this bible was for my husband who is incarcerated in a state prison. He said it is very easy to read gives explainations and allows him to understand all the words.

I wanted a Bible that I could actually read and learn from. This Bible is excellent for reading and understanding and has many features for additional information. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting an enjoyable,easy to read and understand Bible.

It's the NIV Bible. I don't think my personal commentary will contribute much to reader decisions. Mechanically it is slow and too many steps to get to where you wish to read.  Bible apps are available that are faster, and much cheaper.

This Bible is really great, but it is hard to find.  If you call Dr. Anderson's ministry (Freedom In Christ), they will tell you that they are working with the publisher for a reprint, but there is no expected release date at this time.

If you really want the Bible, you should buy it here; I can't find it anywhere else.

However, there is a book that includes all of Dr. Anderson's comments and information from the Freedom In Christ Bible.  That book is titled, "The Daily Discipler".

If you already own a Bible, you may want to consider using "The Daily Discipler" with it.  Rather than buying a new Bible, just for the added content.

This one was a good Bible but not user friendly. I wasn't able to find what I was looking for (chapter) very easily

I have spent a great deal of time, looking for the perfect Bible. Without a doubt, this is the greatest study Bible, I have found. Not only is it a great price, but the commentaries are fantastic, and the print size is very good.

The study notes are very conservative, and do not, give any exagerated opinions. Great Bible.

This is a wonderful Bible.  It is the NIV, which is my favorite version.  The only complaint I really have, is that the print is kind of small, but that's not enough to deduct a star.  I can either get in some good lighting, or else get a magnifying glass.

This is a Bible.  Both Old and New Testament.  Like I said earlier, the version is NIV.  It also has other things in it, such as maps, measurement conversions, and a few other "suggestions" or "guides" or "tables" or "information".  But it is mostly just a Bible.  If you are not interested in these few "extras", that is okay; there is still a Bible as the bulk of it.  I have no problem with the "extras" because if I don't want them, I can just skip over them.  I can just read the "Bible" part of it.

I don't feel I can ever get too many Bibles, because mine all get torn up with so much use.  This is something we can all use.  It is something I need.

I highly recommend this Bible.  I don't see where anybody should have a problem with it, because like I said earlier, if you don't need or want the "extras", just ignore them.  But this is a Bible and everyone can use it.

I have owned one version or another of the Chain Reference Bible since I was a teenager in the seventies.  My 'standard' Bible has been the large print KJV for many, many years and it remains the first Bible I pick up. I purchased the NIV Chain Reference, but just didn't like the translation, it just didn't 'read' right for me.  I've enjoyed the NAS translation, but it is awfully dry reading when the heart desires poetry.  So, I ended up purchasing the NKJV.  It has been a real pleasure to read, combining the elegance of the KJV with a modern and accurate adaptation.
As for the chain reference system used by Thompson, it's such a  part of my Bible reading and study that I'd have a really hard time switching to another system.  Some of the illustrations and charts have been revised from my older KJV, but not to an extreme.  The Thompson system remains, for me, the quickest and easiest way to study a topic through the Bible, or just through either the New or Old Testament. The Bible also includes an excellent concordance; for someone new to chain reference study they can start with the traditional concordance and work their way into the Thompson system.  Also included are excellent maps, revised from the earlier versions, and a historical dictionary with photos of significant Biblical locations, with explanations.
I agree with another reviewer that Nelson Bibles are, in general, not made for people with serious intentions on daily Bible use.  They are constructed down to a price, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as these can provide a very inexpensive introduction to the Bible.  However, when one is ready to use a Bible in a serious, daily way, a better Bible will easily pay for its higher price.
Though this Bible is well-made, it is NOT as well made as my older, large print KJV.  My older Bible has whipstitching clearly seen in front and back, with pages secured as well today as when I bought it.  This newer Bible appears to have pages that are glued in like cheaper ones.  Additionally, the paper is comletely different than my older edition, and thinner. The older paper had almost an eggshell texture, whereas the newer paper is much slicker and thinner. In first use it's really quite difficult to get the pages apart.  However, it's still a very well-made Bible, just not up to the standard of the older ones.  That should in no way deter someone from buying it, though.
As a one-volume Biblical library, I haven't seen anything to beat the Thompson's.  As another reviewer noted, it's also refreshingly free of editorial bias, which certainly can't be said of all its competitors.  Most of all, each of us needs to find a Bible they can live with daily, and any Bible available is better than none at all!  Thompson Bibles aren't inexpensive but they will last twice as long as cheaper Bibles, particularly if kept in a cover.  Also, the supplemental atlases and historical additions might well save purchase of other books to accompany Biblical study. Highly recommended!

This is a decent translation of the Bible.
I prefer the KJV but this one is ok.

Right sized, and as the description correctly notes, it's large print when compared to other compact Bibles. It's easily 2-3 font sizes larger type than other similar-sized Bibles I use. I highly recommend both the ESV and this edition.

I use Blbles quite a lot for studying. The MacAuthur Study Bible is the best I have ever used. The NASB text is the closest one to the original language of the Hebrew Old Testament & Greek New Testament I have ever read.

For those who want a zippered, medium sized Good News Bible to carry around, this is a very nice edition.  Of course, the paper is thin.  This Bible has a little bit of color, used in some headings and in the famous line drawings - I find the color very appealing and easy on the eyes.  I liked this so much, I wish they had this in hardcover too !

As for the translation, this is not my primary translation.  My favorite translation is the Revised Standard Version, which I still find accurate and enjoyable especially for the New Testament.  To read the Old Testament, I like the Good News Bible among other translations.  The Old Testament is hard to plough through - it is helpful to have the Good News Translation available.

I wanted a quality Bible for a good price and that is what I got. I have only had for a few weeks but am very pleased with the construction of this Bible inside and out. The cover feels very good in the hand. The Bible is very readable; good text size; not too large; the text doesn't bleed through noticeably. The Bible lays open very well. The Bible is a good size also; a little larger but not bad. And I really like the single column text.

I have used this Bible for a while now.  I believe it is one of the clearest Bibles made.  I would purchase another one if I needed it.
