"Out of the depths I call to you, LORD!" ~ Psalm 130:1
Have you ever felt stressed, or been anxious, or experienced grief? Have you ever wanted to know how to help a loved one through addiction, marital conflict, or parenting challenges?
I think maybe all of us have, at one time or another felt helpless in not knowing how to help others or even ourselves journey through the trials of this life. We know there are answers to life's questions in God's Word, but we don't always know how to navigate through the Bible to utilize the wisdom found within its pages.

My Review
I especially love the introductions that are provided at the beginning of each book of the Bible. It's different than many study Bibles in that puts all the usual intro material into nutshell form without sacrificing important elements that are needed in understanding the book you are about to read. I love how it clearly states the intent of the writer and always points out how each book points to Christ...in both the Old and New Testaments. Also, the Truth For Healing sections with the overview of key themes and truths related to healing from each book of the Bible is just the icing on the cake for me!
The he said to me, "These words are faithful and true." ~Revelation22:6
