You were made for peace—and to be a peacemaker. The sto ry of the Bible is the story of peace. Reading through it from cover to cover you see how ultimately we can have peace with God and  with one another. The Peace of God Bible  points us to the verses that show us how to do just that. How important is it to understand that peace isn’t simply a feeling of calm  or ease?  Maybe this is why some leave the faith, or struggle with their relationship with the Lord.   When we are looking for a feeling because we once felt what we interpreted as the peace of God, undoubtedly we are going to want to find it again. The problem with that is, it is easy to turn to New Age methods labeled with a "Christian" sticker. Yet that is not true peace. Feeling centered, or in control of our life is not true peace.   True peace is knowing and understanding that God through His Word, even if our emotions do not line up .     The Peace of God Bible invites you to...

If you like to take notes, highlight, or draw in your Bible, this Bible allows room for all three.  Though I would not consider myself an artist, I would say that I am artistic. I create things to de-stress and arts and crafts are fun and relaxing for me. Yes, I am one of those moms with a messy craft room filled with yarn, fabric pieces, rubber stamps, and glitter galore. I try my hand at a new craft every once in a while and even sign up to sell at a craft show here and there.  That said, studying the Bible, praying, and worshiping God becomes a creative process for me as well. Not for anyone else to see—only the Lord—but for things to gel in my mind I need to have a pen in my hand and gets things down physically. Things do not fully register with me with a device. I can listen to the word online, read it online, or even type things out online, but until I get it down on pen a...
