[Adam Shields · Rating 2 out of 5]

My wife and I read this over a year. And while there were many good devotionals about half of them had very little to do with the scripture that they were attached to. Several of the devotionals were actually saying the opposite of the scripture passage that they were attached to.

The was clearly a devotional that was pulled together primarily from previously written material and not written expressly for this bible. I wish it was better. This could have been a good devotional.

The Bible is a five-star book. The two-star rating is for the devotions.

2024 A book you own but have never read.

[Hilary · Rating 4 out of 5]

We've worked through this a couple of times now, and still find it a useful guide for promoting discussion about thoughtful topics. I did find it most useful the first time around, the first year of our marriage, but even after being married for over 12 years we can still surprise each other with new insights.

My wife and I primarily read this for the devotianals but compared to some couple devotionals out there for Christians this ranks right up there. If you like couple devotionals this is a good one.

[Karina M. Bishop · Rating 3 out of 5]

The devotions are often a stretch to make sense with the scripture. Good to study together but could use more depth.

[Olu Omoasegun · Rating 5 out of 5]
