Excellent source for the Maturing Christian, March 28, 2005
Over the years I have used many Bibles, different formats, different translations. This Bible has been by far the most effective in learning exactly what the content of verses means. It has outstanding commentary by Jack Hayford. The word wealth entries absolutely opened my eyes into the words, their original meaning and how it could apply to my life today. This is my personal favorite part of this Bible. It really helped me understand context of verses so much better than ever before.
It has a excellent concordance, that is extensive and helpful in finding help in word studies or finding a particular verse. I found it more extensive than most Bibles, and rarely had to consult another concordance in searching for specific scriptures.
One of the more defining parts are the Kingdom Dynamics which teach spiritual concepts for our personal lives, and how to apply these to our daily living and growth in Christ.
At the end of most books is truth in action. It offers Keys, steps and guidelines that break things down in a very understandable format, easy to absorb and use for practical application.
This Bible has helped to transform my thinking in several areas, it not only opened up the scripture in a more defining and life changing way. It gave me practical down to earth tools, concepts and revelations to use in my daily life and walk before the Lord.
I think you will find it a great tool in opening up the word of God to your spirit. It becomes personal and transforming. Something we all surely need daily in this troubled and divisive world. Where as many translations still leave you wondering, what did that mean? I believe this one will leave you thinking wow.. I never knew that.. thats great!
To me the Bible is fuel for your spirit. You need it to refresh yourself daily and this Bible offers tools to make it even easier. Without reading the scripture often, and applying it, our spiritual life cannot survive. We will find ourselves weaker and more worn from the cares of life, and the temptations.
It brought a wealth of information and tools to my Bible study I have not found in any other. I hope you will get a copy and see what wonderful changes it can make in your own life.
This Bible makes you want to read more, learn more, and dig deeper into it to find the meanings and concepts that God has
left for us in his Inspired Word, a guidebook for the soul. That makes it even more valuable. I hope you give it a try.

Best Bible for Kindle Yet!!!, September 18, 2010
I recently upgraded my kindle to the latest and greatest version and bought a new Android phone with the Kindle app on it, that way, I can access all of my books while on the go and all of them stay in sync with eath other. Pretty cool! Anyway, I also began looking for a new Kindle Bible. I am so glad I found this one! It has exceeded my expectations in that all of the links for study notes are embeded into the Bible, so just click on a link while reading and it will take you straight to the note associated with the passage. After you are finished reading the study note, just hit back and you are right back where you left off.
With the new kindle being faster than the old one, it makes the experience of reading the Word extremely enjoyable, I also always felt that the leather bound version of this bible had too many notes for my taste and distracted me from the Word itself, that no longer happens to me with the kindle version, for some reason, it is now easier for me to ignore all of the notes and just read the Word when that is what I want to do. Please keep in mind that my comments on the leather bound version are not meant to suggest that I don't love this excellence resource, because I do. I am extremely thankful that I have it at my disposal when I want to study something in depth.
Long story short, if you are looking for a new Bible for your Kindle, even if you were not necessarily looking for one with study notes, I believe you will enjoy The Spirit Filled Life Bible for Kindle!

Very Good Study Bible., March 4, 2004
This review is from: New Spirit-Filled Life Bible, New King James Version: Kingdom Equipping Through the Power of the Word, British Sable, Genuine Leather, Thumb-Indexed (Leather Bound)
This is the best Study Bible I've used in my 12 years of trying to understand God's word. The NKJV is alot easier to understand not to mention the added comments by Jack Hayford and team. I highly recomend this Bible for those who want to learn more from the Bible. Hope this helps someone to make a decision. Thank You. Terry Covington
