A Must Read for Anyone- Excellent Work
I have read many books on the subject of proving the reasonableness of the Christian faith. This book surpasses all of them because it is simple yet powerful. This book is good for Christians because it enables them to beready for an answer like instructed in the Bible.It is good forunbelievers because it discusses in an unbiased way of thinking why thereis a good reason to believe. The main focus is on answering in a logicaland a reasonable way that is both convincing and solid. Paul E. Little istalented in zeroing in on the essentials and dispelling the non-essentials. It is profound, comforting and fills the gaps that many are unable to fillsatisfactorily.It has strengthened my faith and has made me bold in sharing my faith.God has used this book in my life to take all doubt outand put stillness and peace in.

A MUST-READ FOR ANY BIBLE STUDY OR SUNDAY SCHOOL>
A terrific resource that addresses the really thorny issues of Christianity and how it "works" in the lives of beleivers. Our adult study group spent nearly 12 weeks engrossed in this work. It isspecial.Read more

great book to study
I led a Bible study last year on 1Peter and we really felt God convicting us as how to depend on Him to make us gentle and quiet.At first we kept feeling that we really blew it but as we progressed we knew that it had to be the grace of God to help us conform to the image of Christ.I find Mrs. George's books very much in line with the written word of God and a real encouragement to live our lives to His glory. ...

Expecting More
This bible is a great price reduction for a leather bound new living translation bible.The new living translation is an easy to read and easy to follow along with especially for new beleivers.The only think that this bible lacked was good study notes.The devotional aspect of the bible is excellent but there are hardly any footnotes within the bible to actually call it a Study Bible.

Excellent study bible for men!
Have reviewed this bible for use in a men's bible study. Excellent tracks that are meaningful for guys in the front, with expansions throughout (a chain reference approach) so you can drill down as deep as need to. An important part of my day
Briscoe's daily studies are organized in topical tracks, each of which are connected to a chapter of the Bible.I spent my youth in the pew's of Briscoe's church (Elmbrook, outside of MKE) before moving to the east coast.These daily studies are like a beautiful voice from my past, urging me (with all Briscoe's humor and intelligence) to strive to be the man God wants me to be. If you enjoy Chambers or Tozer, this will be of great use to you. ... Read more

Why continue to be deceived...
Tim LaHaye, Jerry Jenkins, and others in the Pre-Trib circle, such as Ed Hindson, Tommy Ice, Chuck Missler, etc., continue to put forth the same deceptions that Hal Lindsey popularized decades ago.The notion of a pre-tribulation rapture is foreign to scripture, it is foreign to the teachings of the early Church, and it is grooming the Church for destruction through ignorance and lack of preparation for what is really coming.These men are novices and not prophecy "experts" or "scholars" by any stretch of the imagination; they are those who tickle the ears of gullible Christians.Why continue to be deceived?Tim Cohen, in his excellent book, "The AntiChrist and a Cup of Tea," provides biblically sound and testable evidence to show that the coming AntiChrist is known NOW.Not only that, the same author (Tim Cohen) has now put out the strongest presentation on the whole issue of the rapture EVER offered to the saints of God in Christ: "The REAL Rapture".If you really want to know the truth about the timing of the coming rapture, then you need to hear Tim Cohen's "The REAL Rapture" (based on a volume in his forthcoming "Messiah, History, and the Tribulation Period" series (see Prophecy House's web site, prophecyhouse dot com, for details on these items).

Very Helpful Beginner's Prophecy Bible
I have many study Bibles and this one is the one I take to church and pull out for general reading and devotionals.It is dedicated to the readers of the "Left Behind" series and for people who have become interested in Bible prophecy for the first time.The notes inside tie the prophetic themes together, and there is a comprehensive table of prophecies concerning Jesus in the back.Interspersed within the books are articles done by the prominent pre-tribulation scholars about topics such as "Heaven", "The Battle of Armageddon", "The Messianic Hope", "Israel in Tribulation", "God's Plan of Salvation", "The Rapture", "The Church Age", just to name a few.Studying prophecy helps you see how the Bible is all tied together, and how one part relates to another.In addition, there are center column references that allow you to explain and compare one verse with several others.The color pictures and charts are a bonus.This Bible will be around to edify believers long after the "Left Behind" series has been left behind.Buy it even if you're not interested in "Left Behind" series.

Questionable "pre-trib" notes, bad translation
First, let me address the NKJV translation. I'm not usually one to blast a translation as junk, especially since I believe the best Bible is the one that people read. But the NKJV is a pretty skeevy translation, in my estimation. It is so hard to read that you may as well stick with the original KJV. Not only that, but it retains the absolutely worst elements of the KJV (a broken verse format) and combines it with the WORST elements of the NASB (capitalized He's for God). The NKJV is such a massively awkward translation, and whatever benefits it offers for being literal are lost when one realizes that it isn't a literal translation of an reliable New Testament text - it's based on exactly the same manuscripts as the KJV, even when scholarly opinion is universal that the KJV was wrong (e.g., the "book" of life rather than the "tree" of life in the closing verses of Revelation).

A translation that makes the Bible come alive
I bought this translation based in large part on a review written by Joshua Villines, a pastor in the Atlanta area.
Excellent study Bible
For anyone who desires to read a scholarly description of the people,the places, the times and authors of the Old and New Testament, the Oxford Study Bible should be be at the top of your list. Copious foot notes aid in better understanding each scriptural passage.

Best Study Bible Available
Through its brief history the Revised English Bible (REB) has shown itself to be the best English language Scriptural text available.The REB's original Oxford 1989 printing sets the 20th-21st centuries standard for scholarly biblical translation.The 1996 Cambridge edition continues its faithful presence among serious scholars, pastors, and devoted lay people.

Wonderful book and servicce
Thoroughly enjoying the book and am gaining insights on the Book of Job.The book is in great condition and was received promptly.Would highly recommend it.

A Very Good Companion for Bible Study Beginners
The Catholic Bible Study Handbook is a very well organized, well written work by the Benedictine Jerome Kodell.He does a wonderful job in explaining the origins of the Bible and ways to study it objectively and spiritually.The part I find the most helpful is his concise summaries of each book of the Bible, explaining what they contain and where they fit in the historical context of Judeo-Christianity.This book doesn't pull out Catholic doctrine from the Bible (if you're looking for that, see Frederick Knecht's "A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture"), but leaves that the the Bible reader.This book is very user-friendly, as someone has already stated.It is a great handbook that can be used to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

Not Quite What I Was Looking For
I was looking for a book to study the bible as in a workbook type of way.Not to make a chore of it but to gain a more working knowledge of the bible and of the books contained in the bible.All of what is contained in this book on 'how to study the bible' is really on less than 10 pages.What this book does go into a great depth, is a description of each book of the bible, various forms of writing of each book of the bible, how different religions wrote their versions of their bible and such.On that the book is very good.Again, it was not what I was looking for but the price was worth the information I got from it. ...
