The NIV Lifehacks Bible is unique and could be very useful to new believers as well as more mature ones.
Lifehacks Bible?
The idea behind it is the same as the expression “life hacks”- defined as a technique adopted in order to manage one’s time and daily activities in a more efficient way. Take that definition and apply it to the study of the Bible–techniques adopted to help you study the Bible more efficiently and some encouraging topics on living the Christian life.
Help in Reading Scripture
One way to use it is to start with Genesis, where you will encounter Lifehack #1–Seeing Jesus in Scripture. What a great way to begin your way reading through the Bible! Coincidentally, there are 365 life hacks, so you can read your way through the Bible learning one new technique each day. Particularly helpful is the piece on the importance of recognizing Biblical genres and learning to study them appropriately.
For example, a narrative is read differently from the Psalms or Proverbs, and prophetic books are read differently from the gospels, letters and historical books. I copied this particular page and inserted it in my study Bible. Other lifehacks will speak to the issues of a Biblical imagination, genealogies, evangelism, and applying the Bible to the cultural issues of the day. And that is only mentioning a few!
