5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, November 11, 2007

If you do a lot of Bible study, I believe that a topical bible is a very useful tool! The Amplified Topical brings exact meanings and a historical context to the research you are doing. Likewise, If you need to locate something in a hurrry, the Topical bible is arranged in a way that makes this possible. NOTE:This does NOT replace a concordance. This is more of a topic tool, rather than a word search tool. It is subject based and narrows your scriptural search down drastically! Be blessed!

The Amplified bible translation is in my opinion the easiest to understand translation of the Bible available. Written in common modern English, the words chosen in translation are both easy to understand and chosen with a view towards the proper emphasis as taken in context. Combining this with a topical reference, it is easy to study almost any subject you can imagine. All in all an EXCELLENT translation and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Bible!, February 10, 2009

The Amplified Topical Reference bible is really all you need for a simple and in depth exhaustive search of many, if not all, topics. I purchased this bible, and it's the one I mainly use because apart from it being Amplified, which gives more insight to meanings right within the verses themselves, it has maps at the end, along with an extensive concordance, and a reference section organized by topics. It's like having Strongs Concordance at the end. It really helps me a lot when I'm studying or preparing a preaching. REALLY GOOD PURCHASE!! I RECOMMEND IT 100%!!
