Life Recovery Bible Review
I bought 2 of these Bibles, one for me & one for my Step-Son. My Step-Son is in rehab for drug & alcohol addiction/abuse. He had seen this Bible while he was in prison and wanted one. I have read 3 versions of the Bible all the way through and wanted to read this one, too. I really like this Bible because it is written in easy to understand, modern everyday language. I love the notes on the side of the pages and also at the bottom. This helps clarify what is being read. This Bible could be read & understood by anyone. It's almost in a storybook version and this style makes it very interesting. If anyone has ever wanted to read the Bible all the way through, but found it too difficult, this would be the Bible to read. I feel that everyone has issues, not just recovering alcoholics/drug addicts. This Bible helps us all to look at our lives and address all issues that would keep us from following the life Christ would have us to lead. I can't wait to read this Bible every morning! It is truly wonderful and I recommend it to everyone of all ages.

Excellent!
Outstanding Bible for anyone in recovery and really, pretty good for those who aren't.

Commentary and reflection on the steps brings out the Spiritual prinicipals of recovery in a way that is clear and brings the Bible to life.

The character studies of Principal Bible characters is great in that it lets you see that people like David, Samuel, Elijah etc were normal people with addictions, dysfunctional families etc., but they still were able to find purpose and accomplish much with their lives. Whenever I am tempted to be discouraged, I find reading through one of these vignettes lists my spirits and gives me hope.

I was tempted to give it a 4, only because my copy has a missing page with a double printed page, but really, if that is all I have to complain about then I've done pretty well.

Use this Bible primarily for personal devotions and reading. Not the best for use at your Church as you'll easily be distracted by all the material present and not pay attention like you should! ;)
