Summary: I love it!
Review: Honestly, until this year I was never a very regular or interested bible reader. My Catholic bible has remained virtually untouched from Confirmation 5 years ago to the present. However, after deciding to make a complete commitment to God this year with my life, I decided I needed a bible I could actually read! Having no information really on this subject, I asked for a recommendation at my Christian book store and they steered me towards this bible. I couldn't be happier!The NIV student bible is much more easily readable than traditional bibles. It also provides little boxes with extra information for many of the chapters. Probably my favorite feature of this bible is that it provides track 1, 2, and three reading programs which vary in lenght from 2 weeks to 3 years. If you haven't ever really been a serious bible reader, this directs you where to start and can give you an overview of the bible in a very short time. The Word of God is powerful and amazing, and this bible provides wonderful access to it. I recommend the NIV study bible for people at all spiritual levels! Michelle

Summary: awesome bible, really helps ya understand it!
Review: i got my version of this book (leather) 2 years ago. it's been great! it has character profiles, reading plans, an introduction to each book of the Bible, insights (short articles written like a clip from a magazine, helps you look at things in a new perspective) and highlights, which are little blue boxes through out this book that point out interesting facts & help explain a difficult verse. There is a section in the back marked with a blue tab called "Where to Find It." it has things like a glossary, a piece called Well-Known Biblical Events, or a Line-up of Rulers, then a short subject guide. right behind all that are the maps. i recomend this Bible because it really helped me understand it, and helps me see things you'd normally over look. By the way, i read somewhere if you read 3 chapters a day and 5 on Sundays, you should finish the whole Bible in about a year. Pretty cool, huh? anyway, i hope you seriously consider this book, it really is awesome!

Summary: One of the best
Review: This Bible is one of the best on the market. It provides terrific introductions to each book of the Bible and even guides you to the key chapters if you want to get a overview of a particular book or of the entire Bible without reading every word. Throughout the text are short comments or character profiles that add to the understanding of the text. All of the above described editorial content reflects the at times unconventional, "think outside the box" evangelicalism that I have found time and again in Philip Yancey's writings. The compact size is also a big plus because it fits easily into a briefcase or other bag for reading on the go (such as a daily subway commute like mine). I just wish there was a New Living Translation version.

Summary: Excellent Bible
Review: This copy of Holy Scripture is one of the best I have found. It contains notes on every page but not so many that they get in the way. Everyone should own an NIV translation and this one is a good one to have.
