Summary: Fantastic!
Review: For someone who owns a zillion Bibles (me!), this bible was a pleasant surprise. It is beautifully presented in a lovely violet print. And the content has been thoughtfully arranged for the reader to get the most out of every page. The Book Introductions and Study Notes are insightful in a way only a woman would appreciate! For instance, I really enjoyed the comparison of God the Creator in Genesis 1 to a woman bringing order to her household. This work is sprinkled with fresh insights throughout. The 80 Character Sketches of Women in the Bible far outweigh the cost of "another" Bible and to top it off this work presents 52 Bible Studies that are rich with originality and worth every moment of your time to complete. The Book also includes Quotes from all sorts of women including the fantastic Women of Faith conference speakers.And, yes, there are the requisite concordance, maps and column reference system. Because I love to take copious notes I found the wide margins especially appealing. Frankly I have not found one thing in or about this Bible that displeases me. I shall enjoy ruminating about its pages for months to come! In case you aren't sold on this book yet, you should know that a portion of the purchase price goes to International Bible Society to help spread the gospel of Jesus around the world...AMEN!!!!

Summary: a gem in the sea of women-themed bibles
Review: I am glad I got this Bible. Every thing about it is purple. I got the bonded leather. It has a purple cover, print and ribbon. The layout is interesting. On the outside of the page is the comments, the next section is the text of the NIV and on the inner part of the page towards the centre binding are the cross-references. Because the comments are not always long, there are sections under the comments where you can write notes of your own if you want to....spaces are often 3 inches wide by 4-5 inches high. The profiles are excellent, and the comments are spot-on. If you want a doctrine type bible this isn't what you want, but if you want the text to be applicable to you then get it. The 52 weeks studies are both practible and informative. I like the personal touch this bible has for women. There are thought-provoking notes, studies and profiles that make you think about your life in Christ and how you can be better. It is just so woman-oriented that I just want to go back time and again to read the Word of God. You will enjoy it I'm sure.

Summary: Good for beginners
Review: I have been reading the bible for a while and I got this one as a gift. It has a lot of inspirational quotes and some scripture in the margins. Only half the page is the actual text of the Bible. The opening descriptions of the books are not very helpful but I like them to include the jist of the book. It's very womenly and talks about different famous women. It's colorful and with pictures of women and flowers. The subject guide in the back only has page numbers for subjects.

Summary: Good for beginners
Review: I saw this bible on the shelf at a local religious bookstore. It caught my eye, when I wasn't looking for a bible. I leafed through it and was immediately entranced by the center-page text in blue, the simple but not stupid notes that really offered me new perspectives (I've been "into" scripture for decades now), and the prayerful but not sappy tone throughout. For women who want a comfortable bible fit that will still challenge, this is the bible. For women who want a bible they will actually pick up and read and use, it is for you.A previous reviewer mentioned purple leather. I'd love to get one of those, Amazon!!! I, too, love purple. The one I bought is great, though, and as it was a bit shelf-worn, I asked for and was given a discount.

Summary: A Gift for Women
Review: My best purchase ever! I really had trouble with the chuch and women's issues, and finding this Bible helped to bring women upfront . All the women in the Bible are pointed out and there are relevant studies around them.
I think women are more than capable of being leaders within the church. Young girls and women, need women role models to look up to. I also recommend 52 women of the bible devotional.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BIBLE
Review: This is a wonderful bible for reading and studying. It has extra things along the edge of the pages. some are explaining the scripture or just pointing something about them out and the other things are quote. For example ALTHOUGH TODAY HE PRUNES MY TWIGS WITH PAIN, YET DOTH HIS BLOOD NOURISH AND WARM MY ROOT: tomorrow I SHALL PUT FORTH BUDS AGAIN AND CLOTHE MYSELF WITH FRUIT. CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI 1830-1894 I think it is a really neat Bible.

Summary: Great Study Bible
Review: This is the first bible I bought for myself..and I am enjoying it very much. The study notes on the side of the scriptures help you relate not only to problems we face, but help us learn as we read with easy to follow notes. It also points out how women were treated then and how it has affected our lives at the present time. I love the character sketches of the women from each book of the Old and New Testaments. You can relate to how they were possibly feeling back then. So if you want to learn the bible and relate as a woman then this is the study bible for you. Happy reading.
