Excellent Study Bible! - Your "Secret Decoder Ring"
----------------------------------------------------The NIV translation is one easiest Bibles to understand at a grade reading level of 7.8. With the added study Bible features, this becomes an excellent resource for adults or for a confirmation class. Here is what you will like: @ Did you even wonder what Jesus was referring to when he would say, "Did you never read in the Scriptures..." The 100,000 footnotes will show you exactly what scripture is being referenced! @ The 20,000 study notes give you deeper understanding and historical context. They stick to the facts without making political statements. @ Numerous charts, tables, maps, diagrams, and timelines help explain context and clarify key points. @ The Concordance and Subject Guide will help you find passages. The NIV Study Bible is the Bible that our church gives to all 6th graders. As one student said, "This Bible is like a secret decoder ring." We also use it for our adult Bible studies. Enjoy! - Craig

Summary: Excellent Study Bible! - Your "Secret Decoder Ring"
Review: I ordered this book from the States as we can't get it in the UK.
I am absolutely delighted with it. I am not a pensioner, just 40, but do have a problem reading standard sized Bible print. This Bible is ideal. Yes, the pages are quite thin, but I guess they have to be to allow for the large print, or the book would be 4 inches thick. The binding is very good quality and the thumb indexing really useful. I would recommend it to anyone who like me struggles with small print. As for the Amazon service, what can I say. I ordered it on a Sunday afternoon. I paid for the fast shipping as it is near Christmas and I wanted to be sure to get it before the holiday rush, and it arrived this morning, Wednesday. You can't beat that can you?

Summary: Excellent way to expand your understanding
Review: I've had this bible for several years. For me, the NIV makes it more readable and more easily understood. I can certainly understand some brothers and sisters who insist the KJV is the only way to go, but it can be hard reading. In addition, the study notes are great. It is a real blessing to be able to look on the same page and see the reference to background info, definitions, spiritual context, or the Jewish law or customs or any number of study helps. I find that underlining as I go helps me to retain information and also keeps me motivated to read every day. So my bible is getting pretty marked up. I look forward to buying another one in a year or two. I have not noticed that the red type is difficult to read and giving it one star for that is a little harsh. Thanks to all the fine people who put this together.

Summary: Zondervan NIV Study Bible, Large Print
Review: The site describes Bible as LEATHER BOUND when it is BONDED LEATHER. There is a big difference. Red letter is very light - should be called pink letter. Black print also light and hard to read. Print from back side of page shows thru.
NOT A BIBLE I WOULD RECOMMEND for a senior citizen or anyone who wants easy on the eyes reading.
The OLD Zondervan Study Bible, large print was easy to read.
Red print was red print. Black print was black. No shadow of back side of page showing thru. Find it!!
