I love it!,
By Michelle (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New International Version: The Student Bible (Hardcover)
Honestly, until this year I was never a very regular or interested bible reader. My Catholic bible has remained virtually untouched from Confirmation 5 years ago to the present. However, after deciding to make a complete commitment to God this year with my life, I decided I needed a bible I could actually read! Having no information really on this subject, I asked for a recommendation at my Christian book store and they steered me towards this bible. I couldn't be happier!The NIV student bible is much more easily readable than traditional bibles. It also provides little boxes with extra information for many of the chapters. Probably my favorite feature of this bible is that it provides track 1, 2, and three reading programs which vary in lenght from 2 weeks to 3 years. If you haven't ever really been a serious bible reader, this directs you where to start and can give you an overview of the bible in a very short time. The Word of God is powerful and amazing, and this bible provides wonderful access to it. I recommend the NIV study bible for people at all spiritual levels! Michelle

A terrific, easy-to-use resource for understanding more...,
By SM (Ossining, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New International Version: The Student Bible (Hardcover)
A shortage of Sunday School teachers in our church forced me to take on the job. I did so with much trepidation because I am not a Bible scholar, yet wanted to be able to answer the children's questions and get things right.The New Student Bible has been an enormous help. In addition to the text in modern-day American English, it has an excellent index, maps, and lots of call-outs and sidebars that help a 21st Century American understand the context of Biblical times. It also offers a number of reading plans, from two-week plans focused on a particular area, to plans for the entire Bible. Nothing beats the beautiful language of the King James version: "Thou preparest a table before me..." But this book is where you can go to really understand what was going on, and what it meant at the time.

Wonderful Study Tool,
This review is from: New International Version: The Student Bible (Hardcover)
I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this Bible, and would highly reccomend it to anyone who truly wants a deeper understanding of the word of God. Even if you are familiar with the Bible, the features and profiles often bring up new facts. It would also be great for someone new to the Bible...the reading plans, especially, are an easy way to stay motivated. I believe this Bible brings the Bible a little closer...making reading it seem more like the relevant part of your life it should be, and less of a bothersome chore you do 'because you should.'
