Believe, NIV: Living the Story of the Bible to Become Like Jesus

Believe includes short topical passages from the NIV Bible, unlocking the 10 key beliefs, 10 key practices, and 10 key virtues that help people live the story of the Bible. This hardcover Bible breaks this 30-week Scripture experience into three 10-week sections that help you learn the core truths of the Christian Faith.

How do you think, act, and be like Jesus?

Whether you have first experienced The Story or are reading Believe on its own, we want to introduce you to the key truths of Scripture in a clear and accessible way.

Randy Frazee, Senior Minister of Oak Hills Church developed this church-wide discipleship program to take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your beliefs, actions, and character. This 30-week experience has three 10-week segments that walk you through the 10 key beliefs of the Christian faith, the 10 key practices of a Jesus-follower, and the 10 key virtues that characterize someone who is becoming more like Jesus. Each chapter uses Scripture text from the clear, accessible New International Version to help you live the story of the Bible.

My review:

When I first heard of this book I actually was expecting a bible but when I received it I saw that it only has selections from the bible. It should not be labeled under bible because one might think that’s what it is. Each chapter includes a Key Idea and a Key Verse along with selections from the bible based on what each chapter is about. The back of the book includes discussion questions and chart of references for each chapter of the book. Overall I enjoyed this book, it’s great as a 30 day devotional! It’s very informative, I’d definitely recommend this to a new believer. I give it 4 stars.
