NKJV Chronological Study Bible







The Bible that allows you to study Scripture in the order of events as they happened
The Chronological Study Bible presents the text of the New King James Version in chronological order - the order in which the events actually happened - with notes, articles, and full-color graphics that connect the reader to the history and culture of Bible times. It is the only NKJV study Bible arranged in chronological order.

Part of the Signature Series line of Thomas Nelson Bibles

If you are looking for a good study Bible that shows the scripture in the order that they happened, this is the Bible for you.  I think that every Bible scholar should have a chronological Bible in their library.   Written in the NKJV, it is easy to read.  Diagrams and maps, illustrations are in full color.  The imitation leather cover and binding make it durable and will last a long time.
Honestly, I did not know how to approach the review on this Bible.  It is not your ordinary Bible.  It is written in the event as they actually happened.  This makes it wonderful for putting things in perspective when you are studying out the Bible.  
It is broken down into 9 Epochs.The Epochs Being: Epoch 1: Creation- 2000 B.C.; Epoch 2: 2000-1500 B.C.; Epoch 3: 1500-1200 B.C.; Epoch 4: 1200-930 B.C.; Epoch 5: 930-586 B.C.; Epoch 6: 586-332 B.C.; Epoch 7: 332-37 B.C.; Epoch 8: 37 B.C.- A.D. 30; Epoch 9: A.D. 30-100.
This is a great study tool, and a great way to read your way through the entire Bible.

My Toddler Bible










My Toddler Bible brings out some great truths of the Bible for little children to understand.  It is in big bold print, with beautiful colors and well-drawn illustrations depicting the truths that we want to teach our children.

The book begins with the birth of Christ and ends with his ascension.  The author has chosen some great truths out of the Bible to teach our children.  From the prodigal son to the good Samaritan.

A very cute book that would make a great gift, and a great way to spend time with our children teaching them all about God's Word.

The only concern that I had was int the teaching of Genesis, the author gave the impression that God was tired.  God does not get tired, or rests, He gave us, His children a day of rest to take a day to remember who He is and what He does.  This could have been written to emphasize that this was done for us, not for Him.  Other than that this is a great book to teach our little ones the Word of God.

A Woman Who Doesn't Quit 6 Session Bible Study


A Woman Who Doesn't Quit - Bible Study Book


Hopefully, you have seen my review on the book "A Woman Who Doesn't Quit" This is the follow along 6 session study.

From the back of the book:

Every Woman eventually faces the decision whether or not to give up, but there's something special that happens when a woman decides to persevere in the face of problems or pain.  A woman who refuses to quit influences her world in ways she could have never dreamed or imagine.

I love the book of Ruth.  There is so much you can glean from it... ( no pun intended).  I enjoyed  the book, and I recommend that you use both these tools, along with the videos that are available you will  have a great study that many women will learn from.

Benefits:
  • Learn to follow through on your commitments despite your feelings
  • Create space for the movement of God and release control to Him
  • Embrace the grace of refinement rather than the relief of release
  • Invest in the world with joy
  • Cultivate an unbreakable spirit
  • Persevere through life’s most difficult moments
  • Refuse to give up on your heart’s deepest desires

The James Code







The James Code is an exceptional book written by O.S. Hawkins.  The author has done a wonderful job at presenting the book of James.  It is easy to read, written in a devotional style of writing, and you can see the need to put our faith into action.   I enjoyed studying the book of James, and once you read this book, you will fully understand what the (half) brother of Christ was trying to get across to his readers.   The book of James is so full of information for us, and this book really does help us put it into action.

Each chapter has an explanation of  a selection of verses, such as chapter 13 deals with  true faith in our lives showing consistency  James 1:19-25.  The author explains the verses.  Here the author tells us to be consistent in our talk and our walk.  At the end of each chapter, there is a Just Do It!  That I love, the author is teaching us how to apply these verses and live out our faith!

Not only is the book helpful in our daily walk, but it  has a nice sturdy faux leather cover, it is a size that is handy to take with you wherever you go.   This would make a great gift, and it could be used as a Bible study tool.

Well done and highly recommended.

5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit








5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit will take you through a journey, an inward look into your life to find out why we just keep on calling it quits.   In this book, the author helps you to take a look at your life and wonder why is it I can't take things to completion.

The author uses humor, life stories to help teach us how to become a woman who does not quit.  She uses the story of Ruth interwoven throughout life's circumstances to help teach us, Biblically how we should learn not to be quitters.  In all reality, we were not made by God to be a quitter, but a finisher.   I like the quit quitting verses she has given the reader to memorize in the back of the book.  A brilliant idea, and something we all can use.

This is an eye-opening book, that even if we aren't prone to quitting, or have a habit of quitting, it is a good book for all of us women to read.

I can see this book being read independently, or it would make a great study for women to do.
