NIV Verse Mapping Bible: How to Study God’s Word – Review
Today, I’m reviewing the all-new NIV Verse Mapping Bible and the Verse Mapping bible study method by Kristy Cambron.
Hey Sis! Have you set any spiritual goals this year? Are you longing to build a deeper or stronger connection to God and His Word? Or maybe you’re looking for a new way to study the Bible this year?
If you answered yes to any one of these questions, then I’ve got a great resource for you.
What is Verse Mapping?
Have you ever read a verse and not understood the context or meaning of the verse? Have you wanted to dig deeper into understanding the history and cultural practices around a certain passage of scripture? Well, verse mapping helps with that! Verse Mapping is a bible study method developed by Author Kristy Cambron. It helps you dig deeper into to God’s word by researching what you’ve read, exploring what God is saying, and applying it to your daily life. 5 easy steps guide you through this method.
- Choose: Select a verse and write it out.
- Compare: Record this verse in two or three other Bible translations and underline keywords that are the same or different between translations.
- Research: Look up the Hebrew or Greek meaning for the underlined words and record it.
- Consider: Ask questions of the verse. Imagine what it would be like to have experienced what’s happening. Read the verses surrounding this verse and use other study tools to dig even deeper, if you prefer.
- Apply: What is God saying to you? How does this verse relate to your life today?
What’s in the Verse Mapping Bible?
In the NIV Verse Mapping Bible, author Kristy Cambron expands her verse mapping curriculum series to include verses from the entire Bible, showing you how to compare Bible translations, pick out meaningful words, and dive into the true meaning of each verse using verse maps and prompts. Verse mapping will help you study the historical context, transliteration, translation, connotation, and theological framework of a verse. This unique study technique includes exploring Hebrew and Greek word studies, finding connections in Scripture, comparing Bible translations, and learning as much as you can from your time in God’s Word.
Top Features
What I love most about the Verse Mapping Bible are the guided prompts to help you verse map as you read. This month, I am focusing on the book of Hebrew, and I am truly soaking in each passage. This Bible has approximately 350 partially completed verse maps. I also love that I am learning about the Greek and Hebrew translations of certain words to enhance my understanding of the passage further. In my review, The Verse Mapping Bible is not just a typical Bible. It’s the perfect all-inclusive Bible for all seasons of faith. It’s available on Amazon, Christianbook.com., Barnes & Noble, and the Church Source.
