This is a beautiful Bible! I love the rich, brown two toned color of this Bible and the lovely feel of the cover. It's easy to understand why this Bible is the best selling Bible in the world.

Inside, there are wonderful study notes that explain so well the Scriptures. I also love all the little maps scattered throughout. There are maps in the back, however, having the small maps throughout makes it so easy to see where things are taking place as you're reading. There are also wonderful colored charts on the people of the Bible and other interesting facts of the Bible. I love this because they catch your attention.

Another nice thing is the explanation at the beginning of each book of the Bible that gives you an overview of what you will be reading. This is extremely helpful as you start reading those particular Scriptures.

I think my favorite part of this Bible is in the back and it's called the "Christian Worker's Resource". This section shows you how you can become a Christian and also has a section of how to follow up with a new Christian. I found these really great resources and something not found in any other Bible I've read.

This is a wonderful Bible with so many great resources right at your fingertips. I really love this Bible and highly recommend it. I give it 5 stars.

*This Bible was provided to me by Bible Gateway. I received a copy of this book to review but I was not financially compensated in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based on my observations while reading this book.

gorgeous cover. beautifully set out and easy to read. heavier than expected. considering getting the personal size for easter next year for taking with me to church. packed full of info. only drawback is the one lonely ribbon, this size bible needs at least two.

The Life Application Study Bible (3rd Edition) is beautiful and impressive! The deep rich wine, leather like cover is soft and elegantly gorgeous. The Bible is lightweight and not cumbersome at all. It will fit easily into a totebag, or backpack. It's full of updated notes and expanded helps that will make your Bible study rich and satisfying. Combined with the NIV translation, this Bible will make a wonderful treasure to enjoy for a lifetime!

Bought this as a gift with daughter in law name engraved on cover. She cried when she opened it. It was beautiful. Ive owned this bible for 15 years. Its the top of the line study bible in my opinion.

I am still learning from the Bible, but this version makes more sense than just reading and trying to figure out questions as I read. Thjis version applies info that pertains to today and makes my reading so much more enjoyable.
