Description

In our digitally distracted, fragmented, and hurried culture, many of us are simply too busy and exhausted to have a meaningful life with God. Practices that slow us down to attune to the peace and presence of Jesus are essential for our time. And few practices are more important than immersing ourselves in Scripture.

As apprentices of Jesus, our aim isn't just to read Scripture or to know Scripture or even to believe Scripture. Rather, it is to be like Jesus' disciple Mary, who 'sat at Jesus' feet, listening to all he said.' It's to be with Jesus, and to be formed to be like him one page at a time. The NIV Lectio Bible was created with that end in mind: to give those walking in the Way of Jesus a way of listening to God on the pages of Scripture.

This Lectio Bible is a companion to the Scripture Practice from John Mark Comer and Practicing the Way, a nonprofit that creates resources to help churches apprentice in the Way of Jesus. Learn more at practicingtheway.org/resources.

Featuring an introduction by John Mark, the NIV Lectio Bible is intentionally designed to be as distraction-free as possible. Beautifully designed, single column, with no chapter or verse numbers or subheadings to interrupt your reading, this Bible allows you to fully immerse yourself into a seamless experience with Scripture as you invite Jesus to shape the architecture of your heart.
