Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life.
The closing line of Philip P. Blisss hymn says it perfectly. Gods Word is filled with beautiful, wonderful words that give us life. The words of Scripture are indeed beautiful for their love, grace, exhortation, correction, wisdom, hope and truth. While we know that Gods Word stands alone and needs no help from us to speak to the reader, in this Bible we complemented Scripture with illustrations of Gods beautiful words. In partnership with seven unique artists who each brought their own personal creative style to 500 verses, we added visual beauty to the pages of Scripture.
With the help from data collected by BibleGateway, we selected key verses online Bible readers search most often. We paired our review with an editorial eye to select verses that represented every book of the Bible and that balanced popular verses with less familiar ones. Some verses are great to memorize, others will introduce you to a section of Gods Word that may be unfamiliar.
