Recommended: Spiritual Formation Bible

If you are in the market for a new Bible (and even if you aren’t) I highly recommended the Renovare’ Spiritual Formation Bible. Here’s a description from the publishers:
Five years in the making, the Renovaré Spiritual Formation Bible seeks to recover the dynamics of Scripture for the spiritual trans^formation of the people of God: past, present, and future. It provides a view of Gods community through history, the ups-and-downs, ins-and-outs of a with-God life. While other study Bibles serve as resources for sermon exposition, higher criticism, or personal devotion, the Renovaré Bible helps us capture the reality of living with the Trinitarian community in the ever-present kingdom of God. It recasts the Bible as the primary written resource for informing our minds and transforming our spirits in Christlikeness.
As part of making the Bible more accessible for the process of intentional formation in Christlikeness, the Renovaré Bible includes:
– major essays and graphic representations highlighting 15 expressions of the With-God Life;
– essays and notes for each book of the Bible;
— 50+ character sketches giving a sense of the ways key Biblical figures lived with-God;
– an index of places various spiritual disciplines appear in the Scripture.
Compared to similar study/devotional Bibles it is very affordable ($26) and comes chock full of helpful resources that enhance and enrich rather than distract.
It can be purchased at either the Renovare’ site or at Amazon.
