Couples’ Devotional Bible (NIV) . The “Couples’ Devotional Bible” brings together Bible verses (using the New International Version) with devotional passages from 143 evangelicals, ranging from Dale Evans (wife of TV cowboy Roy Rogers) to Frank Peretti (author of “This Present Darkness” and other best-selling novels of spiritual warfare). Couples who follow the book’s plan can read the Bible text and a useful devotion for each day of the week, with questions and activities for weekends and a subject index on topics from adultery to finances to sex to work. Unfortunately, the devotions do little to help readers understand biblical perspectives on marriage itself.
