HOPE FOR EACH DAY by BILLY GRAHAM

The book is: Billy Graham “HOPE FOR EACH DAY- Words of Wisdom and Faith”. It is a rerelase of daily devotional that was first released in 2002 hope is still needed thus the book is still relevant. It has been updated to reflect the climate of the day.
Some people you may say: “I do not need another daily devotional”. I don’t. Others may say: “I have given people daily devotionals every year it is time for something different.” Well, I don’t give them but I do get them, not to mention the daily devotional books I have reviewed! But this is Billy Graham! And this is words of hope.

Hope for every day is something we all need in this sex crazed hyper-sensitive world. As Believers we see how Satan and his demonic force has placed himself into a prominent position throughout the world, even in some churches- we need hope. HOPE FOR EACH! DAY reminds us daily that: “…even when circumstances have been hard or the way unclear, God has still surrounded me with His love.” (Preface by Billy Graham)

The reason I am keeping this book that I was given is because HOPE FOR EACH DAY. Just looking at the title on the cover of this leather bound book reminds me that my hope is in the Lord. I have scanned through the days and see so many words of hope as only Pastor- Evangelist Billy Graham could speak them. If you have never owned a Billy Graham book - this is the one, or at least your first one.  Written by Marsha L F Randolph

NKJV STUDY BIBLE FOR KIDS published by TOMMY NELSON

The NKJV STUDY BIBLE FOR KIDS published by  THOMAS “TOMMY” NELSON is presented specifically for children ages 8-12 (note: I do not particularly care for the word “Kids”.)  A New King James Bible translation with study notes, it is unique because of the presentation of color and the commentary which targets young people.


 I like the study emphasis that are presented in the “Spotlight”  sections that encourage the reader to: Read it, Get it, Live it. There are also text blocks that present: “Epic Ideas”  and calls to “Action.” All of the text box / commentaries have a movie theme icon assocated with it even the “In Focus” text blocks, which are short one or two sentence statements.

As far as Bibles go, for young men and women it is good. The commentaries are written so as to not overwhelm the reader with college level terms but not insulting to the mind of a 14 year old, though the target reader is 8-12. The dictionary -concordance in the back of the book has words in it that shed light as to how to pronounce many of the names found in the Bible.  Also note worthy, the introduction to each book is brief, to the point and easy to grasp.

This is a good starter Bible and worth purchasing.    - - written by Marsha L F Randolph
