One Step Closer Bible NLT - Navy Leather Bound – Special Edition, February 14, 2021

On my first Amazon search of a NLT version, I see at the top that Candace Cameron Bure published one of these Bible versions! I've always admired her and her faith so I added to cart and received it yesterday. It's the most beautiful leather-bound Bible I've come across. Some of my favorite aspects are: Easy to read and understand, Jesus' words are in red, there is space on the sides for jotting down notes, she has book introductions for each chapter, and there is this neat Help Finder index in the back. The first page I opened to is a verse that means something to me personally:Luke 22:34 - "Watch out! Don't let your hearts by dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don't let that day catch you unaware, like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the Earth. Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man."I've been thinking alot lately about our last days on this Earth since my oldest sister passed away very unexpectedly last month. We never know when our last day is. Tomorrow is never promised. So we need to be ready, right? Keep the faith in God, be kind, and do good everyday. I just hope I'm making Him proud and living out this life as He wants me to. I don't want to waste this life He gave me.

This Bible is beautiful. It would make a great gift for someone who loves reading the Bible or someone who is looking to embark on a spiritual journey. I could see this working well for someone who seeks to understand or someone who is going through a difficult time and leaning on the Bible for support.. The cover is very nice quality and the pages have golden edges. The ribbons add a nice touch for both asthetic reasons and practical ones; like bookmarking a page. I love the quick reference index in the back of the book and the notes embedded within the pages. Each section begins with noteworthy Bible verses from the section as well as a summary of what to expect. The language is easy to follow and reads like a book. This is exactly what I was looking for. There are places to take notes and a dedication section in the front. This Bible is Fantastic. Worth every penny. If I could afford it I would buy one for all of the special people in my life, even those who aren't super religious. Great buy!

I actually really love this Bible! It has everything I was looking for in 1. It includes introductions, words of Christ in red, gives Gods promises, and 3 ribbon bookmarks! It also includes journaling space and key notes, which I love to help me better understand. I thought it was so cool that this Bible includes a helpfinder index, it’s basically topics and a bunch of life Q&A’s with verses and notes to back it up. I will say though, the pages are very thin so I was a little bummed about that. Overall, this is such a great Bible! I’m so excited to continue reading and studying!! Also, material feels nice :)

This is the best Bible I’ve ever came across! It’s so pretty and fun. I love how when God speaks its written in red so I can differentiate who’s speaking. I love how the paragraphs are titled so I can get a just of what’s occurring. I love the thorough summaries before each book & love the key scriptures at the beginning of each book. I absolutely love the mini checkpoints throughout that help me relate & elaborate on what I just read. I really really love the help index in the back of the Bible for any problems that we may face such as abortion, depression, doubt etc. this is literally such a great Bible & this isn’t a paid review. I’m surprised the “She Reads Truth” Bible is more popular than this one

My teen loves it

I love this Bible!! It is a NLT version so it has been easier for me to understand. I have NIV translation study Bibles but I find this version to be much easier for me. This Bible is beautiful, well made and has so many extra tools to help understand the Word. The Help Finder Index towards the end of the Bible is so incredibly helpful and I refer to it to help me with scriptures pertaining to certain questions I may have. I also love that before each book, there is an introduction on what that book is about, key verses, and applications notes throughout. There is also an area on every page to jot down notes on the sides on the pages. I cannot tell how much this Bible has been used in the few weeks that I have had it. The 3 bookmarks are so nice too! They help me mark different sections as I’m doing Bible studies or in church. Two other sections in here that I have found helpful are the: Great Bible Stories for Discovering God’s Truth list and Great Bible Passages to Study and Memorize list - both in the back of the Bible. It has really helped me understand so much more about the Bible. **it does not come with the book tabs - I ordered those separately on Amazon.

This Bible is beautiful and I love it very much but the binding was loose when I received it. I forgot to send it back and address this concern so that is my own fault. But the Bible is beautiful. I do wish this same bible was sold with big print.
