A great legacy left by missionary Don Stamps even as he was battling cancer. His Spirit-filled teaching is evident in the editing. Especially significant is the Spirit inspired work he did on editing this version of the Holy Bible. The explanatory notes and the wonderful articles answer questions which other Bible teachers and commentaries usually avoid or are simply in error on. Thank God for this wonderful discovery and I heartily recommend it to all in search of, the abundant, "full life" in Jesus as taught in the Word of God.

I own this Bible and it is changing my life for the better. The title of this Bible "Full Life Study Bible" says it all--it definitely applies to a full life! The clear in depth convicting study notes will not only challenge your paradigms and beliefs, it will change them, thus changing your life. A good starter Bible! I would definitely recommend the KJV over the NIV as the KJV is much more accurate with respect to the original Bible texts. In fact, I wish the Geneva Bible was available in a Full Life Study version. Buy this Bible, it is well worth whatever you pay for it!

After having read some of the reviews given to this Bible, I was concerned about the issue of mercy and grace. Paul teaches us that grace can be taken as far as holiness can be lived. The articles that are found here really urge you toward holy living. It has to be recognized that even though we are free from the law, God hates sin. We cannot go forward and press into the throneroom of grace without a right heart. The Bible helped me recognize that God accepts me despite my sin, but at the same time requires me to press on in holiness. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to be blessed by the Pentecostal/Charismatic theologians of the twentieth century. I have had many of these men as professors one time or another, and even with their hard stance on holy living their love is beyond compare.

I read the reviews of the Full Life Study Bible and felt I had to respond, especially to the woman from Georgia's view that this study Bible is filled with "hate."

This study Bible reflects the work of a Pentecostal missionary, the late Donald Stamps. Various other Pentecostal scholars also worked on the study Bible including prestigious scholars such as Dr. Stanley Horton, Dr. French Arrington, and Dr. Robert Shank.

My only complaints against the Full Life is that the notes were written by one man so they are not as plentiful as say the NIV Study Bible. I also would favor a more literal translation such as the NASB or the NKJV then the NIV although I am not opposed to the NIV. The study notes reflect the theology of the classical Pentecostal movement. For a more charismatic study Bible see the Spirit-Filled Study Bible published by Thomas Nelson and edited by Dr. Jack Hayford.

I enjoyed this Bible. I have been looking for a Bible that contained the pentecostal/charismatic notes. It also helps me understand the Arminian theological perspectives on different passages of the Bible.
This study Bible has great articles like "The ministry leadership gift for the church", "Election and predestination", "sanctification", etc...
This study Bible does emphasize holiness. But do not misunderstand this study Bible as a "legalistic" study bible. This Bible does not emphasize that good deeds grants you salvation. But it does emphasize how Christians should live in a dark world and how we are to be a light.
I do recommend this if you are looking for a study Bible with pentecostal/charismatic/amrinian perspectives.
