NIV Life Journey Bible

The NIV Life Journey Bible combines the popular NIV translation with thoughts, reflections, and notes from Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend. When looking for a new bible I feel that it is important to know who is giving the devotional thoughts. Townsend and Cloud are the authors of the very popular book, “Boundaries”. I feel that it is also important to realize that while these men are very popular authors they are just men who have their own opinion formed by their own experience and they are inherently flawed. So use their insights to help guide you to your own conclusions. Now about the book itself; Spread throughout the Bible are hundreds of short, half-page insights, over 30 character profiles, and 20 longer essays focused on emotional health, spiritual insight, and Christian growth. These are useful to give insight into the passages that you are reading and to deepen the text and its application to your own personal growth. This edition also catalogues recommended places to look in the Bible regarding various issues such as addiction, bitterness, or pride. Over all this is a good Bible to have on hand. The text is the NIV, which is one of the most trust versions of the bible. The additions are good and will make you think also the index in the back is very user friendly and allows you to find information quickly for particular subjects.
