Summary: Is this Study Bible right for you?
Review: -------------------------------------------
Is this Study Bible right for you?
-------------------------------------------Choosing a Bible is very personal and often emotional decision. There are so many different Study Bibles because each takes a different approach. The Life Application Study Bible has earned a wide following with its excellent charts, diagrams, and tables. Other Study Bibles such as the NIV Study Bible attempt to be as factual as possible in their commentary. Its study notes try to explain references and historical context. They do not attempt to apply God's message to your life. They try to provide facts to help you build your own personal relationship with God. The LA Study Bible's dust jacket claims something very different from the rest: "...Its notes not only explain difficult passages and give background information about bible life and times, but they go a step further - they also show how God's Word speaks to every situation and circumstance of your life..." If you want to consider a variety of opinions, you might consider doing an Amazon search in Books for "William Barclay." His books often present a number of opinions, often from opposing points of view. The LA Study Bible viewpoint is sometimes one of the most extreme. If you want to be told one perspective to apply to your life, the LA Bible may be perfect for you. If you want to find your own personal relationship with God, you might want a more objective and informational commentary such as the NIV Study Bible or other Study Bibles. The NIV Study Bible might also be one to consider if you want a basic Subject Index or Concordance included. The NIV is also available in a rugged hardcover version like a college textbook or a less expensive paperback version. The LA Bible's dust jacket may not hold up as well to wear and tear. Also the NIV Study Bible has twice as many study notes and footnotes. You might also consider a hardbound version for durabillity. Whatever you decide, the most important thing is to read any Bible!

Review: ..for wheel chokes when parking your car on a hill. I always keep two in my trunk. The leather covers really grip the pavement! But it is best to buy them at a thrift store for ...

Summary: Excellent
Review: Clear easy-to-understand translation. Footnotes, summaries and character sketches are great. By the way, I think the next guy meant to say "wheel CHOCKS". Maybe he doesn't know the difference...guess his smugness isn't all that warranted. Sometimes it's better to not try being clever.

Review: I bought this Bible based on the description provided. It is not hard cover and it does not have Christ's words in red. Please change so someone else doesn't get the wrong bible. Otherwise, I'm sure it's a great bible. Thanks.

Summary: Most Helpful Bible I've Read!
Review: I have several Bibles, all with different helps. This is my favorite, with commentaries that apply to life today. The Life Application Bible is the most popular at the Bible Study Group I attend, because it often has the answers to the questions we ask. It is wonderful for newer Christians, but is just as important for those farther along in their Faith Walk. I highly recommend this Bible for anyone, and have purchased one for myself, as well as many as gifts. READ IT!

Summary: Outstanding
Review: This Bible should be used by everyone - new believer or old believer. Over the years, I've read several Bibles and have now 3 study ones. This one is my favorite for many reasons: it is easier to understand than most; it discusses life's application of the Word; and I find it makes me want to read more of the Word and study it more. It's is great.
