Christian Paradigm Shifts

Do you want a study Bible without carrying around a large, bulky book?  Do you want a Bible that has devotional content? Do you want a Bible that also has video content? Do you want all these features at a reasonable price? The NLT Filament Bible does all of this!! I usually use this NLT Bible: It is an older 2007 NLT edition (not Filament Enabled). The following is a review of the NLT Filament Enabled Bible, Giant Print Personal Size Edition: T he new NLT Giant Print Personal Size Filament Enabled edition is a great step up from my 2007 NLT. I usually have to get out my other study Bibles to reference. Then I would use a separate devotional book. If I wanted to get insight from a video, I would then need to find one on my own. With Filament enabled editions, it is all right there at my fingertips! It's so simple to use! I downloaded the app which is available for FREE at the Apple or Google Play stores. This does leave out Kindle Fire users. Hopefully, they will add the app on Ama...

Photo Credit   Authors: Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein and Tremper Longman III Title: Holy Land Moments Type of book: Daily devotional Summary: Holy Land Moments is a 365 day devotional which reflects on the Old and New Testaments. My opinion: This devotional is not like other devotionals. It is not dated so one can start reading anywhere in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. There is an Old Testament portion which was written by Rabbi Eckstein, the founder and president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews . These devotional segments were enlightening to me because I am interested in the Judaic background of the Christian faith. Rabbi Eckstein covers portions of the Old Testament and the major holy days of the Jewish calendar. The New Testament portion was written by Dr. Tremper Langman III, a professor of Biblical Studies as Westmont College . Dr. Langman expounds on Rabbi Eckstein's portion and shows how these same thoughts are re...
