The Hope for Today Bible is a New Living Translation that features introductions, Hope for Today messages, ‘HopePoints’, topical scriptures and reading plans to help guide both new and experienced readers of the Bible apply God’s Word to their daily lives.
Joel and Victoria Osteen have gained an international following with their weekly televised broadcasts, worship albums and books.
Joel’s last book, “Become a Better You”, became his second New York Times bestseller, debuting at No 1 and staying on the list for 29 weeks.
