5.0 out of 5 stars A great study Bible, March 2, 2003

This review is from: NIV Student Bible, Revised (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful Study Bible. The scripture translation is very understandable.. for those who can't really get into the thees, thous, and thines, this is for you. Passages are also indexed by topic... if you need to find a scripture on lust, faith, love, whatever, the index is helpful.

At the beginning of each book in this Bible, it gives you a background / history, as well as how you should read the book.

Also, it has 3 reading plans so that you can get to know the Bible on a regular basis... I really cannot express how much I love this Bible.. It is an awesome thing.

Also included are:
Well known biblical events, Noteable psalms, an outline of old testament history, a map index, and other goodies.

If you are a newcomer to Christianity or a have been keeping the faith for years, this Bible is perfect for all. I am 22, and out of all Bibles I have ever purchased, this is the one I was able to comprehend most. I definitely recommend this.

God bless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should have a 'Student' Bible!!!, January 16, 2006

I've tried reading the Living Bible before because it's put in plain English, but it was such a depressing awful 'story', that I quit reading it. This student bible has been a big help in getting me through the bible, mainly using the 'guided tour', which I usually end up reading those parts and wanting to know more about the story and reading more of the bible! Never being one to read a bible, that's really something for me, and I actually look forward to reading it. I'm reading the Psalms right now though, and I'm reading them one by one. It helps to be able to understand the wording of the passages. The additional text boxes with info stashed all throughout is really handy and full of really interesting information I think anyone would find neat to know.
I got a brand new 'normal' bible for Christmas and it's still sitting in it's box...I don't want a different bible!! (Oh, and I'm 33!)
