Abide in Me, and I in you.
JOHN 15:4
Do you yearn for life-giving, intimate communion with God? The Abide Bible is designed to help you experience the peace, hope, and growth that comes from encountering the voice and presence of God in Scripture. Every feature in Abide is designed to teach and develop Scripture-engagement habits that help you know the power and spiritual nourishment of abiding in Christ.

Created in partnership with Bible Gateway and the Taylor University Center for Scripture Engagement, The Abide Bible’s features include articles, book introductions, and practical Scripture engagement prompts based on five ways of engaging deeply with the Bible:
- Praying Scripture: Pattern your prayers after biblical texts, personalizing the prayer and gaining language for the thoughts and emotions you want to express.
- Picture It: Place yourself in a biblical narrative as a bystander or participant in important events.
- Journaling: Focus and reflect on Scripture and its meaning for your life, opening yourself to God’s voice as you ponder.
- Engage Through Art: Consider a classic piece of art—photograph, sculpture, painting—and let it deepen your meditations on scriptural truths.
- Contemplate: Follow the church’s longstanding practice of reading, meditating on, praying, and contemplating a passage of Scripture in order to experience God’s presence through the words of the Bible.
Features include:
- Bible book introductions provide a concise overview of the background and historical context of the book about to be read
- 365 Day Bible Reading Plan guiding you through the entire Bible in a year
- Line-matched, single-column Scripture text for improved readability
- Smyth-sewn binding lays flat in your hand or on your desk
- Two satin ribbon markers allows you to easily navigate and keep track of where you were reading
- Easy-to-read 9-point NET Comfort Print

ABOUT THE NET VERSION
The New English Translation (NET) is the newest complete translation of the original biblical languages into English. In the mid-1990s, a multi-denominational team of more than twenty-five of the world’s foremost biblical scholars gathered around the shared vision of creating an English Bible translation that could overcome old challenges and boldly open the door for new possibilities.
The NET’s uniquely transparent, accountable translation process has been crystalized in the most extensive set of Bible translators’ notes ever created. More than 60,000 notes highlight every major decision, outline alternative views, and explain difficult or nontraditional renderings.

My Thoughts
Your word is a lamp to walk by,
PSALM 119:105
and a light to illumine my path.
The Abide Bible has a soft leather cover and colorful pictures. It’s perfect for my unique, quirky self. I loved this translation! It’s so easy to read with all the prompts. I often get distracted reading the Bible with endless questions, daydreaming, wondering how to connect the dots throughout Scripture, and hungering to find hidden treasures and deeper understanding. This Bible allows me grace and a way to engage with God more deeply. It allows me to explore my curiosities and encourages my hunger to encounter God’s voice and presence in Scripture. I found this Bible to be both beautiful and adventurous, and I know that it will provide peace, hope, growth, and nourishment as you abide in Christ. This Bible encourages those who want to discover the heart and purpose of God to dive deep into the Word. I highly recommend this Bible.
