Bible Gateway Interviews Joni Eareckson Tada, general editor of the Beyond Suffering Bible 

About 1-in-5 people in the USA live with some type of physical disability; 10 million people a year experience a serious mental illness; and 1-in-6 Americans struggle with chronic health conditions, leading to roughly 65 million Americans providing care for someone with a disability or chronic illness. From singer, artist, radio host, and bestselling author Joni Eareckson Tada and the experts at Joni and Friends Christian Institute on Disability comes the first Bible with study notes that address the topics of disability and suffering. The new Beyond Suffering Bible will release from Joni and Friends and Tyndale House Publishers this October. It’s a combination of both a study Bible and a devotional Bible, with knowledge and insight gleaned from the Scriptures, as well as encouraging words from a wide array of top Christian experts who are often the “go-to” resources when people are looking for direction or next steps when ministering to individuals with disabilities, pain, addiction, and suffering.  In an exclusive arrangement, Bible Gateway is the first to interview Joni Eareckson Tada about the worldwide premier of the Beyond Suffering Bible (Tyndale House, October 2016). Read this interview.  Also see the Facebook Live interview with Joni July 22, 5pm EDT/2pm PDT.

Bible Gateway Interviews Tricia McCary Rhodes on The Wired Soul

Have you noticed: You’re more easily distracted lately? You forget the details of your life more often than you used to? You get easily agitated and have trouble resting, even though you’re more tired than you remember ever being? You struggle to pray, to read the Scriptures, to be still and know that God is God? Technology has greatly improved much of our lives, but in the process our brains are being daily rewired, and our capacity to be centered in our souls is at risk. We live in an increasingly disorienting digital age. Bible Gateway interviewed Tricia McCary Rhodes about her book, The Wired Soul: Finding Spiritual Balance in a Hyperconnected Age (NavPress, 2016). Read this interview.
