This past year I set a new goal for myself to read through the Bible using different translations. I started in January and read through the English Standard Version using a 90 day plan. Then I just finished reading through the New International Version using a 6 month plan. Just as I completed the 6 month plan, I received an email asking if I’d like to review a new Bible! It was perfect timing! So of course, I said, YES!”
Wow, I was blown away. First of all, it’s beautiful! I love the taupe and golden foiling cover and it’s nice and flexible for easy reading and studying, too. There are lots of wonderful features (shared below) and I can’t wait to get started reading this one in the New English Translation.
Do you yearn for life-giving, intimate communion with God?
Created in partnership with Bible Gateway and the Taylor University Center for Scripture Engagement, The Abide Bible’s features include articles, book introductions, and practical Scripture engagement prompts based on five ways of engaging deeply with the Bible:
Praying Scripture: Pattern your prayers after biblical texts, personalizing the prayer and gaining language for the thoughts and emotions you want to express.
Picture It: Place yourself in a biblical narrative as a bystander or participant in important events.
- Journaling: Focus and reflect on Scripture and its meaning for your life, open- ing yourself to God’s voice as you ponder.
- Engage Through Art: Consider a classic piece of art—photograph, sculpture, painting—and let it deepen your meditations on scriptural truths.
- Contemplate: Follow the church’s longstanding practice of reading, meditating on, praying, and contemplating a passage of Scripture in order to experience God’s presence through the words of the Bible.
- Features include:
- Bible book introductions provide a concise overview of the background and historical context of the book about to be read
- 365 Day Bible Reading Plan guiding you through the entire Bible in a year
- Line-matched, single-column Scripture text for improved readability
