5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for..., March 29, 2000

This review is from: NIV Christian Growth Study Bible, Hardcover (Hardcover)

I have used the NIV Study Bible for years and the binding is falling off. I thought about picking up another one and was going to do just that when this Bible caught my eye. It's guided study paths are rather impressive. When I read a few of the in-text articles, I was hooked. They are a bit more to the point than those in the Life Application Study Bible and are exactly the type of thing I'm looking for. I will still use my NIV Study Bible for some study tasks, but the time I spend in the Word seeking to know God more than know about him, I'll spend with the Christian Growth Study Bible. What a pleasant surprise.

This review is from: NIV Christian Growth Study Bible, Hardcover (Hardcover)

I am very pleased with the quick delivery of this book and the condition of it is very good. I have used this study bible many times in the past and it is an excellent buy for the price I paid. I purchased the same book new over twelve years ago and have worn it out. The seam is coming apart and the cover has been taped repeatedly. You know somethings are good when you use them until they literally fall apart. I am so glad that I went to Amazon.com to look for this book. Thank you for selling this gem to me. I actually brought two from two different sellers and and gave one to a friend. I repeatly told her about this study Bible and how much I learned from the study paths. It is an excellent reference tool. She is very happy to have this gem and plans to put it to good use. I am very pleased with the condition of both books and the quickness of deliver. Both sellers get 4+ stars from me.
