Table of Contents

Welcome to your new Bible! The NIV Life Journey Bible was created for people just like you, people seeking spiritual, personal, relational and life growth. It features notes based on the growth principles developed by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. Their Biblical approach to growth, healing and success is rooted in the view that all of life is ultimately spiritual in nature, and the life designed by God can only be realized through an intimate relationship with him, through applying his Word to our lives and through understanding and living out Gods ways that he has given us in his Word.

As you explore the concepts in this Bible, our prayer is that you will grow in your understanding of yourself and your world and that you will experience much growth. The Bible is Gods Word. We pray it will penetrate and transform your heart and life.
