I am greatly pleased with my purchase. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to become familiar with Jesus as He is mentioned in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The delivery was prompt, and as I expected. Knowing Jesus Study Bible, The

The NIV bible (New International Version) is a very simple read. Clearly written, though not exactly the best translation. Excellent for ANYONE wanting to really ingest the bible. Remember, however, that Protestant versions are missing 6 "books" with some of the very best "women of the bible" removed. Bummer. Inspite of all that, this bible is beautiful and a joy to have around. Feeling blue? Pick this up. It will warm your heart.

This is a fantastic Bible! I've been through all 365 devotionals and I've read every single letter of the in text thoughts. It tries to point out intricacies that might not be otherwise noticed by the casual reader (for example: the incident between Tamar and Judah that created David's family line) because you read something in one book and five books (or more) later, the significance is revealed. I highly recommend it. It is the NIV translation, which may be a stumbling block for some people, but the NIV is probably the most supported translation in the world. I recommend that you get the softcover version because it is only a one year devotional Bible, so you don't want to spend too much on it. However, it's something you'll probably want to keep for a long time.

This is an excellent study Bible: The helps are actually helpfull and not obtrusive, and actually use verses instead of _page numbers_ like some other recent study Bibles. It also makes the old testament relevant to young people because it relates it to Jesus. There is just one thing wrong with it: It uses the New International Version of the Bible -- one that I have serious prioblems with -- for it's text. If Zondravan comes out with this Bible using the New Revised Standard Version, I would order this one for our youth group, middle school Sunday School, and Young Adults group. As it is, it looks like I will have to make due with one of the other study Bibles available.
