NIV Classic Reference Bible, Indexed

Summary: An Excellent Resource for Spititual Enhacement.
Review: I been reading this Bible for close to eight years now and love it so much, I am purchasing two for my 2 daughters.

The Cross Reference System in this Bible is an excellant reference tool for those new to reading the Bible. I purchased my first, after reading the introduction and preface. It is a new translation from the best available Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts.

The sectional headings, at the beginning of each book, Summarize the title, background, author, date of writing, theme of Book, and Message, which for me, enhanced my reading of each Book.

Summary: A very nice basic Bible
Review: I recommend this as an everyday-use Bible.

Don't be mis-led by the photo at the top of the page. This Bible has a high-quality, plain navy blue leather cover with silver printing on the binder and silver-leaf pages.

As with all NIV's the print is clear and easy to read. The page is in a two-column format, with Christ's words in red letters. The layout is clean since there are no study guides or running commentaries (a plus as far as I am concerned; I find them distracting). There is a brief concordance with a few maps in the back.

It's a clear, readable, and convenient Bible that should last for years.
