Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a fan of good Bibles and I am always looking for better ways to reach people that need help. I had hoped this Bible might be a good tool for ministering to those who are struggling with difficult issues. While the highlighting of specific Scripture verses is a good idea toward that goal, this Bible falls short.
There is no introduction that explains why this particular Bible is available save for what's on the dust jacket. If the dust jacket is gone, one might not realize why there are some verses highlighted and what might set this Bible apart. Most people do not read the introduction included in Bibles, but one here is really needed.
There is a small index near the end of the pages that lists certain aspects of God's character and where to find verses that describe Him. This is helpful but something more complete and more accessible would be an improvement.
My biggest complaint with this Bible is that is it billed as a Bible designed to help hurting people find hope, yet the extent of that help is in highlighting verses here and there. There really needs to be more than that - short studies on God's character, His love, His mercy, etc. would add so much more to that end goal.
All is not lost on this Bible, though. The NIV is a popular translation and is quite readable, and Zondervan has chosen a very easy-to-read typeface that makes this particular Bible a little easier on the eyes. This is not to say it's a large print, of course, but it is a little larger than average and makes for a nice "reading Bible".
The Find:Hope Bible is a good idea with the feel of being poorly thought out. There are better resources that accomplish the same intended goal.
