2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
NIV Streams in the Desert Bible by L. B. Cowman Edited by Jim Reimann
Are you in a desert experience? Let your thirsty soul be restored and refreshed through the daily devotions in the NIV Streams in the Desert Bible.
At some point in our lives, we encounter the trials and deep mysteries of the Christian faith. And when we do become like a thirsty traveler, what we most desire is for hope, comfort, and encouragement to burst forth like a sparkling, clear river.
The hopeful daily readings in this Bible promise to revive and refresh you—one of today’s generation of faithful sojourners—by providing daily devotions in modern, easy-to-understand language that beautifully captures the timeless essence of the original. These devotionals are presented alongside Scripture using the popular New International Version of the Bible.
While the devotions in this Bible were originally written by L. B. Cowman—a pioneer missionary in Japan and China from 1901 to 1917—this devotional Bible has been edited by James Reimann. It maintains the beauty of the original Cowman writings while making the devotionals more accessible for the readers of today.
Features:
• Complete text of the clear, accessible NIV Bible
• 365 daily readings of strength and encouragement from L. B. Cowman
• Foreword by Jim Reimann
My Review:
NIV Streams in the Desert Bible by L. B. Cowman Edited by Jim Reimann is everything that you have come to expect when reading the NIV Bible translation, in addition to the spirit led depth of a daily devotion that will take your life journey to an even greater understanding of our Lord and His gracious love for us.
This Daily Devotional Bible is organized and edited by Jim Reimann. The author has carefully edited each devotion from L. B. Cowman's original Streams in the Desert and identified a specific reference point of scripture implication that serves to enrich the comprehension of the devotion. The format encourages a daily reflection utilizing the identified verses and expounds upon the culture, setting, and time period during which the verse was written. This survey of history illuminates a greater understanding of the message being conveyed within the verses. There is also a wonderful Subject Index located in the back of the book for quick reference to a vast array of common themes including: affliction, anxiety, blessings discouragement, and prayer... just to name a few.
The Bible: NIV Streams in the Desert Bible is quite unique in that the original author penned these ponderous words over 100 years ago, and yet because they are tied to the unchanging Word of God, they are as fresh and applicable (or perhaps even more so) today, as they were over a century ago! I greatly appreciated the consistent thoughtful writings that make up this Devotional Bible. Each of the 365 devotions are unique and provide the reader with a confidence in Christ; they create a level of assurance in the scriptures that is not only refreshing and healing, but inspiring.
Another interesting point about this particular Bible is that a portion of the purchase price will go directly to Biblica, an organization that is dedicated to "transforming lives through God's Word". Biblica was formerly known as the International Bible Society and they currently hold the initial copyright to the NIV Bible translation. This organization is currently distributing the NIV Bible to 55 countries around the world. That's pretty impressive!
I would highly recommend this NIV Devotional Bible to anyone who is wanting a user friendly study Bible filled with deeply personal insight into the NEVER changing Word of God. This Bible will allow the reader to identify the promises of God and apply them to their life with fresh hope and sound doctrine.
I would like to thank Zondervan through the Book-Look-Bloggers program for this review copy of NIV Streams in the Desert Bible by L. B. Cowman & edited by Jim Reimann. I was not required to write a favorable evaluation. The opinions within this report are entirely my own.
