NIV Life Application Bible verses NIV Study Bible (1985),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NIV Life Application Study Bible, Indexed (Leather Bound)
My first impressions on the Life Application Study Bible (NIV) are these: it has lots of white space for the actual text of the Bible (which I like a lot for Proverbs and Psalms, etc.--but less so for the more narrative portions such as the gospels) without the crowded feel and wrapped lines of the NIV Study Bible (c. 1985, hereafter NSB), many of the book introductions contain a timeline specific to that book along with a map of key places discussed in the book's text, the major timeline at beginning of Bible -- called Chronology of Bible Events and World Events -- is in black and white and much simpler than NSB's chronology and more enjoyable on first glance, the introductions are all nicely organized and simpler than NSB, it has roughly 25% of the cross-references and fewer notes than NSB, its Concordance is smaller than NSB, its charts are numerous and helpful but the line maps don't seem as extensive as NSB, the Profile Notes of Bible People are very interesting (lacking in NSB) and the integrated Harmony of the Gospels is a wonderful reference (lacking in NSB).Much of the above is mandated by the different approach taken by the Life Application system. The NSB seems more scholarly. Life Application is more touchy-feely. I like both; they are complementary. My NSB is a sturdy hardback textbook. The Life Application Bible is in leather and indexed. I appreciate the leather feel and especially the thumb-index system, but for such a large book the floppy leather cover does not offer the support of the cheaper textbook. Still, somehow, the flexibility and skin texture and rounded edges all combine to make this leather book feel more intimate.

Wonderful for new Christians,
By A Customer
This review is from: NIV Life Application Study Bible, Indexed (Leather Bound)
As a new Christian, I was having difficulty understanding the King James Version of the Bible. The Life Application Bible gives me a greater understanding of how we should live our lives in todays world as a Christian. It also gives complete explanations of what the scriptures meant at the time that it was written. This Bible is a pleasure to read.

Learning ....from all angles. My reading has doubled!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: NIV Life Application Study Bible, Indexed (Leather Bound)
I can read for a couple of hrs. witout even realizing it. The way the information is presented is really outstanding. I feel I am understanding His Word on a much deeper level. There are sooo many sources of information offered. Maps, concordance/dictionary, index, commentary, even personal profiles---all of it is extraordinary and very easy to absorb. What a great study guide for the 'new born' christian and the well studied.
