The Book of Jeremiah: The Holy Bible, King James Version, GIANT Print Bible
Famous for the story of David and Goliath, First Samuel chronicles the amalgamation of a scattered group of people who became unified to form the nation of Israel. Saul is King, to be succeeded later by David. David is portrayed from his days as a young red head shepherd boy, who played his harp to soothe King Saul to a mighty warrior. Later, in Second Samuel, Saul dies, David grieves, and then later becomes King and establishes his reign. David is also victorious in battles – a mighty warrior, but he fails to command his flesh into submission and commits adultery with Bathsheba. He repents, God forgives him and he is remembered as being a man after God’s own heart. This giant print book of First and Second Samuel is : a book that illustrates God great love for us- he forgives, he rebukes, he chastens, but he still loves perfect for witnessing and ministry, great for elderly folks and residents of nursing homes, great read while travelling, perfect for individuals with low vision, and a great tool for Bible Study and small group discussions. The book's construction makes it such that it is : easy to carry around, light weight, printed on rich acid-free paper clear, bold, giant print

Good News According to Jeremiah
I have loved this book since I was a little girl, all emo and feeling the suffering of the world in my small self. Over the years I've trudged through it, having forgotten how much of the book is parched and awful-feeling. However, a theme that resounds through many chapters like a very quiet background rhythm is the refrain from God, "I see and I know." Two of the most comforting, or sometimes intimidating, statements ever (depending on WHAT He sees and knows). Either way, though, it's a reminder of His sovereignty. Nobody else sees and knows like He does. I imagine it must have been a comfort to Jeremiah, sunk into his muddy pit or speaking to the jeering crowds. He was not alone. We are NEVER alone. I am never alone.
How could even one good thing come from war and suffering?
Israel judged, exiled, yet still serving gods that harm and kill.
Jeremiah, at God’s word calling them, yet so unheard.
Nations swarming through the land executing God’s command:
“Show My people life without my protection. Drive them out
From their home. Remove their joy. I’ll allow you to destroy.
But they will not disappear. I still love. And I’m still near.
And though they linger far too long, some will turn and see their wrong.
Some will ache for me again. They, My remnant, will begin
Their repentance, and I’ll show mercy, tenderness. I know
All my plans for them: They’re bright! I will bring them hope, delight.
I’ll secure them with a strong promise. Yes! They’ll all belong
In My hand, and I will write Love into their hearts and minds.
No more sorrow. No more death. They’ll be safe, content, and blessed.
Through their weeping, I’ll provide Myself: Good News that will abide.”
