5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed when I needed it..., June 6, 2007

This review is from: The Everyday Life Bible: The Power of God's Word for Everyday Living (Hardcover)

I will preface this by saying that I am just beginning my path back to God and that I have tried reading many Bibles but often felt like I was left feeling like "yeah, that's all well and good but what does this have to do with my life right now?".

Last fall, I lost my job. That was a devastating event for me (which, in retrospect, turned out to be a blessing). I had tremendous anger -- at my former employer, at my family that seemed unwilling to help, at my husband, at the world... While "consoling myself" by indulging in a trip to Barnes and Noble -- one of my favorite haunts -- something drew me to the aisle full of Bibles.

I picked up this Bible and flipped it open and what I read -- both from the Scripture and from Ms. Meyers -- really spoke to me. No matter the subject, Ms. Meyers has a way of discussing it that tells me that she has been there and struggled with the same things I struggle with. She is able to make even the most difficult passages seem relevant and is able to tie it into every day real world life.... thus the name.

By reading this Bible, I have been able to find peace, grow in faith, develop stronger relationships and start being the person I know that God wants me to be.

I think many people read the Bible but after they are done reading, they put it away and go on with life as usual. This Bible makes it difficult to just "put away" because on every page, you are guaranteed to read something that will tie into something that is currently happening in your life. THAT, to me, is truly what sets this Bible apart from all the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Joyce Meyer Bible, October 30, 2006

This review is from: The Everyday Life Bible: The Power of God's Word for Everyday Living (Hardcover)

I believe many good people are stumbling over the definition of what a "Study Bible" is supposed to be. This Bible is excellent for those who love Joyce Meyer and her teachings. Her comments and articles are scattered throughout the text and provide her usual practical applications of the Scriptures. The indexes in the back pages are a good place to start "studying with Joyce" and find wisdom and comfort for our daily lives (hence the title, "The Everyday Life Bible"). If you've been blessed by Joyce Meyer's teachings over the years, this Bible won't disappoint.

This review is from: The Everyday Life Bible: The Power of God's Word for Everyday Living (Leather Bound)

I was interested in trying the Amplified Bible when I spied this one in the AB section of a local bookstore. I wanted a leather edition of the AB and this fit the bill, with the addition of Joyce Meyer's comments. I was not seeking a Joyce Meyer product. The Everyday Life Bible has decent book introductions and some brief notes and commentary in each book. They tend to be more devotional or application in nature. Joyce wisely avoids doctrinal issues, especially in the book of Revelation. She concentrates on everyday studies about life issues, applying the Word of God in your life, and some topical studies in the back. There is no concordance and very minimal reference verses. I actually find the minimalist approach to be refreshing. I have nearly every study bible in print and have learned much from them; I cannot fault them. It is nice, however, to find a devotional type bible that simply focuses on my walk with Christ and does not get bogged down in study notes. I also am appreciating the AB translation; it really does help me understand passages more in depth.

I bought the leather binding version; it is constructed similar to other bonded leather bibles in its price range. The pages are somewhat thin and I wonder how the binding will hold up under heavy use. There is a decent margin on the sides and the print is easy on the eyes. All in all, I give it a three for the study portion but a five for the AB translation. I believe I killed two birds with one stone--I got the translation I wanted in a leather binding with the addition of some study notes.
