Potential Controversy Warning: NLT Courage For Life Study Bible for Men and Women
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2023
- NLT The Courage for Life Study for Men and Women is birthed from the heart of Ann White who wants to teach people to learn how to study the Bible for yourself. This isn’t your ordinary study bible with commentary and explanations; but it presses you to ask questions that challenge you to interpret God’s word for yourself. If you find yourself struggling, it is enabled with the Filament App, which connects you to a world of resources as well.
This bible is designed to take you through four basic bible study steps.
Pray, Observe, Interpret, and Apply.
Pray: As you approach God’s Word, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth.
Observe: Ask, “What does the Bible text say?”
Interpret: Ask, “What does the Bible text mean?”
Apply: Ask, “As I reflect on what I’ve read in God’s Word, what do I need to do?”
It is based on White’s Courage for Life Curriculum that leads you through the Seven Steps to COURAGE:
C: COMMIT to Change
O: OVERCOME Obstacles
U: UNCOVER Your True Self
R: REPLACE Worldly Lies with Scriptural Truth
A: ACCEPT the Things You Cannot Change
G: GRASP God’s Love for You
E: EMBRACE a Life of Grace

I’ll be honest, I struggled with this review, not because the Bible isn’t amazing, but…I guess you’ll just have to watch the video.
As a woman, I do think that women should get credit for serving the Lord Jesus! 😄✝️🎉We do in so many ways! I wish that Ann White was contracted solely for the women's edition and Goss was contracted solely for the men's edition. He should have done his own work and contribution towards the project, or at least added her name into the men's project as a project helper (or make it clear that he just expanded on her original project for the men's edition).
Disclaimer: I, a Christian woman, agree wholeheartedly with 1 Timothy 2:9-15. The Word is inerrant, so we women should understand our role. We have so much value in the Church and should understand that we have so many opportunities to show our congregation the Jesus in us. That doesn't mean we have to be the Pastor in order to do so. (Just wanted to add that!)
Thank you for the review, I loved the women's edition!
Thanks Tim! Credit given where credit is due. We all can learn from this. Excellent observation.
Yes Tim, what you said is correct....we should give credit to women, if they contribute....there should not be any bias....credit should always be given to the person beyond gender....by the way nice study bible and good in depth information conveyance....
Amen Tim. Well said. Thanks for pointing that out. I probably wouldn’t have even noticed it, sadly.
Thank you God bless
Thank you, Tim, excellent review (as always) and good to hear your 'voice'.
Good job on this Tim !! Thank You
Thank you for this update. I am in agreement with your thoughts on women getting credit for their work - no exceptions. I have the Courage for Life Study Bible for Women in hardback, and was thinking about getting the one for men -- just like the She Teads Truth and He Reads Truth (I purchased both). I said then, and will say it again -- they should make a "WE Read Truth" and combine the "He" and "She" versions. So, maybe Tyndale should do a "Courage for Life Study Bible for ALL of us" 😊
Fantastic review, Pastor Tim!! Thank you.
I'm really like the creative way this bible is put together.
Kudos, Tim! Great review! I think you were spot on about giving credit to women who contribute great work to the cause of Christ in the same way that credit is given to their male counterparts. I really appreciate what you do.
Tim, thank you for this review. I just heard about this Bible today. I really appreciate your end comments! Go Bro! 🎉
Hi again Tim! Just as an update to my previous comment, my NLT Courage For Life Study Bible For Women arrived in the mail today and I love it already. I got it in the Fierce Pink Leatherlike cover & it’s so beautiful & colorful. I just briefly skimmed through it, but I can tell that I am going to enjoy studying with it. It has a lot of great features. I’m so happy I bought it.
Thanks again for your Bible review. I always enjoy your videos! God bless!
Hi Tim! Thanks for another fantastic review. I appreciate what you said about women. I agree with you. Giving credit where it’s due.
I pre-ordered the women’s Bible in the leather like Fierce Pink from Amazon. This looks like an excellent Bible. Can’t wait to get it.
I also just bought The Lucado Encouraging Word Bible in Blue Leathersoft from Thomas Nelson and I really love it. It’s great!
God bless you Tim. 💜✝️🙏🏻
I think it’s a shame they couldn’t just do a gender none specific version - we can learn from men and women in the bible
I think changing the male profiles was a good idea.
I agree though I think we can learn from each other.
Thank you for your response. What you've said is spot on! Until the "men's" edition of this Bible is corrected and credit is given to Ann White (or the Goss guy writes his own letter and contributions to the Bible), I cannot in good faith recommend it to any man.
She is listed as a contributor, it’s just odd that a new letter wasn’t written.
I don’t get it. Separation of female and male Bibles? If they want to make study guides for small group studies between men and women, well, that’s one thing, but The Bible has no such thing! Gal. 3:28
And it is very frustrating to see that they whitewashed out the individual who was the responsible person of the work of these editions. Paul commended women in ministry as his coworkers! Paul commended by name such sisters in the Lord as Junia and Phoebe and Priscilla! To disallow the due credit to a woman for being a woman is really a bad choice on the editor/publisher’s side. Very frustrating, indeed!
It would've been less dishonest if they'd had both contributors sign the introductory letter to the reader.
Personal preference, but I dislike the "Abba Father" used in the women's Bible. There is no one holy language and this inclusion implies that English is deficient and we need to learn other languages in order to pray to God "properly" or "lovingly" or whatever was the intention behind its inclusion.
Pretty Bibles, though. Hope they help many people. Thanks for your review!
Maybe they could have credited her with the added information about the person who tweaked it for men. I use commentaries written by women (Karen Jobes for example) and they are wonderful. Women should receive full acknowledgement for their contributions. John-boy Walton called his dad Daddy.
She is listed as a contributor, and there is another letter that names them both.
I agree it’s unfortunate that a woman isn't getting the credit she deserves. But do Tyndale think they can just make a few tweaks here and there to a “Study Bible for Women” and turn it into a “Study Bible for Men”? Both genders are getting shortchanged here!
I think perhaps you have a point, however the nature of this bible works for both genders, since it doesn’t have study notes or commentary. It’s designed to get the reader to interpret for themselves. The profiles are actually written by the gender represented. But, to your point, it is an odd choice.
I would quite like this but I want both male and female character profiles. I don’t just want to know about the men of the bible, there are women in it too and I’d like their profiles.
That’s just not how it generally works out.
I agree with you on women teaching and even preaching. I understand the use of Abba for the women's version. For some people, the word "father" has negative connections.
That’s exactly what they told me. My issue is, that isn’t just an issue with women.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Yes! You're right! I think it deserves a clear explanation, as well.
@anickelsworthbiblereviews Sometimes, I think men should read women's bibles and vice versa.....for perspective. Some people go on and on about "biblical womanhood" and I think it might serve them well to review these women's profiles. They were strong agents. For example, Jael drove a tent-stake through a man's head, for goodness sake.
Brother Tim,I have an unusual question for you. Do you know whatever happened to the Bible reviewer "Bible Believing Christian"? Haven't heard from her in a year or so, and she used to be quite active. Appreciate it. One of your loyal Subbies. 🌹⭐🌹
It seems she stopped reviewing and started doing fragrances and shoes on another channel she has built. I can’t remember what it is called but she was active recently on it. I also know she got sick and had to stop for a while.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Thank you,Brother Tim. Love your channel. Blessings for you and yours 🌹⭐🌹
Is this a sewn binding or glued? I’ve looked online and can’t find any information on this
It is sewn. That’s pretty much industry standard at this point.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews thank you!
Superlative
I’m seeing a pattern here. 🤣🤣🤣
I thought the Bible is for everyone.
Not in some circles.
Of course it is. But it’s nice to have some with helps that minister to specific needs and types.
Women's Bibles are geared toward women and the unique challenges that we face (child bearing, family support, etc)
Men's Bibles are specific to challenges men face (leadership, family protection, etc)
@djlclopez128 so? I think the women's Bibles lack scholarship. I do not have kids, so I find all the motherhood emphasis irritating. I do not WANT answers from other women, either.
@@pkmcnett5649 Well, women are built by God to have children and it's ingrained in our DNA by Him to do that. Women's Bibles are obviously going to contain motherhood emphasis. If you don't want to have a specifically labeled women's Bible, then choose something different. We don't have children yet and I don't own a women's Bible yet either, but that doesn't mean I don't want one just because I don't have children. I want one because I'm a Christian woman after God, and I want to learn from other women of faith.
Titus 2:3-5 specifically tells older women to teach the younger women how to be women of God. You shouldn't be annoyed by receiving teaching from other women, but accept their advice and teaching with humility.
Too busy for me.
Everyone has preferences. Thank God we have many many options.
Over 10 minutes...
I know!!! I’m gonna have to change my name if I don’t chill! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@anickelsworthbiblereviewsYou're right, though. Nowadays it is pretty controversial to say women are not men and men are not women! 😂 Thanks for another great review
@amptown1 well the controversy is that I believe women can teach men.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Sweet!
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews😂 I know, I was just being silly. This is a super controversial issue and people can be very passionate about it. I think it's a little bit shady that her name was removed/replaced in the letter and salvation invitation.
Hey Tim, could you do a review on the NLT chronological life application study Bible second edition? It hasn't come out yet, but if you have it, can you review it? Thanks again for another good video, God Bless 🕊🤍💛
It’s on deck! I have it now.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews sweet 😋 looking forward to the review, thanks again.
I am looking forward to a review as well!
