My Review:
As soon as I saw this Bible and read the description for it, I knew that it was one that I needed.  Life is busy, crazy and overwhelming at times and often we just need a rest, a time for renewal; this also includes needing a time for spiritual renewal.  This is the focus of this new Bible and one that I am looking forward to working my way through.  This is jam packed with devotionals and notes shared throughout meant to help the reader find that feeling of renewal in one's life.  I have paged through this Bible and read a few of the devotions and essays shared and I am eager to really delve in and follow the reading plan.  This is an excellent choice of a Bible for those whom are seeking to rejuvenate their spiritual journey.
