Two years ago my husband and my girls gifted me an ABIDE Bible, NKJV version. I love the subtle color, texture, and specs. While it seems huge, I really don't mind it all. It has so much more tools than I can wish for a Bible to have. The Abide Bible allows me to fully engage in the word of God. I am not a Bible scholar by any means but I have learned so much from this Bible. I am still getting used to the NKJV version as I have always used the New Living Translation (NLT)

Why is it important to fully engage in the Bible? Knowing our God, how we love us so, and knowing who He is, and His characteristics will involve reading the Bible. The more we read the Bible, the more we are equipped to face everything that life will throw at us. It is important to be deeply rooted in His Words and promises. The Abide bible is a great tool for us to start our journey in getting to know Him, and His plans while developing a thriving relationship with Jesus.

While it may seem funny that a Bible has an instruction on how to use it, believe it or not..reading the Bible can be overwhelming for some. Especially for someone who is just a new believer. The Abide bible includes a "How to use" section. As I have mentioned above, I love the specs or the tools included in this bible. Here are the things I love with the Abide Bible:

❤️The Bible has a 365-day reading plan that you can follow.

❤️Book Introductions-the setting, the background of the book, themes, and author. 

❤️Engage through art -beautiful artwork that lets you deepen your meditation.
