Positive Thinking Bible

Summary: This Is The Best Bible For Practical Christianity!
Review: Dr. Norman Vincent Peale revolutionized the way we apply Christian principles to our daily life. Peale, in conjunction with the highly enjoyable CEV text, will give you a jolt of life affirming faith. This is the kind of Christian psychology that rescued a more rugged generation of people from despair. We now live in a time where Peale's thoughts are even more applicable. The life lifters, prayers and mini-sermons throughout this text will make Bible reading an absolute joy. It ends up being hard to put down, like a paperback novel. Norman Vincent Peale will always be remembered for his unflagging optimism and his faith in God and the human spirit. He was not a candy coater, he was a realist who understood that God gave humans the capacity to change and grow through Christ. This Bible is another chapter in the God uses Peale legacy. It's now out of print. So, if it's listed here used, buy it. If it's expensive, save the extra money and buy it. It's worth it.

Summary: A Winning Team: Peale and the Bible!
Review: Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was arguably the most well-loved Christian preacher and author of the 20th century, as he did so much to enlighten and motivate our society and culture in the post-war era. His life was truly a blessing to us all. The Positive Thinking Bible was published after he passed on, but the breezy CEV translation combined with dozens upon dozens of comments, prayers and lessons by Dr. Peale sprinkled throughout the text make this one of the most enjoyable Bibles I've encountered in my seven years of ministry. I can share passages (and Peale's corresponding commentaries) with the Bible-weary, and for a change, have them actually *enjoy* scripture studies! Further, as one who believes in a positive and affirming approach to Christianity, I find motivation and encouragement here for myself. I would recommend this version to anyone who appreciates that the Bible is a book full of motivational power. God bless you, Dr. Peale!
