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.

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.

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.

I have owned this book for about three years now. This book showed me that Jesus is discussed all thru the bible not just in the New Testament. As I began to learn that great truth, I became hungrier for the Word of God. I owe so much to what this book has tought me. What I learned in church as a child made so much more sense when I began to read it.

This is an excellent study Bible: The helps are actually helpfull and not obtrusive, and actually use verses instead of _page numbers_ like some other recent study Bibles. It also makes the old testament relevant to young people because it relates it to Jesus. There is just one thing wrong with it: It uses the New International Version of the Bible -- one that I have serious prioblems with -- for it's text. If Zondravan comes out with this Bible using the New Revised Standard Version, I would order this one for our youth group, middle school Sunday School, and Young Adults group. As it is, it looks like I will have to make due with one of the other study Bibles available.

The commentary which occurs after a chapter or so is excellent. I also like reading the WORD in the NIV version.

This is a present for my grandson who will be graduating college in December and going away for his masters. He reads my Bible and loves this edition that explains Jesus in every book of the Bible. I wanted him to have one to take to college with him. It is out of print but Amazon found me a new hardback. Thanks Amazon!

I am greatly pleased with my purchase. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to become familiar with Jesus as He is mentioned in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The delivery was prompt, and as I expected. Knowing Jesus Study Bible, The

The NIV bible (New International Version) is a very simple read. Clearly written, though not exactly the best translation. Excellent for ANYONE wanting to really ingest the bible. Remember, however, that Protestant versions are missing 6 "books" with some of the very best "women of the bible" removed. Bummer.

Inspite of all that, this bible is beautiful and a joy to have around. Feeling blue? Pick this up. It will warm your heart.
