Reviews

For years I have wondered if I was wired incorrectly. I'm imaginative, appreciate the arts, daydream and often get distracted by rabbit trails, and I had viewed all of these as negatives, or at least not helpful regarding my time in the Bible. The Abide Bible validates the idea that God made us uniquely, and in our distinct quirks or preferences we can leverage those to engage with Him in a deeper way. The discipline of sitting and reading the Bible is wonderful, but having additional tools in the tool belt such helps me explore curiosities, get lost in following an interesting concept across various books, and to find fresh and exciting ways of spending time with the Lord. Jonathan Huguenin, Faith Comes by Hearing
In the busyness and distractions of life The Abide Bible provides tools and guidance we need to encounter God in a rich and deeper way. To 'be still and know that I am God' is not easy. The Abide Bible prompted, equipped and engaged my imagination and soul to 'be' with God, so that I could know Him better. Mark Forshaw, Forum Of Bible Agencies, North America, Chair
The Abide Bible is an answer to prayer for those of us passionate about Scripture engagement. The features are designed so you can absorb the Word of God in a transformative way. We have needed this Bible for a long time and I am thrilled to be holding it in my hands. Finally! Tessie Devore, LUMO Project President

Carter, Executive Vice President of Scripture Engagement, Bible League International
