"The Gaither Homecoming Bible: Inspiring Hope through
Scripture, Song, and Story" was sent to me for a review. Lately I have been
getting mostly eBooks to review as I get them quicker; however when this Bible
came up for review I wanted to see what it was all about.
I have always loved the Gaither’s
music and video’s so I figured I would like the extras in the Homecoming Bible
as well. I was more than correct in my thoughts. Included in the text are many
features that I loved.
The first thing I loved was that
there were scriptures that pertain to music that are highlighted throughout. As
a sound man and also just a guy who loves music this is a cool feature when
reading the Word.
The second thing that I loved was that they put in
lyrics to some of the old Hymns and the storied behind them. It is always good
to look back into the history of why and how the Hymns were written, and what
the meaning is behind them. Learning the struggles and stories of those who
have come before us will allow us to grow and to, maybe even, write new songs
that will inspire those who come after us.
The third thing that I loved was that many of the
Gaither Homecoming Friends have written little stories that appear throughout
the scriptures. These stories share their lives with us and show how the word
speaks to them. These stories or insights help to show that singers and writers
are ordinary people who have ordinary lives.
The Bible is the New King James Version and is in a
nice larger print. I would recommend this Bible to anyone who wants to add a
nice looking Bible their collection.
