I started reading bibles in depth 3 years ago, and I have purchased just about every translation and study bible in print. I was looking for God, for healing, for insights into what it really means to be a Christian, how to find release from the bondage of addictions and idolatry of any sort, and how to grow spiritually.
I purchased this bible in August 2002. Since then, I have found answers in it that no amount of personal or group bible study using other bibles, Christian radio, professional counseling by therapists or pastors, church attendance, or prayer have given me.
Almost every page has foot-notes, devotionals, in-depth comments, which teach about addictions and how to gain freedom, details about the road to recovery, all within a Christ-centered framework using the 12 Alcoholics Anonymous steps.
You can look up just about any life-experience topic in the excellently organized index/concordance in the back of the Bible, to focus on passages which help you understand who you are, what you do, why you do it, and ways to gain release from whatever plagues you, and get closer to God in order to gain peace and restoration.
I have abandoned all my other bibles in favor of this one. I would urge anyone who needs help in self-control, discipline, overcoming compulsive/obsessive behaviors, to dig into the Life Recovery Bible. You will be blessed abundantly.
If you simply want to grow spiritually, and you have no addictions, this bible is also for you.
Every day I can look forward to new insights and teachings in this bible, which I can apply immediately to my life.
The text is easy to read for such a large Bible, the NLT translation is easy to understand, and the footnotes and other devotionals do not interfere with my enjoyment of every page.
There is another Life Recovery Bible in the NIV (New International Version), which in my opinion is not nearly as good as this one.
By Generosa Rader
I HIGHLY recommend the Life Recovery Bible. I have been a Christian for over 30 years and the New Living Translation has enabled me to understand the Bible in a whole new way. It was written in such a way so that it flows naturally and can be read easily outloud. I have never loved the Old Testament as much as I do now, after purchasing and using the Life Recovery Bible for several years.
The devotionals included in the Life Recovery Bible are worth buying this book, even if you don't want another Bible to use. I have given many of these Bibles out as gifts to friends dealing with all sorts of issues including depression, addictions, etc. Everyone I know that has one, LOVES it!
This is a Bible for someone who wants to grow and change. The devotionals are inspiring and motivating as well as encouraging. God has used this Bible greatly in my life and everyone I know who has one.
