Product Description

The NIV / The Message Parallel Study Bible combines the most read, most trusted NIV text and The Message, but it doesn’t stop there. Over 10,000 NIV-keyed study notes also appear on the pages of this parallel Bible, making it an invaluable study resource.

Next, there’s the penetrating insights and story-like flow of The Message, today’s most popular paraphrase. Finally, 10,000 notes from the pages of the Zondervan NIV Study Bible are combined with these two texts to create a wonderful study tool for those who want to dig deep into God’s Word.

Features:
Book introductions
Double column format (NIV and The Message side by side)
Over 10,000 study notes
Ribbon marker (except in hard cover edition)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible Combination, January 4, 2009
By D. Marshall (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Since I started to hear text from The Message version of the Bible, I was excited to get a copy of my own. The Message is a great way to understand the Bible in more contemporary language and is what I've decided to read daily for the next year. I however didn't want to completely give up the NIV version that is most often used in my church (and a more accurate translation) or some of the study notes that I'm used to having with my NIV Life Application Bible that I've used for the last few years.

When I started to look for something that would work for these three needs (The Message, NIV & Study Notes) there was nothing yet in the stores and as I searched Amazon, this book just was just set for release. I was thrilled and placed my order.

Now that I have it, I'm still just as happy. The Bible is bound in a great three color leather cover that looks even better than the picture. The text is small, but is clear and works well.

My only slight negative is that even though it contains study notes, it is shorter and probably fewer than in my Life Application Bible. The preface introduction notes that this book has about 10,000 notes (still a lot), but is about 50% of the Zondervan NIV Study Bible from which these are taken. I'm certain that the editors kept the most useful.

I recommend this multi-purpose Bible to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased, January 18, 2009
I wanted to read through the Message translation this year. The side by side with the NIV helps me read passages that may have a surprising translation in the NIV also; and helps me better spend my study and devotional time. Definitely recommend this. Also, the pages and leather covering is high quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, May 15, 2009
The set up is great. I love the two versions and the study notes. :) The Bible is VERY wide though. Almost cumbersome to carry around. But if you're just using it at home it won't be a big deal. It feels like the binding almost won't hold. Otherwise, it's great! It looks good too.
