This unique resource, a new concept of study Bible appealing to the heart-felt emotions of worship, was created to facilitate personal daily encounters with God. While most study Bibles speak to the academic, cognitive side of a worshiper, The NIV Worship Bible speaks to the emotional side. Each page is designed to bring believers into God's presence and lead them in expressing their personal response of worship to him. The Bible's My Beloved feature pages, written as if letters from God, are especially moving, said Mike Vander Klipp, Zondervan's senior Bible editor. You are actually interacting with God on an emotional level.
Most study Bibles focus on the mind.
This Bible focuses on the heart and soul. Owens describes The NIV Worship Bible as a grass roots Bible with which readers strengthen their personal relationship with God by responding to Him through prayer, meditation or song. White space is available on each page to allow the reader to record and date encounters with God. Each page is a starting point of conversation with God. Offering a understanding of worship in the Bible, this article provides you with a solid basis for listening and responding to God in your own worship experiences as it introduces you to the features of this Bible.
