I ordered The Journey
Bible/Revealing God and How You Fit into His Plan from the site that I joined
so I can review books for free. You can check the site out at www.booklookbloggers.com. This NIV
edition of the Bible is very interesting.
The book is published by
Zondervan which I know to be a reputable company. The editors chose 5 books of
the Bible as those that would give the reader a good grasp on what the Bible is
all about. They refer to them as FIVE
ALIVE and include Genesis, Deuteronomy, John, Acts and Romans. There is a page and
a half of “Jesus’ Famous One-Liners”…those quotes that we often might use even
in every day life such as “Do to others what you would have them do to you.”
(Matthew 7:12).
There is a FIVE ALIVE 30 day
reading plan included as well as Book Summaries and Main Themes, Defining Moments of both the Old and New
Testament and many other really neat features. Included in the chapters are side
thoughts….Addressing Questions, Discovering God, Knowing Yourself and other
topics to inspire thought.
Of course the focus is to
draw the reader closer to knowing God and establishing a relationship with His
Son Jesus Christ. As it says on page xviii “You can visit the mosque where
Muhammad is buried. Buddha was cremated, and his ashes dispersed. But when you
go to Jerusalem and visit Jesus’ tomb…it’s
empty.”
I would highly recommend this
Bible for any seeker…someone who is a “spiritual explorer”. You will not be
disappointed.
