Great FIND!
This Bible is great. It has Old Testament Prophecies and New Testament Prophecy Fulfilled Section that refers to Jesus Christ as the Messiah. I really like this Bible, and recommend it to anyone interested in having a good Bible to read!

The best features
This is my favorite day to day reading / studying bible. It offers translation helps in the middle. If a word is not used or has changed in meaning, it puts it there. If a more litteral translation is helpful, it also puts that there. It's not bogged down with commentaries, which can lead us astray. Its reasonably priced, so when you wear it out (I hope you read the bible that much) its easy to replace. If I can help furthur ask at powerofgrace.org.

Easy to understand!
This Bible is easy to understand due to the extensive use of word studies and articles sprinkled throughout. When you are reading something you wish you knew more about the information is right there on the same page. No need to flip thru the index looking for more information.

Schuller Brings New Possibilities to God's Word
Robert H. Schuller is a man who knows about life. He has been through all kinds of struggles and heartaches. Yet he has learned much from the greatest Possibility Thinker whoever lived. His name is Jesus. And in this Bible you will find many links discussing today's obstacles and how you can rely on God to help you overcome them. This Book contains great study aids and wonderful articles to help you on your positive journey with the Lord. Most Bibles just present the Word and that in and of itself is enough. What the New Possibility Thinkers Bible does is embrace areas of thought that have been largely ignored in evangelical circles. Namely health, nutrition, attitude and destiny. This Bible will take you on a totally complete spiritual journey. Dr. Schuller is an American treasure and this Bible is thoroughly inspiring. God will be more real, more involved and more influential in every area of your life. Give this Bible a try!
The Oswald Chambers Daily Devotional Bible/New King James Version

exceptional devotional
I have been reading this Bible through for 9 years and love it more each year. The insight into the Word from Oswald Chambers only enhances what the Holy Spirit shows us in the Word. Oswald Chambers loved Jesus Christ and listened so intently to the Holy Spirit as He spoke to him, that the devotionals placed before each day's reading only deepen the spiritual insight. How many books can you say that when you finish it on December 31, you can't wait to start reading it all over again on January 1?!!!

Hey, Its a Bible!
Well How do I review a Bible? Its great content is aided by its clear style of writing. I had a hard time with King James Version which is why I went to New King James. I like the way it says things in a more concise way without all of the antiquated language.

How did I live so long without this?
I had no idea such magical things existed! Strong's Concordance is an essential tool in any academic study of the Bible. The Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic dictionaries allow one a glimpse of the hurdles translators had to navigate in wrestling with this text. I recommend this for anyone working with the Bible or with any text with densely packed biblical allusions, such as Milton, Shakespeare or T.S. Eliot, among countless others.
A Five star gem of reference materials!
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is a "must have" reference for the serious student of the Bible. The Fan-Tab Thumb-index system makes this an easy to use reference to locate any word or topic in God's Word. The addition of the Hebrew and Aramaic Dictionary sheds new light on God's word by giving accurate meaning to the original text.
Depth!!
Strong's Concordance is an absolute gold mine. In searching for the riches that God's word has to offer, there is no greater dictionary or lexicon better than Strong's. This concordance and dictionary helps the diligent student to separate identical words in the same context that may have different Hebrew and Greek meanings. In cross referencing, it aids the student in defining identical words that may have a different meaning based on the particular passage of scripture. There could be one word that we are familiar with in English that may have five different Hebrew or Greek translations. Strong's does an excellent job pointing the reader to the correct Hebrew/Greek interpretation whereby he or she can then search the English definition to add clarity. Preachers and teachers are encouraged to own and use this powerful tool for studying the word of God. I highly recommend this book for anyone who would desire to know what God determined that we should know in the original language. It will change your life completely. Strong's Concordance is a must have for your Biblical library. Kudos!

One of the best Study Bibles ever
I have used a lot of study Bibles over the last 25 years and this is one of the best. I love the cyclopedic index which is over 200 pages long. It defines a term, such as "peace" and then shows key incidences of it in the Bible. The type face is easy to read and there are in-text charts, maps and word studies. The New Living Translation is a good translation for personal devotional reading and public reading as well. This Bible also shows good workmanship and you will be pleased with it. I use this study Bible along with the New American Standard Ryrie Study Bible.
Reference Check
I was reading the reviews of this Bible and found two which troubled me. You see, I believe that this is an excellent study Bible, I own one and am contemplating the purchase of another. The study aids and references are easily found and easy to read. It increased my understanding of God's word quite a lot. In fact my 12 year old sister likes this Bible because she understands the language better than in a KJV, however the changing of a few words seems to offend some of the readers of this Bible. In later reviews they refer to the changing of the word black in Song of Solomon 1:5 to dark. This is a perfectly acceptable translation of the word when one considers the translation from Hebrew to english can be dusky which is dark while not necessarily black. And in the second complaint from Song of Solomon 5:11 which is about being bushy headed. The original Hebrew word is translated as vibrating and pendulous meaning wavy and long. I see no problem with either translation. Please check your references before you slam an excellent and helpful translation of God's word. (I checked mine in the Strong's Concordance. It translates from the original Hebrew and Greek which our Bible was written in.)
Excellent worship and study Bible!
The Open Bible has served me for years now. I have gone through three copies and updates. The book outlines and historical information are unmatched in other study Bibles. The charts of history are exceptionally easy to follow. As stated above, the study information does not get in the way of reading God's Word as He gave it. I highly recommend this study Bible to anyone who wants to go a little further than casual reading of the Bible.
