NIV Student Bible
I bought this Bible based on the title itself along with the
description that a nice leather cover was there ....I bought
the Bible for a Marine soldier on active duty who is also my
grandson. I was not impressed with the light mint green color of
the leather cover...so did not mail it to him for Xmas ....sent
him a pre-paid long distance card instead.

I guess that I should not have assumed the Bible would have a
"normal" color for the leather covering. You could help by telling
the buyer the color choices upfront or at least ask if it is for
a male vs female recipient.

I like it I love it!!!!
This Bible is awesome!! It has great study guides.Easy to find index and is so easy to read and understand.I have just ordered another copy of it because my first one got ruined by being out in the rain. But it is well worth the cash. ... Read more

Bible Study - NRSV
Workhorse Bible for study of the NSRV, one of the solid modern English translations.Great for teenagers alone or for adults in conjunction with other study Bibles, such as Harpers, and alongside other translations.

My First Bible
This is the first Bible I've ever read from cover to cover, and I must say that it was very good.

The instructional notes inside are a great guide for beginners like myself.If you've ever had a desire to read the entire Bible, I would highly recommend making your first Bible to do that with.

Just what I wanted
I returned the NRSV with the blue cover w/ apocraphy.This is perfect - will learn alot from it.

Great Bible
My wife and I spent weeks looking for a good Bible that we could use for a daily Bible study.This Bible is exactly what we were looking for.The reading plans are good tools, and the comments thoughtout the text are wonderful.We are very happy with this Bible.

The First Bible I REALLY Read
I love this Bible and a year later am still very excited with it.It's easy to read, and even includes in the beginning of each book/chapter HOW you should read that particular book with things to look for.People you'll meet in reading that book are introduced and you're given references for where to findmore about them.There are lots of little features where a verse will be disected and explained and many extra stories that give you the interesting details behind some of the Biblical characters.It's a million times easier to understand than a KJV.This is the first Bible I've been able to sit down and read and don't want to put it down.It's just much easier to understand.If you have had a hard time reading the Bible, try this one. ...

The Authorised Version for today's youth
The King James Version of the Bible is one version by which many if not most Christians in the English world swear by; if it is not considered the one-and-only version, then it is certainly in the top tier, both for traditional and spiritual reasons on the part of readers.Other versions have populated the biblical landscape, but none has come to close as yet to having the enduring quality and staying power of the King James Version, first published in 1611.

In addition to this traditional text, this particular student bible includes daily devotions (365 of them) that step through the bible in a linear fashion (January 1 is at Genesis 1, and so forth).It includes 1000 Life Track notes, which develop different topics in pull-quote boxes scattered throughout the text - these link together topically in a fashion by drawing page-numbers together in different parts of the biblical text.Finally, there are 100 Fast Track Readings, designed to give the beginner to the bible a quick overview in 100 days of the majority of the biblical message, deriving from different parts of the texts of different literary forms (gospels, prophets, history, etc.).

There is a minor quibble with the thin pages - the text is printed in an ink and colour strong enough to bleed through the pages.The fonts are clear enough, however, to overcome the minor reading difficulty this can cause.

Each book is introduced with an 'at a glance' section, quick overview in bullet points and major themes.There are also 'Amazing Words' pulled from each book at the start, a fast summary list of the most famous and most-quoted pieces.The study helps in the back include a topic index, reading plans for completing the bible in one year as well as the fast-track 100 plan.

This book is designed for a younger person - the themes highlighted will be of more interest to teen-aged and early-20s groups.There aren't a lot of textual notes with regard to language, history, etc., so in that since, this is more of a devotional bible than a study bible.

A great gift for younger people, and a great text generally. ... Read more

Very good student Bible
I bought this bible when I was actually looking for a specific bible that Iknew I wanted in a bookstore. Since I have had it, I have absolutely loved it and I am glad I bought it. It is in New Living Translation which I do notknow who made that, but it is easier to read than King James Version. It is packed with commentaries and breaks down passages to be reviewed and studied.
I highly recommend this bible to people with the motivation to learn and actually focus on what is being read. The only downside is layout. This is merely an opinion but I like the verses to be tabbed so they can be found easily.

Great Bible for Teenagers & College Students
A friend of mine has this Bible which I barowed before and I have to say it's a really neat Bible. It's not just for teenagers but college as well but it's geard a bit more towards teenagers. To say the least there really isn't any NLT Bibles for college students (which I happen to be)as this Bible is geared a bit more towards teenagers, but it certaintly works good for young college students. I highly recommend the New Living Translation for anyone who wants a readable and use to understand Bible that's not a paraphrase but a translation that actually uses the originally texts as it's basis. This Bible gets my stamp approval! ... Read more

For anyone... christian or not
This bible is a good place for anyone in the world to start learning about the christian religeon.

For christians, its absolutely an excellent resource. Aside from being an easy to read New International Version of the bible, it includes advice on how to deal with day to day events, excellent interpretations of certain passages, and helpful ways of getting you through reading the entire bible, or even certain books of it, without feeling bogged down.

For non-christians, who are simply interested in learning more about christianity, or maybe just the old testament (the history of Judaism, and the beginning of christianity, through prophets), this bible gives you excellent background information. The bible also features maps of the different settings in the bible (excellent for anyone), timelines of the prophets (excellent for anyone as well...), and an index that allows you to look up a certain topic quickly!

Before purchasing this bible, I had little interest in reading the bible atall. I would recommend this version to anyone in need of a little "drive" to get going!

The guidelines for all stages of life are written about here
Each one of us, by design is created to be connected to the living, loving God. No matter where you are, God longs to hear from you! This book talks about how we search for fulfillment and only find it, by finding the truthwithin. John 10:10 for instance promises an abundant life, and when we stopto think of it, that's all any of us ever really want. This book can beread over and over and there can still be found new revelations as timegoes by. Awesome!

Great version: NOT just for teens but young and old adults too
My Bishop recommended this Bible when I became saved.This is an excellent version for those who do not understand the regular King James Version.I have now been using this book for 10 years and need a new one.The front and back covers are gone.This book helped me understand what the Lord is telling me to do.I have grown soo much with reading this Bible...not only reading it but understanding it and feeling like I was in those times with the people as they experienced Jesus face to face.Buy it for your family and friends.Sometimes people don't read their Bible because they don't understand it.Any age group can understand this one.It's awesome!

The utlimate Bible
I got this bible as a gift about 3 years ago. since then Ive had SEVERAL people fall in love with it and ask where they can get the exact same one.This Bible is the perfect blend of scripture and supporting insightful commentary. Im 32 years old and Ive compared mine to every other bible i have come across. This one is amazing. ..if you can find it...BUY IT...

Great choice for a new christian!
I thank God for leading me to purchase this bible back in 1997, when I became a christian. It was very hard for me to understand the Old King James version. This bible is the New King James version, that is much easier to undertand. It really helped me to grow in every aspect of my life. For me it helped to translated the scriptures to everyday life. I would recommend this to teens, young adults or any new christian. You will truly be blessed.

Looking to understand the Bible better, look no further
This is a wonderful Bible.I thank my God for allowing me to find it.It relates things in the bible to things happening now in the world.It gives you a better understanding of Gods word and what he expects from us.I would recommend it to any one looking to understand the Bible better.
