Purchase your copy of the Peace of God Bible today!

You were made for peace—and to be a peacemaker. The story of the Bible is the story of peace—peace that only comes through God. But peace isn’t simply a feeling of calm or ease. It is a way of experiencing life as we were always meant to—in relationship with our Creator and with each other. We can recover a completeness that was once lost but is restored in the gospel.

The Peace of God Bible invites you to experience peace with God as you trace this important theme throughout Scripture. By meditating on it daily as you read 365 devotions and application notes, you will find the encouragement you need to live out of the wholeness you have in Christ—and be equipped to share that peace with others.

I received the leather soft cover version of the Peace of God Bible. It feels great in the hands, and I really love the font size is so easy to read. I think this Bible would best be used as a devotional by someone who wants to focus on the specific theme of peace throughout the Bible. It also comes with 2 beautiful ribbon bookmarks.

Additional features of this Bible includes:

• Book introductions to help reveal the role of peace in each book of the Bible
• 365 devotionals based on a key verse or passage to guide you in how to receive and live by God’s peace
• 365 peace notes offering short, powerful insights to help you understand more
  deeply the wholeness you have in Christ
• Topical indexes to help you study on your own how God’s peace can shape different relationships in your life
• Articles explore what the peace of God is, how to find or recover it, and how to experience eternal salvation because of what God has done for you
• Concise concordance and index of features.
• End-of-page translators’ notes and cross-references
• Line-matched, double-column typesetting
• Clear and readable 9.5-point NKJV Comfort Print® (probably one of my favorite features- the font is easy to read!)

The editor of this Bible is Jeremiah J. Johnston, PhD. He is an elected member of the preeminent New Testament scholarly guild Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas (SNTS) and ministers internationally as president of Christian Thinkers Society.  Jeremiah loves the local church, and also serves as pastor of apologetics and cultural engagement at Prestonwood Baptist Church.

Are you wanting to read through the Bible this year, but unsure of where to begin? Read through the Bible in a year plans are ever popular, but more importantly they’re a great way to read Scripture. With the CSB Jesus Daily Bible you can do exactly that—and keep Jesus at the center of each day.

The new CSB Jesus Daily Bible includes a 52-week, Christ-focused, guided reading plan that you can join at any point during the year. The reading plan is undated, so even if you start late or get behind, it’s easy keep going.

Day by day, you’ll thematically study Scripture through a weekly introduction, helpful articles and infographics, and a weekly summary to help you understand Jesus’s central role from Genesis to Revelation. This isn’t a typical “read a book, read a proverbs, read a gospel” plan. This Bible has you read through, from Genesis to Revelation, focusing on Christ every step of the way.

The weekly introduction page lays out the week ahead and includes a topical title for the week with an introduction, the reading plan, and a Where Will I Find Christ in this Week’s Reading? section. This includes study topics for finding Jesus throughout the reading, and a description of God’s character seen in Scripture.

Weekly Introduction example

The version of the Bible I was sent is a navy blue hardcover, each cover version includes beautiful features:

• 52 thematic reading plan
• Weekly Introductions
• Weekly summaries and applications
• Book introductions
• Durable Smyth-sewn, lay-flat binding
• Elegant 2-tone interior design
• Two column text format
• 2″ margins for note taking
• 9.5-point font
• black-letter text
• footnotes and ribbon marker
• Concordance
• Full-color maps

The summaries for each week are a great tool for studying the Bible. I really love that this Bible isn’t just a typical “I read the Bible in a year,” plan, but is focused on deeper study and meaning with the main focus of finding Christ in scripture-He’s there on every page.

I also like that you can find the week, day, and book name, with page numbers at the bottom of the pages in this Bible, as seen in the pics below. Some of the weekly summaries are a few pages long with a lot of cross-references verses, and I just love this! You can spend so much time in scripture studying God’s word right there. The articles/devotions found throughout are meaningful and adds more context to the reading, which I much prefer over fluffy devotionals. (My lighting casts a warm hue on the pages, but the the Bible’s pages are a beautiful white with black lettering).

See how every page of God’s Word points to the bigger story of Jesus. And every day, the CSB Jesus Daily Bible will help you see how. Read through the Bible this year—and keep Jesus at the center of each day.

You Are a Child of God is a faith-based children’s coloring book designed to be shared between a child and their caregiver. This helps foster meaningful connections and conversations about God’s love from a young age. You Are a Child of God is more than a book – each page invites children (and adults) to color, creating a calming and creative experience while reading and engaging with Scripture.

Whether it’s for parents expecting a little one, children in your family, or even a friend who loves creative, faith-filled activities, this book offers something meaningful.

I have to tell you, when this box came in the mail, every single one of my children was ecstatic! My oldest is a 13 year old girl, my youngest a 3 year old boy, with 3 kids in-between, and none of them could wait to open The Action Bible: Faith in Action Edition.  Parents you’re going to want to order you copy today!

The Action Bible has helped millions of kids engage in God’s Word throughout the world. The Faith in Action Edition is an enhanced version of the bestselling Expanded Edition. Inside you will find vivid illustrations and short impactful stories that help connect all generations to God’s Word. We have a much older edition in our home, it mostly lives in my 11 year old son’s room; I was a little worried this new edition would leave out some stories from the older version, or the text would be less than ideal.

But have no fear- The Action Bible: Faith in Action Edition is perfect! There are even a few added stories that weren’t in our older edition, which my children were fast to point out.

You will find the stories are in chronological order to better help kids understand God’s redemptive story. The Faith in Action Edition is about helping kids Engage in God’s Word, grow in God’s Word, and live God’s Word, so within the text you can find QR codes to scan for an interactive component.  However, this is absolutely not necessary if you’re a low-screen family like we are!

I like the Spiritual Growth Resources feature, which include over 200 devotionals, prayers, character stories, teaching videos, timelines, maps, and Bible facts. Major themes of the Bible are highlighted throughout with icons that help kids personalize their faith and live God’s Word. Themes of the Bible are based on David C Cook’s tested Bible study curriculum for kids and include: Courage, Faith, Hope, Love, Service, Trust, and Wisdom. My kids really enjoyed this aspect of the Action Bible.

The Faith In Action Edition is the most complete interactive Bible for kids and teens, and I have never met someone who didn’t absolutely love their Action Bible, young and old.

Go see Season 4 of The Chosen in theaters starting February 1, 2024 (2/1/24)! Get tickets at a theater near you at thechosenriseup.com

The Chosen is a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus (played by Jonathan Roumie), seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season show shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. Season four premieres in theaters February 1, 2024.

Season 4 takes us through clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. And we watch as the enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burden alone. Threatened by the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable- ally with their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of betrayal are planted and opposition to Jesus’ message turns violent, He’s left with no alternative but demand his followers t0 RISE UP.

I was so excited to preview Season 4, episodes 1-3 of The Chosen. The cast, soundtrack, and of course the story line of Season 4 are top notch; I love that the story of Jesus is being spread via such a high quality production. To think that what began as a pioneering, crowd-funded project has now garnered over 770 million episode views is truly amazing. With over 200 million viewers, The Chosen is one of the most-watched shows in the world. The series is consistently a top performer across streaming platforms Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Netflix plus a top-rated broadcast weekly on The CW.

These few episodes opened up a lot of discussion amongst our family, especially my children. They had so many questions, and some things clarified (keep in mind The Chosen takes some creative liberties), which sent us to Scripture to find some answers about preconceived notions, etc. John The Baptist’s story is continued and ends in Season 4; bringing so much of Scripture to screen means that more people will hear the Gospel.

The first three seasons of The Chosen will soon be released in 50 languages with plans to subtitle in more than 600. This is the first multi-season series of its kind: a ground-breaking historical drama about the life of Jesus. Jonathan Roumie was invited to the Vatican on two different occasions to speak to the Pope about his role as Jesus.

Moms and dads, exciting news- The Chosen is releasing ALL of Season 4 in theaters! Grab tickets now for your whole family and have a fun family night at the movies!

Scripture is not only the greatest story ever told; within it we find our identity, get help with life choices, and learn how the Lord loves His people. The new CSB Life Counsel Bible contains articles from leading biblical counselors giving readers the tools need to take action and find hope through all of life’s highs and lows.

Featuring over 150 articles on topics related to marriage, parenting, relationships, mental health, sexual orientation, and so much more- this Bible is like having a complete biblical counseling toolkit in one resource! But what I really do love about this Bible is the practical topic index in the back that lists the articles and places in scripture that you can look to for help. There are so many “mainstream” issues to be discussed with our children and young Christians, I often don’t know where to start, or what to say; but the Life Counsel Bible has so many articles that address these from a Biblical perspective. I like how it talks to youth leaders and parents, giving specific advice that is backed up by scripture.

Check out www.lifecounselbible.com for a full list of topics and to order yours today!

The CSB Life Counsel Bible features the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible. The CSB captures the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-transforming message and to share it with others.

Whether it is stress, anxiety, or grief, or wanting to help a loved one through addiction, or marital conflict, or parenting challenge- Scripture has it. But I’m really excited to share with you an amazing new biblical counseling resource created in partnership with Holman Bibles and New Growth Press. The Life Counsel Bible provides practical wisdom for all, equipping readers with biblical truth and counsel on a wide range of topics and tough life issues. With over 150+ articles this Bible is full of useful tools and resources for life application and discipleship. It’s great for couples, parents, ministry leaders, and anyone who has ever struggled with tough life issues (yep, that’s all of us!).

Some Features Include:

• Callout quotes placed near each article provide truth, hope, and encouragement to apply to life
• Over 100-word studies focusing on key words applicable to personal healing, growth, and counsel
