Truth Quest Inductive Student Bible: Black Bonded Leather

Summary: Wouldn't trade it for another
Review: I am a 19 year old college student and this Bible is excellent for teenagers and college students alike. If you like to take notes in your Bible like I do, you will love this Bible! It provides plenty of margin room for note-takers. Also in the margins are questions that stir up the mind, but they aren't enough to get in the way if you don't like to use them. Every once in awhile I will refer to these questions but most of the time I write over them. At the bottom of each margin is a key verse which is good for a spice of inspiration throughout the day. Another helpful key is the biographies of the Biblical characters at each mention of his/her name. They are very interesting and stimulating!

This is a perfect Bible to take to church, Bible studies, or homegroups. It is also a good bedtime/morningtime/quiet time Bible.

Summary: Amazing! Actually gets students excited!
Review: I purchased these books for the students in my Youth Group and they have actually become excited to get in the Word! I thank God for this Bible and the opportunity to meet Steve Keels at the Willow Creek Youth Conference!

It is so wonderful to work with youth who have been energized by this great study bible! Praise God!

Summary: A Little Flimsy
Review: This was one of three new Bibles I purchased over the summer and by far the most disappointing.

Good parts first:
The New Living translation is easy to read.
The Bible has "heft" and feels right in your hands.
Time allocation for reading chapters aloud is a worthy innovation.
Book introductions and biographies are very well done.
Bible lies flat when open -- great for studying other tools.

Disappointments:
This does NOT appear to be related to the Kay Arthur inductive method.

The pages are extremely thin and flimsy and let too much of the next page "through" when reading. Despite being a "mark-up" Bible, I don't think it would be readable for very long if you were a serious marker or note-taker.
Outside of the main text itself, the ink is almost unreadable, especially the key passages in the lower right hand corners of each page (which stack up on top of each other) and the corner notes which are printed on a background that is almost the same color of ink as the text.
There are no maps, etc...
