NIV Recovery Devotional Bible

Rating:
Summary: Very helpful and comforting!
Review: I don't own a copy yet, but I've been using copies from various public libraries for quite a while, and I've really benefitted from the combination of the Scriptures and 12 Steps and recovery principles. I've looked at other recovery-oriented Bibles but was not as pleased with their content or approach as I am with Zondervan's Recovery Devotional Bible. If any one knows how I can obtain a used copy, please let me know. I'd really like to have my own copy.

Summary: unbelievably inspirational
Review: I have had this bible for about 3 years and am currently ordering my second copy of it because I have used it so much it is falling apart. It has brought the teachings of Christ in a whole new perspective for me!

Summary: My Favorite Bible!
Review: This Bible is my favorite bible for several reasons. First of all, it is aimed at people who have used/are using the 12 Steps. While I am not a 12 Step-er, I did come from a highly dysfunctional family. This Bible offers a lot of insight for those of us who have had dysfunctional families, histories of abuse, low self-esteem, and addictions/compulsions. The explanations are wonderful. There are also enlightening daily devotionals to read that guide you through the Bible in one year. If you've ever been scared to read a Bible because you don't think you'll understand it, or you don't think it relates to your current life, then this is the Bible to try.

Summary: Recommended to everyone with addictions and are seeking GOD.
Review: This Bible speaks in a language that all of us who suffer from addictions, can understand. For those whom it seems that AA, NA and other anonymous groups are not enough. GOD is REAL. GOD will keep and substain you. When you can't call a sponser, when their line is busy, when you are in the midst of your problem, GOD is there, GOD is never busy. When the physical desire to use starts to become overwhelming and you feel like you can't say no, you feel like you can't go on, just call out the name of JESUS. The HOLY SPIRIT will do the rest. The is a Bible for you. A WORD from GOD for your life. Where a Stranger can meet a Friend and A Sinner can Meet Christ.

Summary: This Book Changed my life
Review: This edition made the New Internationl Version of the Holy Bible come to life for me. The editor's notes on how passages relate to the 12 Steps of recovery and the guest essays on applying the 12 steps and their biblical principles in our lives are awesome.

Summary: Recovery Devotional Bible
Review: This has been an extremely valuable tool in my recovery process. I am now completing my 2nd year of using it, with great satisfaction. I gave a copy to my sponsor one year ago, he liked it so much he has given several copies to family and friends. My sponsor has found a new and closer walk with God as a result of using this Bible on a daily basis.
