"Like going to a trusted Christian counselor, this Bible will guide you in emotional development and relationship health. Doctors Henry Cloud and John Townsend — bestselling authors of How People Grow and the Boundaries series — have created the NIV Life Journey Bible based on their many years of helping patients achieve personal growth and wholeness.

It will enable you to understand God’s heart, which will shed new light on your life path, and lead you on a journey to the answers you’ve been searching for. You’ll see how God’s Word gives you an effective plan to stay spiritually healthy as you transition into and out of life’s various phases. The Insights, Essays, and Profiles offer valuable life lessons by pointing out where emotional health and maturity, or their absence, occur in various stories throughout Scripture. The Life Journey Study Bible is a great tool for anyone seeking personal growth.
