Bobbie Wolgemuth

Well I own pretty much every bible there is out today, but I have never had the NCV (New Century Version)of the bible. This was a bit different for me. I don't believe I would use this as a study Bible, but I would use this more for an everyday devotional type Bible for myself. It offers a paragraph or two at the beginning of each book which helps to understand the historical context for the book you are about to read. The special features are on different topics that begin with "Our God is" and "Walking in" as well as other topics such as "Godly Character" and "Passing it On" and "Insights" and these are spread throughout the Bible. At the end of the bible portion, they have Answers to Questions Kids Ask such as "What did Jesus look like?" and "Where did God come from?", and each have a scripture reference with them. After the Answers to Questions Kids Ask, they have the Topical Index which goes by categories not in alphabetical order, for instance Our God Is.., and then Walking In... Passing It on, etc. Then lastly comes First Touch Verses, but here was the one thing I really did not like about this Bible, these are not helpful if you are not familiar with the Bible, but once you are use to using these and get familiar with them, they will be of good assistance to you. The cover for the NCV Mom's Bible: God's Wisdom for Mothersis a hardback, with a super glossy look and nice feel to it. The text for me was a bit hard to read but I also wear bifocals, I would say it is an average size text and would be easy to read for someone who does not have to strain their eyes like I do.… (meer)

Who knew that brown font could be so pretty? This Bible is a treasure and a delight. Being made up of the New Century Version translation this is a perfect companion to the popular Dad's Bible: The Father's Plan. Through the additional text in this Bible the notes from Bobbie Wolgemuth allow the truth of importance that a mother is to her family. The encouragement found within these pages is incredibly valuable. My favorite part is probably the "Moms in the Bible" segments where profiles are highlighted that share lessons for our own mothering roles and give a focus on how to be a woman that pleases God as a Mom. Another valuable segment is "Questions Kids Ask" with some great scriptural answers.

This Bible is a great gift idea, and one that will definitely allow Mom a few moments of going back to God and just being with Jesus that is until the next tatrum. *grin* (Pardon me, my baby calls...)
