Hope for Today Bible-NLT

This new Bible is the best I have seen. I love the Hope Notes they are just the perfect thing to give me a lift when I need one. And help to get my perspective back in line. Highly recommended! It is made simple. Joel Osteen and his team have made a difference in my life and how I nourish my spiritual needs. He has made me stronger and far better equipped to deal with the challenges in my life. I appreciate his work and am grateful for his energies! He makes it fun and I always come away stronger. God Bless their messages! Thank you for reading this review and you too should receive a blessing - on that note go out and have a good day.

I read this BIBLE everyday and it has been a blessing in my life, every family need one. Robert Cotton

As an owner of many bibles, I really like this one. The translation is very clear and easy to understand. I also enjoy the notes and devotions included by Joel and Victoria Osteen. Their comments are very uplifting and inspirational for me and help keep me on track as a Christian. If you purchase this bible, you won't be disappointed. It would also make a great gift.

I really enjoy this bible and the notes that Joel & Victoria Osteen added it makes better understanding I am glad that I bought it

I was introduced to the works of Norman Vincent Peale many years ago. NVP offered many of the same prescriptions back in the WWII era. That was a difficult time for America. And God raised up a man for a time like that. Today, America is again in a difficult period. And God has given us another inspiring preacher who has tapped into our current problems, and given us hope and the power to overcome them. Joel Osteen and wife Victoria have created an amazing resource that addresses every conceivable topic and problem in a way that is fresh and grounded in God's Word. The layout of this Bible is impressive. There are so many helps and annotations that you can't help but be inspired. The choice of the NLT was smart as well. It makes Bible reading easier without dumbing down the language. It also makes studying these concepts much more enjoyable. Osteen's critics like to rail against his preaching style, or the lack of Biblical teaching. I have found no evidence that this is true. Osteen grounds his teaching in the Scriptures. He's the most popular preacher in America, so he's a target. Well, he's the wrong target. God is using Lakewood Church and the Osteens to bless and help many people.
