His white-hot zeal, deep compassion, disarming humility and above all, his boundless love. Today, Jesus continues to change lives. Because he offers more than a philosophy -- he offers new Life. And you can know him in the intimate way that only the Bible can reveal him, portrayed both with rich symbolism and startling exactness in the Old Testament, and unfolded in lowly humanity and eternal, kingly glory in the New Testament.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knowing You, Jesus; There is no greater thing..., January 2, 2001

This review is from: Knowing Jesus Study Bible, The (Paperback)

This is a fantastic Bible! I've been through all 365 devotionals and I've read every single letter of the in text thoughts. It tries to point out intricacies that might not be otherwise noticed by the casual reader (for example: the incident between Tamar and Judah that created David's family line) because you read something in one book and five books (or more) later, the significance is revealed. I highly recommend it. It is the NIV translation, which may be a stumbling block for some people, but the NIV is probably the most supported translation in the world. I recommend that you get the softcover version because it is only a one year devotional Bible, so you don't want to spend too much on it. However, it's something you'll probably want to keep for a long time.

K.in.So.Cal. "K.in.So.Cal." (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Knowing Jesus Study Bible, The (Hardcover)

I have owned this Bible for about 10 years. This Bible helped bring skeptical me to faith, primarily because of the several pages in the front of the bible showing the hundreds of places prophesy referenced in the old testament was fulfilled in the new testament. After studying these references, I was soon unable to deny that no mortal human could have possibly fulfilled all the prophesy that Jesus fulfilled. My church reads from the NIV and this is still my everyday and bring-to-church bible. I don't understand another reviewer who said that because this is a one-year study bible, that after a year you'll want/need another bible. This is a genuine bible and is timeless. This bible also has beautiful pictures throughout. I would highly recommend this bible. God bless you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Especially Fantastic If Your Passion Has Cooled!, May 9, 2010

By 

Trish Perry "www.trishperry.com" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Knowing Jesus Study Bible, The (Hardcover)

The greatest result I've noticed from using this study Bible is a renewal of my excitement about Jesus. Today I'm 232 days into the study, which means I've just begun the New Testament portion of the readings. Jesus and his coming have been pointed out daily throughout my reading of the Old Testament, but I didn't realize how much the anticipation for His story--His coming--had built until today. I've read the Bible many times, but this renewed hunger for Christ feels as fresh as when I first accepted Him more than 20 years ago. I highly recommend this study Bible, both for brand new believers and for those who sometimes feel their Bible studying has become more task than pleasure.
