Reflecting God Study Bible

A Life That Pleases God. If one word sums up what God is looking for in your life, it is holiness. But what does a holy life look like, and how can you overcome sin to live such a life? The Reflecting God Study Bible is designed to help you grow in holiness--not by your own effort, but by God's grace. It addresses directly your heart's deepest desire to have your life reflect, to ever-increasing degrees, the character of your Heavenly Father.
