This review is from: NIV Student Bible Compact Edition (Hardcover)

i got my version of this book (leather) 2 years ago. it's been great! it has character profiles, reading plans, an introduction to each book of the Bible, insights (short articles written like a clip from a magazine, helps you look at things in a new perspective) and highlights, which are little blue boxes through out this book that point out interesting facts & help explain a difficult verse. There is a section in the back marked with a blue tab called "Where to Find It." it has things like a glossary, a piece called Well-Known Biblical Events, or a Line-up of Rulers, then a short subject guide. right behind all that are the maps. i recomend this Bible because it really helped me understand it, and helps me see things you'd normally over look. By the way, i read somewhere if you read 3 chapters a day and 5 on Sundays, you should finish the whole Bible in about a year. Pretty cool, huh? anyway, i hope you seriously consider this book, it really is awesome!
