Mom’s Bible: God’s Wisdom for Mothers- Review


I have recently being doing my bible studies in a bible called Mom’s Bible: God’s Wisdom for Mothers. Traditionally I have used a NIV version of the bible. This particular bible is in the New Century Version. There is a difference is the text. The NIV is definitely not written in modern language. The New Century is written with modern words and language. It is very easy to read. The meaning of the text is not lost in this translation. In the introduction it mentions that the authors of the New Century Version worked off of the original Greek and Hebrew text. It is easy for busy moms to read.

The Mom’s Bible has great features.
  • There is a feature called Insights. They are text boxes scattered throughout the bible. They really help you apply the passages they feature to your everyday life.

  • There is a feature called Wonderful Counselor that has insight from Christian therapist on tough issues. I really loved the essay on How to Be a Good Mother When You Weren’t Mothered Well. It is linked to Isaiah 41:10: “So don’t worry, because I am with you. Don’t be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you.”

  • There is a feature called Our God Is that works on building your knowledge of God.

  • There is a feature called Walk In that looks at having balance in your life.

  • There is a feature called Moms in the Bible that helps you sharpen your understanding of your role as a mother.

  • There is a feature called Passing It On that helps with you principles you want to teach your children.

There is so much to this bible.
If you have a busy mom who loves the Lord, this would be a great book to have.
