5.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended -- Detailed footnotes for nearly every verse, January 11, 2007
This review is from: Life Application Study Bible (King James Version) (Hardcover)
I really like this bible. There are definitions at the bottom of each pg. for the hard to understand or rarely used words. Also footnotes for nearly every verse to help understand the meaning. I prefer the KJV over the NIV (although the KJV is written in an older style text) because the NIV takes out certain parts of verses or changes words altogether which change the message. If you want to know what I mean check out Romans 8:1 for one example.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Rom 8:1
The NIV leaves out the last part which says, "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Which is a very important part of the message. As cross-references would agree. We are definitely saved by grace through faith as written in Ephesians 2:8,9.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph 2:8,9
However putting this altogether as briefly as I can works do not save us but is the outward representation of our faith. James 2:17 says:
"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." James 2:17
If you have a bible continue reading that in context from James 2:17-26. Sorry for making this long, I hope this review has helped. If you are looking to purchase a bible I definitely recommend the Life Application Study Bible (KJV). The footnotes will help you understand the message in context if you have a hard time with the meaning.
God Bless!

The experience that I have had learning from this life application bible is wonderful. I like the way it flows and the way it simplifies everything. My bible classes are so much easier now.

Good Bible for a "baby" Christian, June 28, 2011
This review is from: Life Application Study Bible (King James Version) (Hardcover)
This is a good Bible for someone new in the faith or who has is just learning to really delve into the Word of God. It has a lot of character studies and explains every book of the Bible with easy to understand explanations for each verse. However, once you want more "meat and potatoes" this Bible will no longer satisfy. You will reach a certain point in your walk with God when you want deeper explanations and understanding of God's Word. I have just reached that point and no longer find my life app Bible to be satisfactory for Bible study. A MacArthur study Bible has been recommended to me for that. But I do strongly recommend the life application Bible for someone just beginning to study the Bible who wants clear, basic explanations for verses.
