Challenge: If you do not have a Bible that YOU love, your challenge this week is to FINALLY go and get one.
Maybe you are still using the first one that you were given and it's hard to understand. Maybe you don't remember where it came from. Maybe you sit with a list of things you'd like to have in your next one. Thumb index, Commentary, Biographies, Red Letters for the Words of God, Chronological Order, Leather Cover, Another Translation, Large Print, etc...
Go and get it. The more you like it, the more you will be inclined to read it!
Here's my pick (ISBN: 0310434807). The Life Application already includes great commentary, biographies and maps. The simple version with out "bells and whistles" is around $40.00. However, I prefer these extra features: Thumb Indexed, Large Print, Red Letters. Usually the cost is around $89.00 for all of that but it looks like it's on sale for $49.00 right now at this site. Note: The Large print will make your book heavier! But I wanted mine to last a looooong time!
It's easy to spend money on things that fade or get used up. Why not spend money on something that is eternal and will feed you for years to come?
Tips: If you're not sure what you're looking for and you want to compare them; You can peel the plastic on every book in Lifeway. So, plan on spending some time in there! They also have great coupons!
Here's a guide to the different translations in case you'd like to look at that piece before you even get there!
Scripture: Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. - Psalm 119:105
