4.0 out of 5 stars Great for an everyday, by the bed, Bible, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NIV Student Bible (Hardcover)

I have about 4 or 5 different versions of the Bible, including the more academic Oxford Annotated. I like this one because it is so easy to read. It is not the most erudite or the most beautiful but it certainly is simple and to the point. I take it classes with me and use the commentary (often!) to explain and clarify passages. It is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Student Study, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NIV Student Bible (Hardcover)

The comment regarding the Student Bible as a 2 star is way off. Seems there issue is KJV vs NIV, or NKJV vs. NIV. Either this is a Good study bible. I may also recommend the "life application bible"

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!, January 3, 2012

As a former Youth Leader, and now a Sr. Pastor, I've purchased about a hundred of these (used) over several years to give to students. They love the compact version, especially the black covered one. Great text and print quality. I keep one in my family room for personal reading enjoyment.
