Got a Minute? Only a minute? This Bible is designed just for you.

Being a new mom presents many challenges. But one of them doesn’t have to be finding time to connect with God. Throughout this Bible, you will find fifty-two, one-minute Thought-Starters that let you dip into God’s Word for a minute of refreshment. Each of these Thought-Starters is followed by an option for a five-minute prayer or a ten-minute study to help you learn even more about what God’s Word has to say to you today. Devotional thoughts specifically for you, the new mom, are all presented in the most read, most trusted New International Version (NIV) translation.

Already knowing that I love the Busy Mom’s Bible-NIV: Daily Inspiration Even If You Only Have One Minute I was fairly certain that I would also love the New Mom’s Prayer Bible-NIV: Encouragement for Your First Year Together. This is still for “busy moms” never fear, but if you’re a new mom or you know a new mom you probably also know that the term “new mom” is synonymous with busy (or crazy, whichever you prefer). Some days are hard, they really are. You might be questioning what in the world you were thinking and if this parenting this is really what you wanted, but it’s too late to change your mind and you need to get on with life – and then your baby cooes and smiles, or nurses to sleep and you wouldn’t change a thing.

Quick! While she’s sleeping take a hold of your new (and pretty!) Thinline Bible and jump in. Get in a 1 minute, 5 minute or 10 minute devotional and draw a deep breath and you draw yourself closer to God. These little precious people were brought into your life as a blessing and learning just how God will use you to help mold them and guide them into the truth and light of the gifts of grace is quality time well spent.

Outside of the box it only says Holy Bible on the spine, so only you know it’s your special New Mom Bible, but at the same time it can be used any time, because all the scripture is there. It is just that the devotionals added in the same way as the Busy Mom’s Bible are directed toward NEW Moms. I love the way this Bible feels in my hand. The size of this Bible is great to just grab, read and literally go. So many things that I said before I can repeat again with this Bible as well. The font is awesome and one of my favorites, it is very attractive to the eye.

I wouldn’t call this one a daily devotion Bible, but a through out the day devotion Bible. This is one to grab and have a minute with the Thought Starters, Word to Take With You Today, Reflect & Pray, and Study features.

Through out the pages there are 52 Thought Starters, so you could make this work as a year long devotion. Suggested verses to memorize make bringing the Bible devotion off the page and into your busy life. The feature element pages are full of whimsical coloring and great fun fonts and all around this is a very pretty Bible. In a New International Version translation with red-letter Christ text this is a fabulous daily inspiration for all mothers.

Other features include a thorough NIV Concordance, that helps take key words and bring the full text to organization when your brain just cannot remember it all. Then there is a great Study Index that shows topically the studies from the various sections, be it 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. There is also a list that contains five minute readings about Jesus to help you along the way and of course several pages of beautifully detailed maps to bring the area to life.
