Book Reviews of The Everyday Life Bible: The Power of God's Word for Everyday Living
Book Review: A great help in bringing the Word of God to everyday life
Summary: 5 Stars
Since coming across the Amplified Bible about a decade ago in a Christian Bookstore in Sydney, Australia, I have always included the Amplified version amongst my favourite Bibles. Though a little harder to read (especially aloud), due to the system of brackets and parentheses in which additional and/or clarifying words are used, the Amplified is an excellent Bible version for deeper study.
So it was with some eagerness that I picked up The Everyday Life Bible with notes and commentary by Joyce Meyer. Let me say that I believe that most devotees of Joyce Meyer will enjoy this Bible, as will those who may not be familiar with Joyce's work, but who are looking for a solid, reliable Bible text with useful, practical commentary on how to live for Jesus everyday.
What is this Bible like? Well, those who have read Joyce's books, will know that she intersperses the Amplified Bible text within her written words. With this Bible, that practice is reversed:- Joyce's teaching is interspersed within the Amplified Bible text.
Amongst the features are Book Introductions, which include an Everyday Life Principle for each individual book of the Bible. Everyday Life Articles are another feature, some of which have been written especially for this Bible and all of which correspond to specific verses and situations in the text. Speaking the Word shows readers how to personalise the Bible text and apply it to themselves and Life Points and Putting the Word to Work apply the Bible's lessons and text to everyday life.
At the back of the Bible, there is a section called, The Word for your Everyday Life, which is essentially a topical index, where you can look up texts for specific situations and topics. There is a full index of all features, together with a Prayer to receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
The font size is good for reading and the features are tastefully presented within the text. There are also several lined, notes pages at the back for personal notations, prayer requests, etc. Both the bonded leather and hardcopy versions are well crafted and sturdy.
Prospective buyers should note though that this is not a traditional Study Bible in the manner of the Life Application or NIV Study Bibles. Rather, its sub-title is, "The Power of God for Everyday Living" and that is exactly what this Bible helps us to do - bring the Word of God into our everyday lives in meaningful ways.
It should also be noted that both the hardcover and bonded leather versions are large Bibles. The size is suitable for study and going to Church, but are too large to carry in handbags. Some people might prefer a smaller, lighter Bible.
One disappointment I did have was that the usual concordance featured in most Amplified Bibles was missing. The Amplified has one of the best concordances of any Bible, so I was sad to see it was not included. However, the number of pages - 2200 - may have precluded adding the usual concordance to this version.
I have given The Everyday Life Bible 5 stars....the Amplified text, together with Joyce's commentary have helped me to bring the power of God's word more into my everyday living, so it is true to its claim. Another reason for the high rating is that I believe it has wide appeal - even to those who are not familiar with Joyce Meyer's work, or who may not buy her books or tapes. The lessons and notes contained within help to expound the Bible truth and complement the Amplified text well.
