Shopping for a Devotional Bible for Women?
First introduced in 1996, the NLT and its unique style grew in popularity. Scholars continued to refine the translation for 8 years after its release. It’s clearly understood by varied audiences yet faithful to the intended message, fusing both the word-for-word translation approach with the thought-for-thought approach to make words and meaning clear to modern readers. Readers today can quickly understand, absorb and interact with this translation of God’s word, transforming their hearts and lives in the process.
A Lovely Bible
The text of the NLT Everyday Devotional Bible for Women is laid out in a single column for seamless reading, emphasizing the Bible’s single cohesive story. Small flowers decorate the borders of the daily devotionals and the dates for each reading. The Bible begins with a letter showcasing the heart behind the Bible and its devotionals, as well as a note to readers about the New Living Translation. In-depth information is given about the NLT translation, its translation philosophy and the translators themselves, scholars from various Christian colleges, universities and seminaries worldwide.
The carefully designed covers and interior of the NLT Everyday Devotional Bible for Women, available in various blooming florals and color palettes, gold foil finishes, hard cover and faux leather, honors the true, intrinsic beauty of God’s Word. A matching ribbon bookmark ensures readers never lose their place throughout the year. All daily readings include a passage from the Old and New Testaments, Psalms, and Proverbs, tying together the truth and beauty of each day’s reading. This Bible takes a reader through the entire Bible over a year’s time.
A Great Bible for Women
For each day the reader gets two devotional entries. Mother and author Nancy Taylor dives into one or two specific verses. Nancy’s devotionals feature in our Everyday Devotional Bible for Men too, and they are written for either a man or a woman. Women, however, can appreciate that the author knows the challenges women face following Christ at any stage. Her knowledgeable yet approachable writing style invites readers of all ages and points of life to think more deeply about the passages they are reading. The conciseness of the devotionals, typically only a few short paragraphs, keeps the emphasis on the Bible itself, while suggesting questions that leave the reader to ponder throughout busy days.
Each daily reading can be divided into one or two sittings. Splitting each day’s passages into two sittings reminds readers to pause and give thought to the text throughout the day or to connect morning with evening devotionals. On the other hand, reading it all at once offers the opportunity to deepen one’s focus. As Nancy Taylor notes in her well-worded and empathetic preface, “Whenever and however you choose to read the daily readings, whether in one sitting or two—or even if it takes you longer than a year—the most important thing is simply to read a portion of the Bible each day. It will change your life if you let it!”
Bibles For Young Women and Grandmas
The devotionals are simple enough in their explanations that even young women as early as middle or high school can reap wisdom from its pages. College-aged women or recent graduates figuring out life on their own for the first time, find solace knowing the Creator of the universe is with them and ordering every step along the way, just as he did for each person in the Bible. The structure and clarity of the daily readings is well suited for women navigating high-strung careers or mothers juggling the many responsibilities of motherhood. And women who have retired or are empty nesters can appreciate the encouragement that each passage, with the comfort of a Psalm and the wisdom of a Proverb, brings.
