5.0 out of 5 stars You won't believe how this reads......, January 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Quest Study Bible, New International Version (Paperback)

I'm 42 YO and for the first time I'm reading bible stories with understanding and a desire not-to-set-it-down. It's great! If you've every wondered about why, then this is a must-read book. For example, the story of King David was remarkable. I've always thought, from my King-James up-bringing, that a boy defeated a giant and became King. I'm finding out so much moore! King David reads like a best-seller showing human suffering, defeat, and success. This book truely gives an insight into human history. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding Bible regardless of your Biblical familiarity, September 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Quest Study Bible, New International Version (Paperback)

Published in the easy-to-understand NIV format, this Bible is perfect for those who are newcomers to scripture. It explains a lot of difficult concepts and contains essays on frequently asked questions. Even those who are very familiar with scripture will find the essays and commentary thought-provoking as well as helpful. An excellent Biblical resource for anyone's bookshelf.

This review is from: Quest Study Bible, New International Version (Paperback)

This is one of the most helpful Bibles I have used in my ministry. People,especially those fairly new to Scripture take to this like a duck to water. The sidebar explanations are just enough to wet peoples appetites.
