The Take Action Bible in the New King James Version is a handy reminder to believers to get busy about the work of God. It is UltraSlim, making it easy to carry with you, and paperback. The pages are quite thin to make this bible UltraSlim, but the writing is still readable and not too hard on the eyes. Interspersed throughout the Bible text are five groups of stories under the categories of Go, Serve, Give, Heal, and Teach. Each category contains 3 real life stories of people putting action to their faith, and a few thought provoking questions with space to write your answer. There is also a notes sheet at the end of each section.
At the end of the bible, they offer 52 practical ways to serve others, one for each week of the year. These aren't just randomly selected, each has a scripture verse to go with the action, to give you the reason WHY you are doing these things. It's easy to do good things, but it is also easy to forget the meaning behind them or for what purpose we are doing them. This helps to remind you of that.
I was hoping for more inspirational content scattered throughout the Biblical text, instead of being clumped together. I am also concerned about the durability of the Bible, since it is paperback with very thin pages. It is a nice idea, however, to include stories and ideas of ways God has moved others to help to hear His voice a little clearer in our own lives.
