Welcome!
Congratulations! You are holding in your hands the best-selling book in the history of humanitythe Bible. It was given to us by God thousands of years ago. Although the Bible has been around for some time, the wisdom and knowledge contained within are still relevant today. In fact, everything you need to know about God and life is found in the pages of this book. It is the users manual of life that we all have been searching for.
The Bible does not just teach us about life, though. It also shows us how to come into a personal relationship with the very God who inspired this book. This particular Bible contains features that have been specially designed to help you understand, discover, and deepen the personal relationship that God wants to have with you.
Perhaps you are not yet a believer in Jesus Christ, but you want to know more about Christianity. You may even want to be a believer, but you just dont know how to become one. In the New Believers Bible , you will find a section titled . (page A11). Here, you will learn how to establish a life-changing relationship with Jesus.
Maybe you have just started in the Christian faith. You are a new believer. Here you will find out how to lay a good foundation for your faith and walk with God in the years ahead.
You may even be a believer who is mature in the faith. Here you will be refreshed and reminded of the essentials of the Christian faith and life.
THE MAIN FEATURES
The New Believers Bible contains four reading tracks: Cornerstones, First Steps, Off and Running, and Big Questions. Each reading track (except Big Questions) is composed of two kinds of notes: up-front and in-text . The up-front notes appear before the Bible text and are made up of one to two paragraphs and two to eight numbered points that refer you to Scripture passages and their accompanying in-text notes. (Big Questions is composed of an up-front list of questions and the page numbers you can find them on, and the in-text notes that answer those questions.)
