The NIV Bible for Journalling and Verse-Mapping is a beautifully presented Bible for you to treasure. The New International Version of the Scriptures is printed in clear, easy-to-read 9pt British Text on thicker than usual Bible paper, with a five-centimetre blank margin on every page, giving you lots of extra room for notes, reflections, illustrations or Bible studies. A 32-page concordance can be found at the back.

The Bible text is interspersed with 32 pages introducing the art of verse-mapping. This Bible study method encourages you to prayerfully choose a verse, compare it with other translations, study the context, including the history and characters mentioned, and then reflect and allow the Spirit to guide you in application. There are also verses to colour in, with lots of space around them for you to add your own illustrations, and many other pages with creative prompts for Bible journalling.

This special edition of the NIV has eye-catching teal sprayed edges, along with a pink elastic strap closure and two pink ribbon markers and the cover design is inspired by the powerful prayer of blessing from Numbers 6:24-26:

‘The Lord bless you

and keep you;

the Lord make his face shine on you

and be gracious to you;

the Lord turn his face towards you

and give you peace.’

It would make a fantastic birthday gift for Christian friends or for Mother’s Day.
