My Review:

This new Bible handbook is in incredible masterpiece featuring the truths found in the Old Testament. This resource contains color pages to capture the audience attention. There are maps, charts, outlines, family trees, word studies, timelines, and much more. Some of these included were the directives to Adam and Noah, differences between Noah and Jesus, the tabernacle and the illustration, job timeline, David’s enemies, Names of God in Isaiah, Kingdom values, seeing Jesus in the Promised Land, and so much more. I liked the one that they did on connecting the Ten commandments throughout the scriptures. It had the commandment, the passage, related to Old and New Testament passages and then back to Jesus’s teachings. I thought this very eye opening and made it easier to put all together. I also liked how they covered how we can see Jesus in Genesis and they compare both. For example, Joseph forgave his brothers and Jesus forgave all sinners. They also did a chart showcasing the women in Jesus’s lineage and a short description of each. I just loved the layout of the book and how they tried to make everything clear and outlined where readers can understand the Bible in easy-to-read sections. I loved how the book was enclosed in a cloth like material to protect it for years to come and there is a ribbon bookmark. It also comes in two colors. This is a wonderful resource to use while you study the Bible to go even deeper. I really enjoyed how this would make studying the Bible super simple and there is even a New Testament Handbook coming out in the Spring.

My Review: 

 

This Bible is a brand-new Bible for 2023 and it’s very unique in the fact that it is focused more on a counseling aspect. There has been an upward trend in how many Christian literature has been published on the topic of Christian counseling. This Bible includes helpful Christian literature that is geared towards exploring upon key issues we deal with on a day-to-day level. Some of these included, moving from fear to faith, sinlessness, controlling angry, addicted to porn, grieving a suicide, divorce recovery, homosexuality, stressed to the max, Alzheimer disease, self-harm, and much more. They are placed throughout the entire Bible to help us in understand more about the times we are facing. They are written from top counselors and scholars in the world. These included, David Powlison, Joni Eareckson Tada, Amy Baker, Paul Tripp, just to name a few. There are about 150 articles presented in the Bible. The book included word studies, maps, call out quotes, tropical scripture index, book introductions.

 

 

I will look at one article to go over. I decided on looking at the what we should do about anxiety. One of the first things, we should do when we are feeling anxiety is to take every thought captive. We need to ponder on whether the thought is coming from Christ or the father of lies. We can start by asking if God wants us worrying about what will happen next. The answer to this question is no he doesn’t. It’s important to fill our minds with the knowledge found in scripture and be reminded of His promises. It’s viral that we ask for forgiveness and keep ourselves free of guilty. This can be a leading cause of feeling anxious. Paying attention to what our internal thoughts and what if questions can help us to deal with them and to look into scriptures for guidance on who God is and how He truly cares for us. This counseling article encouraged readers to write down their thoughts daily to help you apply what scriptures instead declares. This article went over the physical symptoms you may feel when you are suffering from an anxiety attack and the solutions that will assist them overcoming them. 

 

 

I would recommend this splendid Bible to anyone who is seeking a new Bible that contains helpful advice and teaching from top counselors. I really enjoy reading the different articles and I appreciated how they covered the topics that are happening in days times. They didn’t shy away from looking at suicide, homosexuality, sex, abortion, and divorce. Most Bible’s I have seen don’t really like to discuss those topics. I also liked how they included two ribbons to keep track of your process and it made it easier to flip back and forth to study scriptures. It also had wide margins if you wanted to take some short notes and write down your thoughts and it was written in Black font. I also liked how it enclosed a concordance to make it easier to study certain topics. I liked the blue and green colors they used throughout the design of the Bible. It had a fresh new look. It would make a great gift to a fellow student, a new parent, or someone who is getting engaged.
