Thought provoking and Fun!
This was a very different sort of bible study for me.The format of scrapbooking each week's concept not only allowed us to enjoy the process of scrapbooking, but also encouraged deeper and more personal discussions than the other bible studies I have done.
A new exciting change to a regular Bible Study
This study is wonderful!!!It is so easy and you don't have to even know the first step with scrapbooking.The materials are great and the Bible study is so refreshing.I would recommend this study to any group that needs a change or something more relaxing.

overly dogmatic commentary and articles
(I am reviewing this as a pastor within the AoG).The commentay and the articles written within were very narrow in their theology.They were dogmatic on some points that are very debateable, even within pentecostal circles.The article on wine and alcohol were honestly written with very shameful scholarship.The idea that it is sin for a christian to drink alcohol is anti-biblical.Jesus made kool-aid?!"Mixed wine" does not refer to wine dilluted with a lot of water, it is different types of wine mixed with spices.The dogmatic eschatology was also troublesome.The basically preached their pre-trib eschatology chart with the same conviction that they preached the divinity of Christ!There was not more then one point of view presented even int he most secondary and controversial maters.

Just what you need if you want to understand scripture.
I had heard about this study bible for years and had simply passed on the opportunity to get one. I'm glad I finally purchased my own. The helps are marvelous and the scholarship is impeccable. If you're not pentecostal and want to see why pentecostals believe in the Holy Spirit and the manifestations of the gifts, this is definitely for you.

Clear text....Clear power!!
The NIV Full Life Study Bible is an excellent choice for christians.Although I do not agree with all of the notes most of them are excellent and practical.This Bible is uncompromising in its adherence to historic christianity.The text and notes are clear and bold unlike its successor (Life In The Spirit Study Bible).Go for the original it's easier on the eyes!This Bible contains thorough book introductions; annotations; indexes; maps and a concordance.It has a pentecostal emphasis but that won't hurt non-pentecostals (like myself) a bit.Buy it for Full Life!! ...

John: Jesus - the Word, the Messiah, the Son of God
I bought this book to use as a spring board for a study that I am doing in SS and it has worked very well for what I wanted it for.I would recommend it as a study guide for the book of John as well, it is well done and well written with thought provoking questions.

Great Work
I agree with the previvous reviewer, this is a great work on the doctorine of Grace and being set free to enjoy our salvation.But as with other works by John Macarthur, the use of a sharper editiorial pen would have been useful. MacArthur has a unfortunate habit of using 500 words when 50 would serve the purpose.Other than that, this is a very valuable work for deeper biblical knowledge.

Set Free!
This commentary clearly exposes false teachers and false religion.Word by word, MacArthur illuminates Paul's clear warnings and rebukes to the church at Galatia and the false teachers that were binding them in a hell of hypocrisy.A must read for anyone seeking to understand freedom in Christ.If Christianity is making you miserable, this respected teacher's book is a great relief. ...

Perfect tool to strengthen relationship with God.
I prayed for the perfect study bible, and within a day came across this one.This bible is not only physically beautiful, its enhancement tools are exceptional.Its historical references (both text and map) help to place chapters in their proper context.Elegant inspirational prose ("Encounters") reaches the depth of your soul.Character studies make bibical characters relevant to today's society.

Navpress Bible Study--Book of Joshua
We are using this study guide for a group Bible study.We find the background information especially helpful, and it allows us an in-depth study without having to consult other sources of information all the time.We especially like the "additional" questions in the margins of the pages.These help us to think more deeply about the specific passages and apply them to our lives.Some of the numbered questions can be a bit repetitive.Many of us wish the "For the Group" section was at the beginning of the lessons, instead of the end.Apparently there is no leaders' guide for this series.Overall, we are impressed with the study guide, and have used other volumes in this series for previous studies (Hebrews, Matthew, Acts).

"Be Strong and of Good Courage"
A phrase repeated at least four times in the book of Joshua.

My Favorite So Far
I am a pastor, and over the year's I have had the privilege of using several different study Bibles.I have used the Open Bible, Thompson Chain, Matthew Henry Study Bible, Dakes, Word, and Scofield to name a few.The notes and helps in each of these have their particular strengths and weaknesses.I could comment on each but will not.For my expository style of study, I have found that I like the Ryrie by far the best.What I am looking for is insight into the scripture for what it actually means, giving consideration to the original intent of the author, NOT JUST A PRETTY DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT.In the Ryrie, notes on Old Testament symbolism with New Testament fulfillment are great.In particular the notes in Hebrews are very well thought out.The notes in the Gospels are also excellent. Ryrie Study Bible
This is an excellent Bible with a lot of extras that provide in depth information without just being filler.My only complaint is that there's not more room for notes.

Excellent resource!
In the short time since my purchase of this Bible, it has become my primary carry and reading Bible. Read more

A MUST for Moms
My boys are referred to as Night and Day-not sure which is which, but they are that opposite!This book helped locate the strengths of each child as well as define areas to pay more particular attention to in guidance and training. Illustrations of personalities are taken from Bible characters, and there is lots of room for personal analysis of your own children.Thank God for Vollie and her willingness to help train us Moms who are working on training our children to Serve the Lord!
help for moms
Our small Bible study group of moms just started using this book, but already it has taught us to listen for God's plan in raising our children.The study has also stimualted discussion about showing favoritism for a particular child in the family and praying for our children and theirfuture.We are very excited about continuing this wonderful learningexperience. ...

awesome guide on how to revolutionize your Bible study habits
I had the habit of doing a Bible study during quiet time every morning. I'd go over a passage, and let my hand and heart go free, writing down paragraph after paragraph on how I interpreted the passage and what I was getting out of it. I'd also go to small group Bible studies regularly. But something was always missing, and that was how I linked stuff to my life, and I realized I needed guidance as to how to get more out of Bible studies.

Some insightful questions
The thing that has impressed me about the LifeChange series most is that the way it focuses my reading of a book of the Bible in places I might have missed. Like a good group leader, the book has a way of asking a fairly penetrating question on verses I'd skipped over before.Read more

End Your Search, This is the Book
Anyone who is looking for a book on how to get faith, how to use faith or how to make faith work in your life, stop looking.This is the only book you'll need. In a simple yet profound way, Kenneth Hagin uses the Bible to show us how to get and use faith to change the circumstances in our lives.This book is simple enough for beginners, but will also teach a thing or two to people who have been reading and searching for a long time. Please don't let the simplicity of this book turn you off.As he says, the things of God ARE simple.We have to have help misunderstanding the Bible.If you're not a "Word" person, you'll be suprised at some of things he quotes to back up his teaching.If you are a Word person, you'll wonder why you didn't see the continuity and simplicity of the teaching before.
