The
Enduring Word Bible, which Concordia kindly sent me to review,
makes a blessed beginning for the New Year or any time.
This edition of the highly acclaimed ESV (English Standard Version) of the
Bible invites you to make God’s Word your own as you color memory verses and
pencil in prayers, insights, and other responses in the wide margins
provided alongside the readable 9.5-point text.
Besides the 350 line-art illustrations in the margins
of the book, this edition includes ten
full-page illustrations for you to color, preferably with colored pencils or
other medium that won’t smear or bleed through the thin pages.
Since the idea is to encourage you to meditate on God’s
Word and use the margins to remind yourself of those close encounters with the
Lord, you might want to add a date each time you jot down whatever comes to mind.
Those reminders can continue to be a blessing in years to come as you
recall your unique relationship with the Lord and pass along to loved ones this
ongoing evidence of faith and devotion
to God.
