Do you like to journal? Or in older terms “keep a diary”? Were you a big note taker in school? Then the Verse Mapping Bible from Zondervan and Kristy Cambron might just be the thing for you.
When I was given the opportunity to review this bible I truly was curious about Verse Mapping. I had not heard of it before and am always looking for ways to learn and dig deeper in to Gods word. I was surprised at the quality of the NIV Verse Mapping Bible and how easy it was to read, search and work with. Now I won’t tell a story…..this did feel a little like a school book when I first looked. It has a good bit of instruction and “how-to’s”. But all of that is necessary to get full use of this interesting bible version.
I’ve included the full bible description, some various page pictures, and a link for a GIVEAWAY to win a free copy of this bible below. I think you may find it interesting for yourself or as a gift. Check it out~
Bible Description:
Verse mapping means getting real about studying the Bible. More than simply reading a verse or Scripture passage, verse mapping uses Bible study tools to research what you’ve read—to learn about what God is saying and how you can apply his Word to your life. The NIV Verse Mapping Bible includes 350 partially completed verse maps to get you started.
Go beyond just reading the Bible.
Verse mapping means getting real about studying the Bible. More than simply reading a verse or Scripture passage, verse mapping means using Bible study tools to research what you’ve just read in the Bible—to learn more about what God is saying to you and how you can apply his Word to your life today.
In the NIV Verse Mapping Bible, author Kristy Cambron expands her verse mapping curriculum series to include verses from the entire Bible, showing you how to compare Bible translations, pick out meaningful words, and delve into the true meaning of each verse using starter verse maps and prompts. Verse mapping will help you study the historical context, transliteration, translation, connotation, and theological framework of a verse. This unique study technique includes exploring Hebrew and Greek word studies, finding connections in Scripture, comparing Bible translations, and learning as much as you can from your time in God’s Word.
Verse mapping involves five steps:
- Choose: Select a verse and write it out.
- Compare: Record this verse in two or three other Bible translations and underline key words that are the same or different between translations.
- Research: Look up the Hebrew or Greek meaning for the underlined words and record it.
- Consider: Ask questions of the verse. Imagine what it would be like to have experienced what’s happening. Read the verses surrounding this verse and use other study tools to dig even deeper, if you prefer.
- Apply: What is God saying to you? How does this verse relate to your life today?
