Summary: Wonderful Bible
Comment: Bought this Bible as a result of finding out about Joni and her special ministry to the disabled. As a disabled woman, I find myself touched by this Bible beyond words. There are many insights contained in various selections that enhance my faith and my attitude toward life and my disability has become more positive. Thank you Joni and all others who helped with this very special Bible.

Summary: What a pretty Bible!
Comment: This is such a pretty blue Bible, and some of the notes are very good, and some are not that helpful. But it's definitely worth getting.

Summary: A wonderful Bible for those who hurt!!
Comment: I've been a Christian for a long time and have lived with a chronic illness and disability for several years. I'm always looking for inspirational and encouraging reading to help me through this difficult journey. Now finally, an application Bible to "encourage!" With Joni Eareckson Tada and Dave & Jan Dravecky editing and writing "Notes of Encouragement" & "Tips to Encourage," I found alot of emotional support. Coming from three who have, themselves, endured alot of physical and emotional suffering, this NIV Bible is a wonderful source of encouragement for those who are hurting. The Word of God always remains the Word of God. The difference here are the personal little notes included by Joni, Dave, Jan and others. I found them to be honest, validating, compassionate and uplifting. Also included are several other sections. "Questions in the Valley", "...in the Desert," "...in the Oasis," and ...in the High Places" are the asked questions alot of us think about in our circumstances. They then direct us to related scriptures. "Light For My Path" are uplifting, "quick look" scriptures listed in the margins.
"Encouragement From The Classics" include writings from Augustine, C.S. Lewis, Charles H. Spurgeon, D.L. Moody, Teresa of Avila, Oswald Chambers, etc.
It's so difficult sometimes to find the motivation to even read the Bible when you're chronically ill, much less find one with commentary that is senstive to our needs. In the past, so many application Bibles have offered encouragement commentary in such an upbeat fashion, it was diminishing to those suffering. I know it made me feel frustrated and misunderstood. Sort of like
"pouring salt in an open wound" kinda thing. When you're hurting you need loving & understanding direction, not an overly zealous push. With the Encouragement Bible, I found a great deal of sensitive, uplifting notes, tips and stories. Who better to minister to those suffering, than those who endure suffering in their own lives. Thanks to Joni, Dave and Jan for realizing the great need for this application! Don't mistake that this is full of "pat answers," rather it is a breath of fresh air for the weary, discouraged soul. If you're looking for a study or application Bible to lift you up in your suffering, this is it. If you have a relative or friend who is suffering, this would make a nice gift for them. Or, if you're just looking to be a better encourager, this would be a good tool. It's well worth the purchase, and your heart will be comforted.
