"Imagine God finding a word, worthy to hold his ultimate thought; his final, eternal, most intimate message to mankind. He frames this thought, not in an ancient language of men or angels, but in an ""earthen jar"", Jesus, the incarnate Word, the one who gives express image to the invisible God in human person! In him dying humanity's death, he brings closure to every lie that we believed about ourselves, and in God co-quickening us in his resurrection, he powerfully introduces us to the redeemed life of our design. Now, with every definition of veil removed, we may behold him as in a mirror, and discover and celebrate our own completeness, endorsed in him! Jesus is God's language and message to mankind. He is the context of Scripture. To add anything to his completed work in revealing and redeeming the image of God in human form, or taking anything away from what God spoke to us in him, is to depart from the essence of the Gospel. There is no perfect translation; there is only a perfect Word: the Logos-logic of God.

The Bible is all about Jesus.

What makes the book irresistibly relevant, is the fact that Jesus is all about you. He mirrors the Incarnate word, face to face with the Father and now unveiled in you! This is the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations! It is Christ in you!

God has found a face in you that portrays him

more beautifully than the best theology. Your features, your touch, the cadence of your voice,

the compassion in your gaze, the lines of your smile,

the warmth of your person and presence unveil him."

Reviews for TEXT ONLY Mirror Bible HARDBACK JUNE 2024 Edition

Reflecting on any translation of Scripture gives one the opportunity to hear our Maker's voice and thoughts, filtered through the interpretation and language of the translator.In this fresh Paraphrase, Francois du Toit has opened the curtain for readers of any age, culture or language to enjoy amazing insights into the heartbeat of Agapē - where everyone feels equally loved, included and valued in the eyes of the Father - and fully redeemed in the union we come from. Archbishop Desmond Tutu - Legacy FoundationIn a world where Bible translations and paraphrases are ubiquitous, The Mirror Study Bible is uniquely beautiful and helpful. Submitted to the original texts and the abiding guidance of the Holy Spirit, Francois du Toit carefully and meticulously opens and explores the treasures of Scripture. Not only does it satisfy the demands of the intellect, but it overwhelms the heart. Wm Paul Young - Author of The ShackThe Mirror Study Bible is a transforming paraphrased translation that is simplistic, accurate, detailed and comprehensive, captivating and at the same time exuding intriguing spiritual revelation; it is divinely insightful and contemporary. It's a must read, a befitting guide and manual for all age groups for; Bible study, meditation, devotion, worship, teaching, instruction and scholarship. Jesus Christ is the epicenter of the entire text. Believers will not miss the centrality of the translation as there is a finite and delicate thread directing to the revealing and redeeming Christ. Unbelievers will derive unrivaled comfort from the text as they get captivated by the reality and close proximity of Christ. This is definitely a life giving and transforming translation. I am humbly convinced that Francois is chosen by God to serve this generation and the next with undiluted truth in the midst of incomprehensible compromises of worldly, heretical and traditional doctrinal interpretations and practices (religion) that have diverted us from the truth. The Mirror Study Bible is a welcome revelatory and revolutionary development that is divinely sanctioned, inspired and directed. This translation is by no doubt a compelling grounding expository of our century. To God be the Glory. Rev. Anouya Andrew Muchechetere - MBA. MA. Former Secretary General of the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe (EFZ).
