If your first thought upon seeing the word “TEXT” is that of a teenager sitting in the family room on their phone while the adults are deep in conversation, think again!  Allow me to tell you about the new hip “TEXT” which is short for:

  T-alk to God

  E-ncounter God and humanity in Scripture

eX-amine your heart

  T-alk to others

Ah, now we’re talking, and we’ll be getting down with the B-I-B-L-E!  Yea, that’s the book for me … and you .. and every believer … whether you’re a student, young adult, or new in your walk with the Lord.  Honestly, any experience-level reader will want to use this new TEXT Bible every day as it encourages you to keep the four-step TEXT study method in mind.

Much to my surprise, my husband was the first to pick up the TEXT Bible and start going through it as he exclaimed, “Wow … cool!”  

Within this book, you will find answers to big life questions, and there are close to 100 short devotions regarding the person and character of God.  If you struggle while reading the Scriptures, there are brief explanations of people and events found within to help you better understand.  Brief definitions can be found of important words that will help give a better understanding so we can discuss Scriptures with others.  A feature I especially love is the ability to navigate the Bible across various topics.

Prayer is something I wanted to touch on as well, as often new believers find it hard to form the “right” words when they go to the Lord in prayer.  While there is no right or wrong way to pray, the TEXT may help you be able to pray God’s words right back to Him.  If we tuck His word away in our hearts, no one will ever be able to take that from us.  What’s more, we will be able to claim these things as we begin our prayer to God.  “By YOUR stripes we are healed, Lord …” you might exclaim as you are praying over a sick or wounded loved one.  That is just one example that came immediately to mind.

The TEXT is specifically for anyone interested in becoming confident in engaging Scripture, as it connects Scripture to all of life.  Michael and Hayley DiMarco have done an excellent job as general editors, with this being their third Bible project.

With the TEXT, you don’t feel talked down to at all, but instead, it teaches who God is and how to engage with Scripture.  Most importantly, it equips you by teaching you how to have a personal relationship with God.
