I love this Bible. It's the best selling study Bible out there. The study notes are phenomenal, clearly explaining verses that you have questions about. There's tons of maps, tables, indexes, character profiles, and scholarly guidance. You can become as knowledgeable as a pastor or Bible scholar with this Bible. It's written by a huge team of acclaimed Bible scholars, so it's as trustworthy as they come. Scripture is critical treasure. Know it thoroughly! Study Bibles are life changing and life enhancing in major ways. Make sure you get one of these!

It's a great bible, a fantastic study bible with all the helps it has. I really appreciate the manner of writing and language that is a exelent departure from the age old King James style as well as the preferable "word and thought" translation that I personally prefer. The only real difference between this; the 1997, and the ones that came later is the gender specific language changes and the few changes that came after 2011 as a result of the Dead Sea Scrolls that finally found certain changes filter their way into the scriptures. I'm fine without it as they are available in other verifiable texts if I want them; however my main goal is to use the Divinely Inspired Word as my "operators manual" (as my Father called it) and to begin again on a daily basis my search and study to be the person Christ wants me to be, to continue to build and maintain a constant contact with our Heavenly Father to guide me through life. Not to better see what needs to be changed in the world but to better see what needs to be changed in me, if I'm to be that vessel of the Lords word and will with my brothers and sisters on Earth.Read full review
I love this type of Bible because it puts everything in todays use of words and gives examples of todays situations. Just as a preacher might do in Church. This is a book of God's Word--Man only translated it. Very easy to understand--Especially for the younger generation, teenagers and people like me who never really went to Church as a child. I find the King James version hard to understand-therefore I cannot apply to my life guidelines. I highly reccomend this Bible to anyone who can read!
I recently purchased the Life Application Bible a month ago. My daughter had a similar Bible and thought I would enjoy using one like hers. I like it very much. I had excellent service in getting the book in a very timely manner. The only disappointment was that the previous owner had written her name on the face page and hadn't advertised it as such. However, that isn't a "big deal" as now I have a reminder of who was willing to share this great book with others. I would recommend using ebay and half.com to others to purchase books or other items.
This Study Bible is being used by my Wife's Bible Class. Some have bought new bibles the same as this one and spent a lot more money. So this was a great deal and will be put to good use. Thanks for the great value.
