When I first heard that Mindy Dunn was creating a Virtue Training Bible, I was beyond thrilled! I immediately contacted her to let her know that I wanted to review it & host a giveaway. We ALL love giveaways, don't we?!
We already have the Child Training Bible & LOVE it! Some people may shy away from purchasing the CTB because they don't have kids. Don't let that stop you. We all have areas that we need to work on!
So just WHAT is a Virtue Training Bible? Well, I'm glad you asked!
With 48 different character traits, the Virtue Training Bible is a tool that will allow you to focus on just about any area that you need help with. Whether its being more compassionate, seeing things through with diligence, forgiving those that wrong you, or having more patience, the VTB can help you.
Most everyone who reads & believes the Bible, knows that it contains the answer to every problem imaginable within its pages. But do you know how to find the answers when you need them? If you are a Bible scholar, you might, but most people would have to search for those results.
The VTB makes it simple for you!
It includes a guide that is color coded so all you have to do is locate the colored tab that lines up with your trait & flip to that page. Then look for that verse that has been marked in the same color.
Simple huh?!
Now we don't have any excuse not to look up how to improve our weak areas!
You can order the VTB for only $9. It includes the color chart & 3 scripture charts.
GOOD NEWS! It is compatible with ANY Bible! That's right, if you only use a specific version, you don't have to worry about it coinciding with your beliefs. My family does not use anything other than KJV, which is hard to find sometimes.
The only other things that you need to go along with your VTB charts is a Bible (whichever one you want), colored tabs (I got mine at Staples here & here, although they have them packaged together in the store), and colored highlighters, pencils, or crayons ( I use Crayola Twist Up Colored Pencils, also available at Staples or Walmart, because I like the way it allows the words to show through & I can erase my mistakes).
Once you have all of your supplies, you are ready to start the fun! Locate the first verse on the first trait (Compassion), highlight it, and add your tab to the top of the right hand page (even if the verse is on the left). Continue tabbing & highlighting Compassion until you have done all of the verses. Then move on to Contentment. Try to keep the tabs lined up so that when it is closed, they look even. This may mean that you place & replace the tabs a few times to get it right. Make sure that you overlap the tabs just a little as you go on to the following traits or they won't all fit across the pages.
It will take some time to tab & locate all of the scriptures, but consider it preparation for the harvest! If you enter into this project with that in mind, you will be blessed!
Now, don't you want one too?!
Enter here for a chance to win your own!

I have realized that through it all, man will let you down, friends will let you down, & you will let yourself down more times than you can ever count. God will never let us down. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I AM WHAT I AM!

sounds like a great way to learn chapter and verse.
Forgiveness - I can hand it out to complete strangers but with family it becomes harder. (also over from UBC)
I am very impatient.
Oh gosh, I'm quite impatient and I have to say that I'm not a practising Christian (even though I've been Christened!)
I am trying harder every day to be more patient, especially with my kids.
What a brilliant idea. We use an NIV Study Bible but even that can be quite complicated. Sadly I am in the UK so I don't think I can enter. But lucky the person that wins :)
I don't think I have it limited to the US. Enter anyway.
I am struggling with peace.
Contentment and self-control are issues that we as a family need to work on . . . myself included!
ohhhhhh we all need to learn self control at my house!
Pride. And Anger. But mostly pride, because that's the root of my anger.
Self control. i'm very defensive
I just don't seem to have enough patience these days!!!!
You know how bad I want this don't you!!!!!!!
YEP! I immediately thought of you!!
I'd have to say the character trait I need the most help with is Self Control.... in just about everything but mostly what goes into my mouth (food) and what comes out of my mouth (words).
