GREAT GIFT!


FamilyLife Marriage Bible: Equipping Couples for Life
By Dennis & Barbara Rainey
God needs to be at the center of every marriage. Dennis & Barbara Rainey have put out a great Bible to help all married couples have a God filled, put your spouse before yourself Bible. Devotions are so important in helping a couple talk about important issues and add intimacy to their marriage. If we follow God's rules for marriage, we are destined to have a happy, long marriage.
I think the best gift to give newlyweds is devotionals or Bibles, and this is no exception. My wife and I try to exalt God in every way, but without great study Bibles and resources, this would not be possible. I will recommend this Bible and other resources from Dennis & Barbara Rainey to married couples of any age!

Great Resource



Nelson's Biblical Cyclopedic Index
“Best Bible Subject Index Ever”
by Thomas Nelson

If you want to dive in and get to know the Bible, this is the tool. It is an unbiased Biblical resource broken down by subjects and points one to specific Biblical scriptures corresponding to the topics. I have not used many other concordances, but I am so glad to add this to my library.

This is a wonderful Bible resource. Lately I have been prompted to dive in to the Bible and study a topic that I previously did not have much Biblical knowledge on, namely Baptism. I grew up learning that Baptism is important but not essential, but was recently challenged on this belief. I used this index to search out scripture concerning Baptism, and this resource made that task simple and organized. For example, the topic of Baptism includes a Word Study (definition and use) and subtopics covering scripture where baptism is covered in the context of “commanded by, administered by, places, subjects of, characteristics of, and symbolism of”.
