Dancing in the Desert Devotional Bible NLT: A Refreshing Spiritual Journey with God's People

by New Living Translation, Anonymous (Contributor)

2016 Christian Book Award finalist (Bibles category)Stories of Scripture are often portrayed two-dimensionally, making people in the Bible seem familiar, predictable, even flat. We don’t always read their stories with much awareness of the pressures they faced, the doubts they had, the assumptions they made, or the alternatives they have chosen.The Dancing in the Desert Devotional Bible in the New Living Translation encourages readers to take an honest look at the people in the Bible. Chris Tiegreen, author of many popular devotionals for both men and women, has written 270 devotionals that explore the lives of people in the Bible and how they faced their own life’s wilderness and found meaning, significance, and purpose with God. When we keep our gaze fixed on a story bigger than our own lives, we, too, can learn to dance in even the driest of our deserts.

I just finished reading The New Testament for the first time in this fantastic book…I LOVED IT!!! It reads in story form and so it is much easier to understand than reading the same verse in The Bible. I tried reading The New Testament but many times, after reading the scripture, I still did not understand it. I’m going to read this version again but this time will take the time to read it as a scripture study. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read and be able to understand the scriptures.

I love the Living Bible...I do not like this translation at all. Pretty cover, but did nothing for me.
