Hello Beautiful People,

We need peace!

 I think everyone you talk to says they need peace in this world. Whether it is civil unrest, political debates, or financial worries, people are afraid. If they do not have the Lord, they have nowhere to turn to. Breakpoint Colson Center said that Bible reading has declined by 61%, and only 22% American adults read the Bible outside of religious services. To have peace in our lives, we need the hope found in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I recently had the opportunity to preview the new Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible, by Jeremiah Johnston, Ph.D. This amazing Bible, published by Thomas Nelson, is available in the New King James Version. The Bible I received is brown leather, red-letter comfort print, soft, aesthetically beautiful, and pliable in my hands, and it also comes in a variety of cover options.

Features
– An introduction for each book of the Bible and how PEACE can be found in that book.
– 365 devotionals based on a key verse or passage to guide you in how to receive and live by God’s peace. That is one for every day of the year.
– 365 peace notes offering short, powerful insights to help you understand more deeply the wholeness you have in Christ. When we are short on time, this is an easy way to seek out peace for that day.
– Topical indexes to help you study on your own how God’s peace can shape different relationships in your life.
– Articles explore what the peace of God is, how to find or recover it, and how to experience eternal salvation because of what God has done for you
– Concise concordance and index of features

Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible is available on Christianbooks.

There is a section called Peace Notes that gives great encouragement for peace inside.

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”John 14:27 (NKJV)

The Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible invites you to experience peace with God as you trace this vital theme throughout Scripture. By meditating on it daily as you read 365 devotions and application notes, you will find the encouragement you need to live out of the wholeness you have in Christ and be equipped to share that peace with others.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 (NKJV)

I look forward to continuing to use the Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible as a resource in my growth in God’s Word. The more I build my faith and meditate on the peace scriptures, the better equipped I will be to fight the forces that try to steal my peace.
