Touchpoints

Never received this

We take the time to read so many other books. This is the one book we should all read and the Touchpoint Bible does it in a way that makes it both easy and enjoyable. The wealth of information - better yet - wisdom - on everyday living surprised me. This version of the Bible has an index in the back that points you to text within the Bible that will help you understand "life". I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with having this Bible as their reference to both good times and bad. Anyone who reads this version will have a deeper understanding of their faith.

I picked up this translations over seven years ago and credit it, in part, for beginning my journey through the Bible. First the New Living Translation is easy to read and understand. Second, this particular edition takes inspirational and encouraging verses and puts them right at the top of the page in large bold type so that all you have to do is flip through the pages and you'll quickly find a word of encouragement. I would reacommend this Bible version for anyone wanting to read the Bible, but feeling intimidated (or bored) by other translations. I would strongly recommend this version as a gift as well.

I picked up this Bible for the new translation since my other Bible was the older Living Bible. I was amazed at how helpful this Bible was. I was in a very hurting situation and went to the back picked the emotion I was feeling and read the scripture associated with the emotion. Now it's the main source I use first for help. I was so impressed I bought the smaller Touchpoint pocket book. The only draw back of this book is that the paper cover curls. I bought a cover like the one's they put on library paperbacks and it solved my problem. It's a more durable book now. And I can wipe off the cover if it gets wet or dirty.Awesome Book! A great help when you are broken and hurting.

This is a great book, with brief questions and answers relating to faith. I am a pastor of a church, and give this book to our high school graduates as a gift. They love the book! I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a helpful guide or a special gift.

I stumbled upon The Touchpoint Bible at a Women's Retreat. Flipping through, I became immediately engrossed. Not only does this Bible translate God's Word into language I understand, it also has "mini" Bible studies--or Touchpoints-- on a huge varirety of topics. Whenever life throws something at me I don't understand, I browse the index and go directly to the Touchpoint that seems most relevant to what I am experiencing. It is TONS easier to use than a concordance. It truly delivers what it claims: God's word at your point of need. I recommend this Bible to all of my friends! Some have been hesitant and cautioned that it is a paraphrase, not a translation, but they are wrong in this assumption. I show them the part in the front of the book that explains how The New Living Translation came to be and they are impressed at it's credentials as a new translation of God's Word. This is a GREAT translation for new believers, in my opinion, as well as a wonderful addition to the library of Bibles on every Christian's shelf.
