Customer comments on this selection.
 Excellent for New Believers or Seekers
A friend of mine and I went together to give this to someone who is very young in her faith. She shares it with her husband and they practically fight over it! I think it's made the Bible much more comprehensible to them and as a result, they are more interested and more able to get to know God better and apply His truths to their lives. A gift (or life) just doesn't get better than that!
Good small Bible to carry
I enjoy using this Bible. It has all the larger ones have but it is so much easier to carry. I love the Life Application Bible!
A great discovery
I have to admit that I was very apprehensive about purchasing this study bible. That is why I purchased the paperback edition - if it is not to my liking then I have not wasted too much money.
The NLT 2nd edition is so much better that the first edition. The translation is less free and more trustworthy. The ideal translation for people on the go. Maybe less ideal than the (N)RSV for in-depth study.
As for the notes in the study bible, well I have to admit that they are very useful for sermon preparation. When I need to write a (short) sermon, this study bible is always consulted. I do not accept everything that the authors write - there is often much speculation - but on the whole the notes make me think again.
My recommendation is to use this study bible alongside other study references so that you can enlarge your understanding of a particular passage.
If the dollar-Euro rate waas better I would purchase a leather-bound edition.
Life Changing
The bible is amazing all on its own. However, it's great to have the study footnotes that bring out the greater revelation of God's word. This version is an essential study companion.
This is a keeper Baby Blue cover too!
I knew when I bought this that it had small print and no red letter (because Tyndale usually uses the most beautiful pinkish/red ink); two major drawbacks, BUT the rest of it is so lovely. First this edition, the baby blue that dominates the cover - part of front, the spine and entire back (you cannot tell by looking at and through the box) is so beautiful, and I absolutely love these new vinyl type covers as they curve around the Bible spine and make the Bible look expensive, versus the square bricks that so many Bibles look like nowadays. I don't mean to imply that this one has a major curve, but it has a bit of one, it is a thick Bible after all. I love the quality of the sewing because it is sewn around the edges of the vinyl and the two tone baby blue and brown is so well done. Silver edges, book marker and all that...just lovely and beautiful. I too agree that the 2nd edition by far exceeds my expectations. This one does have the better John 1:18 translation. Some of the other 2nd editions NLT's do vary in this verse, I have noticed. Look at John 1:18 and you will see that some editions vary in the NLT Bibles that I believe are the 2nd editions. I am not talking about the 1st edition. Also, if you need to know...a good way to compare the 1st from the 2nd, though, is look at Isaiah 63:9. There will be a footnote for the 2nd edition (which I really appreciate) that says that the "He" is the Angel of His Presence. This is really important because it literally means the Angel (which means messenger) of His Face.
Also, I just have to say, what a pleasure it is to have an entire giant study Bible in a small personal size. This makes it very portable. One might need a magnifier for this one at times, but it is well worth it.
This has got to be one of the "prettiest" Bibles I have seen in a long while. That light blue is so dreamy...have I said that already??? I certainly hope that they come out with more ultra pastel Bibles in this vinyl. Drool. Drool. Just plain with silver or gold lettering is fine. Grin.
But of course, more than anything else, it is the content and what can I say, this is a winner, the Life Application is so very wonderful for the soul and mind. I noticed that more and more people are using the Life Application Bible as their main Bible (even in the KJV) at church, and for good reason. God bless you all.
