5.0 out of 5 stars Simplicity is Divine!, May 25, 2000

By 

Casey A. Henry (Pensacola, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The NIV Rainbow Study Bible (New International Version) (Hardcover)

I was amazed at what a useful version of God's Word this Bible is! The rainbow system of color-coding each and every verse makes reading and studying the Bible more enjoyable and productive. I can't remember how many times I've flipped through the gospels looking for a particular verse by its color. There is no extraneous information (i.e. devotional sections or in-text explanations), and this helps to make this Bible a great study aid, giving each verse importance in a particular topic area (God, Commandments, Discipleship, Faith, etc.). I would heartily recommend this book to everyone, ESPECIALLY to the Christian who is reading his/her Bible for the first time. The simple rainbow system allows one to read the Word of God without the interpretation of theologians or scholars; I found that it constantly inspires me to pray and seek God's wisdom in understanding what He's saying to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy-on-the eyes Bible, December 20, 1998

By 

[e-mail] (Houston, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The NIV Rainbow Study Bible (New International Version) (Hardcover)

This NIV Bible is very easy on the eyes to read. Different shades of background colors indicate different Bible topics such as faith, family, sin, etc. Words spoken by the Trinity are underlined. At the beginning of each book of the Bible there is a summary of the author, when and where the book was written, a map, and other summary info.
