CSB Life Counsel Bible Review
*Disclaimer: Many thanks to Lifeway Christian Resources for providing a sample of the product for this review. All my opinions are 100% my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.
Have you ever felt stressed, or been anxious, or experienced grief? Have you ever wanted to help a loved one through addiction or even a parenting challenge in your own life?
I know we have dealt with something like this in our lives. For the past year, my life has seemed like it’s been on a downward spiral with things that have happened and with my health. I would soon need to see an oncologist, and my immunologist has found some things in my bloodwork. We will discuss my options when I see her in March, and honestly, I’m looking forward to some relief. However, the Holman Bible and New Growth Press created this fantastic new biblical counseling resource. The Life Counsel Bible provides practical wisdom for all, equipping its readers with biblical truths and counsel on various topics and challenging life issues.

My Thoughts on the Bible
As someone who deals with a lot health-wise and has a special needs child, this Bible has been a life-changer for me. I have found several articles that I feel were geared with me in mind, like Autism Spectrum Disorder – Meeting Challenges with Hope and Overcoming Anxiety. The CSB Life Counsel Bible has been a significant change in how I read the Bible and makes me excited to sit down alone and reflect on life. Having the words large enough to see without needing my reading glasses is a huge plus, too. Overall, this Bible is one that I wouldn’t mind sharing with those who may need it the most.
Now that the Christmas season is upon us and giving gifts is something I love to do, I may provide a copy of this to someone in my life. Purchase your copy of the CSB Life Counsel Bible today!
