Summary: New but not necessarily better
Review: The original Spirit-filled Life Bible was a triumph - filled with great information and practical articles that helped ground believers in their walk. I owned several and recommended them to my friends. I was looking forward to the next edition, hoping that the editors would find some innovative way to improve on a great beginning. They didn't.While the new version sports a new look, new graphics, new contributors and new articles, the flaws outweigh the gains. The good news is the commentary, word studies, and book notes duplicate the first edition. Some of the articles of the original make a second appearance - like the excellent article on understanding the end times. The center column cross-references and notes are very useful along with the maps at the end of the bible. These things continue to make the SFLB a useful and balanced teaching tool for believers. The flaws are the graphics (they muddy up the "look" of the SFLB) and the new articles. Graphics are always subjective, but the new ones are busy and cause the pages to look crowded with different colored half-tone boxes, tiny margins and too many type styles. Where the revision really suffers is in the new articles. Pat Robertson's outstanding 15-page essay "Spirit Answers to Hard Questions" was dropped. In its place are offerings on world evangelism, healing nations, understanding Messanic Jewish Ministry, and How to lead a Person to the Savior. Of these, the last one is the only one with practical value - after all, few of us will be conducting world evangelism, nation healing, or outreaches to Messianic Jewry. These themes admittedly have real value to the Body of Christ - but is the limited space available in the Spirit-filled Life Bible the best place for them? Are believers really getting the best bang for their buck? Not in my opinion. The articles feel more like Spirit-filled political correctness than discipleship and that takes its toll on the new edition. No longer is it the hard hitting, one-volume, discipleship manual for Charismatics that the first edition was. Sorry to say this, but I'm sending mine back.
