Dad's Bible

Often times, men seem to be so engaged with work and everyday life that picking up the Bible to read can almost be a bit of a daunting task. It's a big book and with the little time that most fathers have in their lives, it often collects dust on the bookshelf. However, the idea of a Dad's Bible is an encouraging way to draw a father in but also to give them biblical examples that can help guide them on their everyday journey through life. 

When I found out that I had the opportunity to review this Bible, I jumped right at the request. Book Sneeze allowed me to review this book for free. Happily, I also wanted to test the waters by getting this book for my husband. Excitingly, this Bible has a lot going for it. 

Created in manly colors and rustic-like pages, this Bible begins with a personal forward to fathers. Following this forward is Genesis and within Chapter 1 lies a section about how to apply that beginning chapter to fatherhood. There are many mentions of Dad's in the Bible, examples of Godly character, and even a thick section with questions and answers towards the back. I love the index at the end which can be very useful for fathers who need a quick reference particularly for disciplining their children. 

This is a well laid-out Bible that sticks mainly with actual Bible wording and has minimal snippets throughout. With Father's Day quickly approaching, this would make one great gift!
