5.0 out of 5 stars A great Bible that is difficult to find, March 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Word In Life Study Bible-NKJ: Discover the Truths of God's Word for You and Your World (Bonded Leather)

This Bible is filled with graphics, charts and notes that help make the subject matter clear and easy to follow. With a format similar to USA Today, it really captures the reader's attention and is great for bible studies. People who have this Bible are very dedicated to it. Unfortunately finding a new, leather copy is nearly impossible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendously informative, inviting, and inspiring!, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Word In Life Study Bible-NKJ: Discover the Truths of God's Word for You and Your World (Bonded Leather)

At the beginning of this year, my mother and I decided we would read through this Bible. It has been an amazing journey. With a little over a month left in the century, I am just starting I Peter. Although I have read through the Bible before, I believe I have learned many times over what I ever knew before about God's Word. The extra maps, articles, definitions, biographies, and commentaries are so helpful. I would recommend it to a person who has never read the Bible, but also to a person who thinks they know the subject matter well.

This review is from: The Word In Life Study Bible-NKJ: Discover the Truths of God's Word for You and Your World (Hardcover)

I purchased my copy the moment it became available in the early 90's. I've had other study bibles since then (Thompson's, Life Application, NIV) but I've enjoyed studying the Bible through Word in Life the most. I've passed on my copy to my teenage son now, hoping he would enjoy it as much as I did. It's sad that the publishers never came out with the old testament version.
