My Review:

 

 

This Bible featured key lessons from Pastor Alexander Maclaren and it was very insightful and touched on life applications that can change your life. The Bible I received was a gray and black leather soft but there are different ones available. It was easy to read and the font was a comfortable print for me. It has two bookmark ribbons to make it easy to travel throughout the Bible. 

 

 

One of my favorites discussed if we have the light, then we should be the light. We will become like Him if we choose to live close to Him. We can arise and shine cause the glory of God has risen on us. See Isaiah 60:1. The Redeemer will come to Zion and this passage is talking about Jesus. This is the good news of salvation. I think this is critical to be remember right now with all of the uncertain and chaos we have seen in the last few days alone. There is darkness all around us but here is hope in the arms of Jesus. 

 

 

The Bible contained an introduction to the book of the Bible. It stated who the author is and if we even know who wrote this part of the Bible. There are sometimes confirmations in different parts of the Bible and it lists where we can gain even more clarification on who the author really was. It enclosed the time frame and key verses to watch out for. They had a section covering the theme of the book of the Bible and what readers will get to learn about. There is an inclusive concordance that was pages and pages of helpful information to make it easier for readers to find a specify topic. There were colorful maps and blue boxes throughout the Bible to make it more enhanced.
