The NIV God’s Word for Gardeners Bible is beautiful, with
lovely lavender and green colors and a gardening-theme cover. The binding is done well, as I always expect
from Zondervan, and although the print is fairly small my old eyes did not have
trouble reading. The margins are also small.
so there is no room for handwritten notes.
It does seem a little disorganized to me, but that could be just because it is an unfamiliar
format. The introduction explains that
the book is divided into three themes: The Garden Tour with 12 weeks of readings,
Garden Work with 23 weeks of readings, and Garden Stories with 10 weeks
readings. There are also 7 weeks of
Garden Tools which were not mentioned in the initial introduction. Devotional essays are included on a separate
page near the Bible verses.
Following the first week, first day of the Garden Tour, I
read Genesis 2:8-15and then a devotional essay on the following page. The study is not overwhelming and can easily be
done daily. The interspersed devotionals
throughout the chapters threw me off a little when trying to find the correct
book and chapter.
It may take a while to become accustom to the format, but this
is a nice Bible that would make a beautiful gift for a gardener.
