The Take Action Bible



The Take Action Bible: NKJV

The Take Action Bible is a study Bible geared towards people “taking action” to spread the word of God and to help those in need. This Bible is the New King James Version, with the words of Jesus in red and headings before most of the chapters describing what the chapter is about. Among the chapters are color pages and stories of people describing who they are and what they have done to minister and help people around the world. There are also various passages listed for you to read and then questions to answer based on the readings and your life experiences. In the back of the Bible is a yearly reading plan, a Concordance, and color maps of various places of ancient times. Also in the back is a list of 52 Take Action Ideas, one for each week of the year.


I liked the idea of this Bible. In reading the stories of the people who are helping minister to people, it gave me ideas on how to help others and I especially liked the 52 Take Action Ideas. These ideas range from picking up garbage that was tossed and dispose of it properly to volunteering in various places to assist others who are sick and infirm. There were a couple of drawbacks to the Take Action Bible. For one, the print is very small and the paper is very thin. It seems like the paper the Bible is on could tear easily. The color pages are sturdy, so I wish the Bible was printed on the same or similar paper as the color pages. It would make it a little more durable. But overall, I would recommend this version of the Bible to others. I like the idea of the stories of others in it and the recommendations of stuff I could do to help others and make some people’s lives a little easier.
