Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled." Romans 15:4 NLT The NLT DaySpring Hope & Encouragement Bible presents God's Word as more than a collection of stories from ancient history - but as a living testament, both old and new, that God is actively authoring your life. Be encouraged through the example of the faithful that have lived before us, as God has sent tremendous blessings to those that He loves, but more importantly, He has been a present source of joy and perseverance through some of the greatest trials that any people have ever had to face.
