The NIV Grace and Truth Bible has been compiled by a group of scholars and pastors who have taken great care to present the Gospel to all believers, whether they are new to the Christian faith or have been following Christ for most of their lives. The editorial team was led by the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Dr. R. Albert Mohler, who has dedicated his life to the faithful distribution of God's Word throughout the world. The study and observational notes that fill this Bible have a passion and sincerity to them that compel you to read further; a merging of the earnestness in evangelizing the unbeliever and the compassion to warm the heart of a weary believer who has been battered by the struggles of life. A balance is found between the stark truth of God with His graciousness in our pain and this Bible will lead you into a lifelong study of God's redemptive story.
