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 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.
