I’m excited to share about the new Life in Christ Bible from Thomas Nelson. Many features are similar to other Bibles I’ve read, but this one does have some unique features I think you’ll like.

God has a purpose for each and every one of us. However, it’s not always easy to know where you fit in. That’s where the Life in Christ Bible can be helpful. It is a beautiful Bible designed to help readers find their identity in Christ, to discover who God says you are. Key reminders include:

• You are important because you are made in the image of God.
• Explore how the gospel of Jesus Christ makes you a new person.
• Learn how who God says you are changes how you think, speak, work, and move through the world.

The Life in Christ Bible is a beautiful Bible that’s available in a variety of options, including hard cover or black, cream, or brown leathersoft, or brown bonded leather. The copy I received is the brown leathersoft cover. It’s nice and flexible. The Bible includes gold-edged pages and Christ’s words in red letters. There are two ribbon bookmarks (one brown and one blue). The font is a a little smaller than some Bibles I have read, and the book, overall, is a bit on the heavy side. However, I have found that it is quite easy to prop up against other things on my desk, which makes it easy to read.

 

I love how each book begins with an introduction dates covered, author, occasion, main idea, key verse, and how to find our identity in Christ in that particular book.

 

Each book contains a sidebar with cross-referenced verses pertaining to the identity of Christ themes contained in that book of the Bible.

This Bible also articles and inspiring quotes, along with charts, tables, and colored maps.

 

 

While there are a number of features unique to this particular version, the Bible, at its core, is the NKJV, and readers could overlook these additional features if desired. 

At the beginning, there is a general overview of the Bible, as well as the contributors. It explains the Identity notes, and it also lists the 40 identity themes, which include:

• I create
•  I matter
•  I worship
•  I Am Chosen
•  I Am Forgiven
•  I Have A Purpose
•  I Live with Joy
•  I Live with Love
• I Live with Peace

This Bible also contains a number of identity articles on topics such as disability, marriage, parenting, self-worth, and the image of God.

There are charts, tables, maps, and even Bible reading plans included which are quite interesting and helpful. Something that’s in this version that I’ve never seen in others are lists of kings, names of God, a list of occupations, and notable women. I have heard of these, but it’s nice to have things compiled as is done here. 

 

Here’s a video where you can check out this beautiful new Bible.
