As you study the Scriptures with an alert mind and a receptive heart, you will be strengthened, empowered, and filled with the hope that comes through a loving and growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We are who the Bible says we are, we can have what it says we can have, and we can do all that it promises we can do. This is the heart of the message that Joel and Victoria Osteen share every week with an audience of millions around the world via television, the internet, and worship events. Their practical, uplifting message of hope found in Christ has changed the lives of individuals, impacted families, and literally transformed communities. They place an incredible value on the principles of the Bible, which have a miraculous, life-changing impact on anyone who is willing to study and obey its truths. The Hope for Today Bible is filled with insights, notes, and encouragements from Joel and Victoria designed to help you grow deeper in your walk with God. It also includes specific verses that you can pray over your relationships, your children, your finances, and your health. In addition, "HopePoints" are key words and supporting scriptures related to topics such as favor, forgiveness, anger, depression, loneliness, self-control, and many more. This Bible is presented in the New Living Translation, which combines phenomenal scholarship and textual accuracy with clear, easy-to-understand contemporary language. The Bible will come alive and become clear like never before.

It's a New Living Translation Bible with annotations/ Hope Notes from Joel and Victoria Osteen. Makes for me reading the Bible more fun, exciting and insightful. One of my best purchases, despite price. Worth it.

This book arrived in my life at just the right moment. A friend recommended it to me who was going thru a hard time and she knew I was too. Between it and an angel of a therapist I was able to let go of the confusion and the darkness of my divorce and instead begin to recognize that God was right beside me every step of the way and that all I had to do was ask for help or guidance. Of course my time line and God's are not always the same but I have come to find such peace even in not knowing. The little boxes on the side of the pages that Osteen writes were so enlightening and seriously guided me thru some tough years. I highly recommend it.

I love this Bible, Hope Notes are great, My husband gave me the leather bound version Christmas 2010 and I carry it to Church weekly and most days to work with me as well...that is where the "footnotes" come in handy :-)

This has a permanent place on my nightstand along with Joel Osteen's book Your Best Life.

This translation of the Bible (NLT) is very easy to understand. And Joel Osteen's tidbits throughout the Bible are always thought provoking and heart warming.
