According to Richard Foster, bestselling author (\u003cem\u003eCelebration of Discipline\u003c\/em\u003e) and the project's editor, the Bible is all about human life with God. As we read Scripture, we should consider how God is with us in each story and allow ourselves to be spiritually transformed. Many people are looking for a new way to read the Bible, not as a text to be mastered. but as a story to enter into and a lifestyle to pursue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique Bible, spearheaded by Foster and author Dallas Willard (\u003cem\u003eThe Divine Conspiracy\u003c\/em\u003e), introduces the concept of life with God - or the with-God life - a model for seeing the whole of Scripture as the unfolding story of God's plan for our loving relationship with the Creator. This central theme weaves throughout the essays, introductions, notes, and exercises, powerfully revealing how God is present to his people today and throughout history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet our relationship with God should not be passive. Concrete practices - Spiritual Disciplines - have been used throughout church history to guide disciples of Jesus. The\u003cem\u003e NRSV Life with God Bible\u003c\/em\u003e integrates the Spiritual Disciplines into the Christian life by showing how they are central to the Bible's teachings and stories. Abraham and Ruth, Moses and Deborah, Jesus and the disciples all provide amazing examples of the life-changing power of prayer, worship, fasting, celebration, and many other Spiritual Disciplines. Scripture thus becomes a primary means for the discovery, instruction, and practice of these disciplines as well as a tool for spiritual formation. Combining the highest possible biblical scholarship with the deepest possible heart devotion, this NRSV Bible seeks to nourish inner transformation by unlocking and revealing the profound resources within Scripture for changing our hearts and characters and bringing them in line with what God wants for our lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete text of the New Revised Standard Version (Protestant canon), vetted by an ecumenical pool of Christian academics and renowned for its beautiful balance of scholarship and readability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApocryphal and Deuterocanonical books placed between the Old Testament and New Testament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreviously published as \u003cem\u003eThe Renovar  Spiritual Formation Bible\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsightful introductions for each book of the Bible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of notes highlight main themes for the with-God life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiritual exercises - challenging and relevant exercises to deepen a reader's encounter with God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopical index - a glossary of Bible references designed to help with further study \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 Progressive essays on living the with-God life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 60 profiles of key biblical characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Pages of maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcordance - an index to help locate familiar words phrases, and verses in the Bible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-column format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact edition is ideal for carrying to work, school or travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.8-point type size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49553355931921,"sku":"GOR007841106","price":111.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49724888219921,"sku":"CIN0061834963G","price":50.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50032181379345,"sku":"CIN0061834963A","price":13.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50124461801745,"sku":"CIN0061834963VG","price":73.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51898535805201,"sku":"GOR011646811","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0061834963.jpg?v=1751100652","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/nrsv-the-life-with-god-bible-compact-paperback-book-richard-j-foster-9780061834967","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
