Customer Reviews

Excellent Bible for teenagers and adults new to Bible study.
This is the best study Bible for young people we have been able to locate. The NRSV translation is easy to read and is accurate to the original text. I highly recommend this Bible to anyone working with teenagers or for anyone new to Bible study. p.s. A previous review says this Bible is out of print. That is not correct.

Great for beginners!
As an adult who has never read the entire Bible or spent much time in Bible study, I was looking for something that would help guide me through the Bible. This Bible was my answer! It has wonderful features that help you understand what you are reading and why it is important. Each book has an introduction that helps define the overall focus of the particular book and gives ways that help you relate the chapter/book to your personal life as a Christian.
If you are just beginning your study of the Bible this is a must have! You will not be disappointed.

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 find more 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.
