I was anxious to review this Bible. I wondered what it could have that would make it special for new believers. Well what I found right off the bat at the beginning of the book was a section titled The Plan of Salvation, which even includes a prayer for people who are unsure that they are saved. The next section was called secrets to spiritual success which gives tips and pointers on how to become a successful christian.
One thing that stood out for me was the fact that at the opening of each book of the Bible we are given an introduction explaining what the chapter will be about, which I found enlightening.Additional features in this Bible are the titled grow ,know , live and learn messages peppered throughout this Bible, which helps you in your studies. I also found the topical index to articles and scriptures a handy way to navigate to issues that may be pertinent especially for a new christian that isn't really familiar with the Bible.
The only negative I have is the extremely small print that is used in this Bible. Otherwise I think this NKJV version edited by Greg Laurie would be a very handy tool for the person just starting their walk with Jesus.
Product Description from Amazon.com
A brand new life of faith begins when we place our trust in Jesus Christ. Start is the perfect Bible for new believers or believers who want to learn more about their faith. Ideal for introducing new believers to the Bible, Start focuses on basic discipleship with articles and devotions on subjects including prayer, Bible study, church involvement, sharing your faith, and discovering God's will. Core biblical themes are introduced at basic levels of theological sophistication and presented in very simple language.
Even though I was provided a review copy of this Bible from Booksneeze it in no way alters my opinion of this Bible.
