5.0 out of 5 stars THIS is the Study Bible you want ..., August 5, 2008

This review is from: NIV Life Application Study Bible (New International Version) (Leather Bound)

I've been to many Christian bookstores, purchased (and returned) a few bibles online, talked to friends, scoured publishers websites, read many reviews (including the Christian Research Institute and How to Choose a Translation for All Its Worth: A Guide to Understanding and Using Bible Versions), and have finally concluded and found THE best-of-the best study Bibles currently available and THIS is it.

The NIV is the most read and most trusted Bible translation today. The Life Application Study adds helpful introductions to each book, timelines, statistics, overviews, megathemes, verse-by-verse notes, explanatory notes, maps, charts, diagrams, profiles of Bible people, and background on the time between the two testaments. This Bible uses the NIV cross reference system and includes an index and dictionary/concordance. This Bible's text is in an easy-to-read single column format while the verse-by-verse notes are in a smaller, different text in two columns at the bottom of each page. Additional explanatory notes and profiles are set apart nicely as well. The words of Jesus Christ are in red letter.

Although the description does not say so, this specific item has BOTH the higher grade genuine leather cover AND the indexed thumb tabs with the abbreviations of the books to make them easier to find. It is burgundy with golden-gilded page edges and a burgundy ribbon marker. The ISBN is 0310934028 and the Amazon discount price on a retail price of $89.99 cannot be beat (I got mine at $57 but I have noticed that the price point does change up and down). When your Bible comes, *IF* it does *NOT* have the thumb tabs, please check the ISBN and then exchange it for the right product (it appears that there may be occasional fulfillment challenges with Amazon on this product).

If there were one book I would hope everyone could own, this would definitely be it!

O Lord, Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105)

Bon Appetit!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent study guide, February 23, 2007

This review is from: NIV Life Application Study Bible (New International Version) (Leather Bound)

I really like this Bible. The translation is very easy to read (no "thou shalt"s) and cross-references to other passages as well as questions and explainations about what you're reading to help you understand the subject at hand better. Jesus' spoken words are in red also.

I really recommend this Bible, and for even faster look-up the thumb-indexed version also.
