Life Counsel Bible Articles

I checked out some of the articles. There seems to be a focus on sex-related issues. I counted ten articles just on homosexuality issues. Others were on porn, sex outside of marriage, abuse, adultery, abortion, and other related topics. Several seemed to overlap.

If you’re a parent seeking wisdom on child rearing, you’ll find many parenting articles. Looking for marriage advice, you’ll find that as well.

Are you single? Several articles are geared specifically to the single life.

Life Counsel Bible Review

The Life Counsel Bible is definitely a specialized Bible. While it includes study features like book introductions, concordance, and maps, the focus is on the articles. Each of these is an excerpt from a book. Though it appears they are strategically placed within related Scripture, not all are directly related to a specific passage. According to the Bible, the authors are respected counselors, but I wasn’t familiar with most of them.

I don’t know that this is a Bible I would personally use, but it would make a good gift for friends who are struggling and seeking wisdom but are unsure where to turn.
