Each year I go through the Bible and I normally use a Bible plan plus devotion from YouVersion. YouVersion has some amazing Bible reading plans and devotions that have been extremely helpful and encouraging.
This week as I was finishing the Bible in a year the Lord reminded me of an experience we had.
When we first moved down to Honduras, 10 years ago, we were walking through the TSA security line with our four daughters, our puppy and a lot of carry on bags. As we walked through the scanners we noticed a group of TSA agents huddled around the viewing screen as they looked at my bag. They opened my bag and got my Bible out and started looking into the Bible case and the actual Bible. We asked them what the problem was and they showed us the screen and inside the spine of the Bible was a sword! We could all see it plain ad day on the screen, but obviously it was not actually there. When they were positive it was not there they let us go. When they handed it back to me Wendy told them that it was the Sword of the Spirit!
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
We hold the Sword of the Spirit that gives us knowledge and power to fight the attacks and schemes of satan. We have the actual and true words of peace, love, encouragement, and correction from a Father that absolutely loves us with a perfect love. His Word “is alive and active” and the Lord will speak directly and intimately to your heart if you allow Him to. 2240 I've been reading through the Bible from start to finish every year for going on 40 years, and usually I don't review that like other books, but this one was special. Excellent study Bible. I learned a few things I never knew before. I remember how as a new believer there were many things I didn't understand... wishing I had had a Bible like this back then. Highly recommended. 2240 This Bible has everything I love in a Bible. First of all, the cover is exquisite and feels so good in my hands. The beautiful embossing on the top is just striking and the burgandy/maroon color is amazing. The gold edged papers and gold lettering on the spine, make this one of the prettiest Bible's I've ever seen.
It's what's inside, though, that really makes me love this Bible. I love the Comfort Print text because it makes it so much easier for me to read. As I get older, having this type of print makes the text almost pop off the page for me. It creates less eye strain and I find I can read it for a longer period of time, which I love.
The colored boxes that contain Bible Times & Culture Notes are a wonderful addition packed full of information that helps us to understand the culture that we are reading about. These boxes have all types of information and color pictures. I love the visual aides as it's so wonderful to actually see what they are talking about.
At the beginning of each book, there is an explanation page about the book we are about to dig into as well as a colored picture.. I love the information here as it helped me to have a clearer idea of what I am about to read.
Of course, my favorite part are the study notes. They are extensive and very easy to understand. There were several Scriptures I was reading and I wasn't quite sure what they were talking about so I looked at the study notes which explained them beautifully!
I am now using this Bible during my quiet/study time and it has enhanced my understanding of what I'm reading so much! I also love the NKJV so that has been so nice for me as I'm reading. I think everyone has their favorite translation and this is mine. I just love everything about this Bible!
If you're looking for a Bible that will help you in your studies or your reading, this is a wonderful Bible! I absolutely love it and give it 5 stars.
*This Bible was provided to me by the BlogAbout Blogger Network. I received a copy of this Bible to review but I was not financially compensated in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based on my observations while reading this Bible 2240 Obviously, I had to give this book five stars. To be honest, though, reading it all in a year, it wasn’t always a five-star day. Days I wasn’t interested, days I was just going through the motions, days I zoned out. But overall, any time in God’s word is positive and I did read the whole thing this year. Also daily listened to the accompanying Bible Recap podcasts. Those were often helped up to unpack and get take-aways. This is not the correct version of study Bible I read, but close enough. 2240 One of the BEST Study Bibles I have ever used or bought!
This Bible has more notes on more verses than the vast majority of Study Bibles.
It is done in a verse-by-verse (as opposed to paragraph or section by paragraph or section) format in it's notes.
There are many, many cross references to other Bible verses in the notes, so you can see for yourself where the notes may or may not agree with the whole of the scripture.
Well worth getting in the premium, as I hope it to outlast me! 2240
