Book Review – The Take Action Bible
Thomas Nelson’s The Take Action Bible is intended as a starter to ministry and social justice. It is the entire Bible in the New King James Version, with words of Christ in red, multiple pages of real-life stories of action, 52 social ideas, and standard Bible contents such as a concordance and maps. Beautifully done paperback with a gloss that seems waterproof adorns the exterior. The cover image is an African holding rice in his hand over a rice bucket. There back cover details the features of this particular Bible, along with a statement from Richard Steans, the president of World Vision. World Vision collaborated with Thomas Nelson Publishers for this venture, in an attempt to get more Christians involved in social issues, fulfilling such scriptures as Psalm 82:3-4, James 2:15-17, Luke 14:13-14, and Matthew 10:42. This Bible is wonderfully done with the interior images as well, which are inspiring true stories of ways that others are making a difference. These are also done on glossy pages. Nicely done, low priced (~$12), this is an easy way to get a copy of God’s Word with ideas to jumpstart your serving.
This book was given to me for free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze program in exhange for an honest review.
