 My Review: The Tony Evans Study Bible is a beautifully bound black and brown Bible that is packed with information and references to help the reader more effectively study the Bible. This is a Christian Standard Bible (CSB) translation which I personally love. Scripture references and footnotes are a huge part of this Bible, helping you to see the overall picture and to tie together references throughout the entire book.

Pastor Evans also includes personal notes from his own sermons and reflections for added clarity. Each chapter also has a video introduction you can access on your mobile device using the provided QR code. Honestly, I don't have a clue how that works but if you don't have that ability on your phone... there's an app available. There's an excellent concordance, several maps, and I especially love the "Hope Words" highlighted throughout the Bible. I only have one issue with this Bible: I like to make notes in the margins and there is simply no room on many pages. That is a small sacrifice, though, compared to the plethora of notes provided.

GIVEAWAY!! This one will be a quick turnaround. Deadline to enter is Sunday, Nov 17, 2019. Use #TonyEvansStudyBibleL3 in comments under the post to be entered into a random drawing. This study Bible will be an excellent gift for yourself or a Bible scholar.

Kingdom Citizen - Tony Evans

Dr. Tony Evans offers a healthy dose of hope: the solution to our nation’s problems and unrest isn’t out of reach. The solution is here―and each one of us as Kingdom Citizens has a vital role to play.

Be assured that our God is greater than any challenge―and He has promised to equip His people. In Kingdom Citizen, you’ll discover how to respond in faith, in spite of a country and culture in decline.

Here is a powerful call to action for concerned Christians. Here is a call for unity and restoration. And here is strong assurance that each of us has the ability to walk justly, to seek truth, and to stand in the gap for our land. (Amazon site)

My Review: Kingdom Citizens is a short but insightful read on how we, as Christians, should have a role in rebuilding and restoring our relationship with God, the church, our nation, and our fellow citizens. Our country has been in turmoil for several years and it often feels as though we are on a brink of another civil war.

Pastor Evans reminds us to look at our nation's problems through a spiritual lens. We see the mess instead of focusing on how big our God is and leaning on Him. One example used in the book is Nehemiah and rebuilding Jerusalem. He turned to God first and then stepped out in faith, knowing God would move. Most of us worry, get angry, and/or try to figure out a solution. Then we turn to God to pray for his blessing or response to our requests.

This is an excellent book that reminds me of God's promises and encourages me to lean on Him. And... to take action, trusting God to clear the path and show me the way.

I received a copy of this book from the Tyndale Blog Program at no cost to me. However, all opinions are my own.

God Is More Than Enough by Tony Evans

Tony Evans uses a small book, God Is More Than Enough, to do an indepth study on one of the most well-known chapters in the Bible, and shows the incredible relationship God wants to have with YOU. Psalm 23 is such a part of our culture, but too often seems relegated to being quoted during times of serious illness...or funerals. However, Tony Evans leads the reader on a discovery of the joy and peace to be found when applying the words of this poem to many aspects of your life —and to the Shepherd who is able to meet you where you are and provide all you need.

You can read an excerpt of the book here or download a chapter by clicking here.

God Is More Than Enough should have just been a quick read for me, but it was filled with so many nuggets of Truth that I chose to savor and absorb the healing and comforting words as he explained verse by verse just exactly how it pertains to my life. Whether you know nothing about these verses or if this is a portion of Scripture you memorized decades ago...there is much to be gained as you take a look at Psalm 23 through this book. The compact size makes it perfect for carrying with you to peruse when you have a few moments, to do slowly as a small group or private devotions, or to give as a gift. For the ones who are not huge fans of reading, this is a wonderful size. Great book and one I am sure to treasure.
