Encountering God Study Bible: Insights from Blackaby Ministries on Living Our Faith by Thomas Nelson

ENCOUNTERING GOD STUDY BIBLE

ABOUT THIS BIBLE

Encounter God through the Scriptures as you are guided by the wisdom and experience of the Blackaby family.

The deepest need of every human heart is to encounter God. To meet with God, to be changed by Him, and to become more like Him as a result. For decades, the Blackaby family has dedicated their ministry to helping believers address this deepest need. Now you can learn from their insights to experience deeper encounters with God as you develop a regular routine of Bible reading and study in the Encountering God Study Bible.

The Encountering God Study Bible is the crowning work of the Blackabys. Featuring their trusted approach to Bible study, explanatory notes, word studies, biblical character sketches, historical encounters with lives of exemplary faith, articles highlighting the creative nature of God, and other articles defending the faith, you will be encouraged to see that you can encounter God in His Word--and that He wants to encounter you through it.

MY THOUGHTS.....
 
There are so many reasons to choose this Bible! It's a New King James Version so it will appeal to all who prefer the classic King James Version. The font is easy to read and the words of Jesus are in red, but the real attraction lies in the added features. They include encounter notes, biographical excerpts, character studies, word studies, a Biblical timeline, an index, concordance, and colored maps. So many aids to increase our knowledge as we study God's Word!

This beautiful Bible has pages that are edged in gold gilding and there are two beautiful bookmarks to mark your place. It would be a perfect gift for the special people in your life but it's also one to keep for yourself. The Encountering God Study Bible is a wonderful reference and it's truly a study Bible! I can't wait to include it in my devotion time!

  2. This is a beautiful bible and it would be a true blessing to use in my Women's Study Group and in my Bible Group meetings. This bible has so much to offer and the font is easy on my eyes. May the Lord bless someone with the beautiful bible and may he/she always stay in the Word of our Lord God.
