Encountering God Study Bible Review & Giveaway!

(Many thanks to Harper Collins Christian Publishing for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.)

 

I am excited to give a review for the Encountering God Study Bible!  Henry Blackaby, who wrote the Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God Bible Study years ago, has greatly influenced many lives, including mine.   One takeaway from this influential study was “Look to see where God is at work, and join Him there.”  It’s probably been 30 years since I first did this study, but this one important aspect of knowing and doing God’s will has been a key element in my life with following God and the ministry and mission opportunities that I’ve been a part of over the last three decades.   This new study Bible contains continued wisdom and study help from Henry Blackaby and the Blackaby Family.

I love the description on the sleeve of the Bible: – “The deepest need of every human heart is to encounter God.  People face many needs, some are physical, others are social or emotional.  Spiritual needs, however, can only be met by God Himself.   Every time we open God’s Word, we have the opportunity to experience a dramatic encounter with the living God that utterly transforms us.  The Encountering God Study Bible teaches you how to have daily encounters with God in the Bible, The content will encourage you to develop a regular habit of Bible reading and study.  Expect great life-change to happen as God acts to engage you in His Word.”

I think this description is a great summary of how this study Bible can be so beneficial to one’s spiritual walk with the Lord.   I love all the key features listed below.  Another thing I love about the Bible is the easy-to-read text which is a 9-point NKJV Comfort Print.  I received the Black Leathersoft copy which is a beautiful black leathersoft with a gold imprint design on the front cover and gold letters on the spine.  I also, find the two different color ribbon book markers to be a great feature.  If you are needing gift ideas for Mother’s Day, Graduation, or Father’s Day, the Encountering God Study Bible will not disappoint!   There are several options to choose from including hardback, brown leathersoft, black leathersoft, and black leather.
