this !, June 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NIV Mens Devotional Bible (Leather Bound)

This Bible doubles as an inspirational book that gives men the direction to lead their lives as Christian soldiers. I loved the articles written by men on how to be better fathers and husbands. I was given this devotional Bible by a friend and I am now ordering three copies for my friends. You will never regret having your own copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource, January 5, 2005

By	South Dakota Farmboy "sdfarmboy" (Avon, SD USA) - See all my reviews

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

In the summer of 1994 I received the original hardcover version of the NIV Men's Devotional Bible through a book club. I hadn't intended to use it myself, rather I thought that it might make a nice gift for a friend. After I started going through the daily readings and the accompanying devotions, I decided to keep it for myself. Although I've been a Christian for many years, I've always found it to be beyond my level of self-discipline to continually practice the habit of daily Bible readings; using this Bible, I changed that. Although it still took me nearly two years to read through the one year of devotional readings, for me that was infinitely better than any other daily devotional books or Bibles, none of which I have ever finished. Since that time, I am now going through it for the third time.

I can't say enough about how this edition of the Bible has changed my life. The Bible will change anyone's life, if that person is willing to read it and meditate on what it says. This Bible edition, for the first time, helped me to do that on a daily basis. Since I started reading it, I have given it as a gift to nearly every male friend of mine, always in the hope that they will gain from it some of what I've received.

If you'd like a good taste of some of the better devotionals, and if it's possible either to find them on-line or at your local bookstore (Walmart used to carry it, even), I'd especially recommend looking at the devotions in Song of Songs (aka "Song of Solomon"). The beauty of the devotional writings is their depth and breadth, which is incredibly diverse. While there have been some readings which did little to challenge or encourage me, I'm more impressed by how many actually did.

The best recommendation that I can give for this book is this: Any male Christian who uses this Bible as a devotional tool, reading and meditating on the daily Scripture readings, will grow to know, love, and obey God in a deeper sense. I believe that those who know me would agree that God has used this in my life to make me more loving and sensitive, as well as more assertive and outspoken about my faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent devotional for men., January 26, 2002

By	Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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

As I struggle to renew my faith and walk with the Lord Jesus, I find this devotional Bible an excellent way to start and end the day. It's comforting how each daily devotion seems to address deeply personal issues regarding my feelings and concerns regarding being a better husband, father, and, most importantly, a better Christian. Highly recommended.
