My Thoughts:
The Bible is my absolute favorite book, without question. That being said there are several different translations and different devotional topics from them. This is a NIV version devotional Bible for those in mourning. I thought the devotional topics and the way they were addressed were quite good. I had some issues with the NIV translations on some verses and the changing of the book names. Realistically, I believe this Bible can help those working through a loss. I grew up on the NKJV version and while the translations are close, I would use the devotional portions of this Bible with the NKJV were it me.
I rate this a 3/5. I believe it will help those in mourning, I just have reservations about some of the differences with the translation.
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.
