Very nice little book. The book is well marked and makes it easy to find scriptures. I ordered several more can't beat the price  and just the right size to fit in a purse or pocket.

This serves as a very easy guide for Bible study groups. The content is useful for spiritual growth and in line with Catholic Church teaching.

This version is one I like, and I found it easily navigable on my Kindle.  In fact, I have used it every Sunday in church since I bought it a few weeks ago.  I love carrying it in my purse, so that scriptures are accessible in just a minute or two.

I enjoy daily reading of the scriptures. This Bible is easy to use - going from book to book takes a simple touch. Each book of the Bible starts with a background/summary, and at various points explanations are interjected. The annotations are helpful, providing explanation or cross reference. A guide to using the references is frequently offered. My only complaint is that at times when I try to open it it freezes and takes a long time to load. This could be a Nook problem, however it seems to only happen with this Bible. I've tried other e-Bibles - this is the best I've found.

Make the Words Your Own: An Early Christian Guide to the Psalms by Benjamin Wayman

The Psalms have been used since the beginning as an early guide to the faith for Christians.  The early church Father Athanasius has given us a guide to these psalms to help us in our journey of faith.  Benjamin Wayman, professor of religion at Greenville College in his introduction outlines the major points of Athanasius life, including the fact that in 367 he penned the earliest guide to the Psalms.  With intractable wit and devotion, Athanasius is a sure guide in helping us through the Psalter.

In the introduction, Wayman points out that, Athanasius instructs us to personally apply the Psalms, the practice of which conforms our lives to Christ.  Through praying the words of the Psalter as our very own, we learn a new language that makes possible a new life in Christ.  Thus, we become what we pray (xxii).  The range of emotions the psalmists deal with, the depths of suffering, the joys of worship, all these things lead the Christian to hold onto the psalms as our very own.

The Psalms are divided into different sections; ones for suffering, betrayed, harassed, reflection, daily life, etc.  Athanasius provides a brief description or way to use the psalm in worship that is both encouraging and illuminating.  For Psalms 14 and 53, Athanasius writes, Whenever you hear people speaking profanely against Providence, do not join them in their disregard for God, but intercede with God, saying Psalms 14 and 53 (90).  These psalms point to those who denounce God but also to the psalmists trust that God is Israels refuge, that he is our refuge as well.  Furthermore, these psalms point to a restoration of Israels hopes.  Athanasius is wise to point us to these psalms as a way of contrast between those who fear God and those who revile Him.

The translation by Wayman gets to the heart of Athanasius message of how the Psalms are to be used in worship.  This book is one that will be used again and again as a way to pray to God in times of abundance and times of little.

Thanks to Paraclete Press for the copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a person, who became a Christian as an adult, learning scripture has been a challenge (we know young children are more adept at learning and memorization), further an accident has impacted my memory, this book has been a helpful solution.
I love having this copy around when I need a quick word on a specific topic whether to address a problem or issue for myself or others.
The set-up is very handy.  The table of contents lists subjects in alphabetical order and the book is arranged likewise.  Anger is the first topic, then Belief, Charity etc. ending with Word of God.  On the subject of anger, there are 23 different scripture references which address various types of anger a few of which include: God's anger, justified anger, handling anger and responding to anger.  Similarly, other topics have scripture which addresses related matters for that word.
In the back of the book there are multiple blank pages so you can make notes or reference scriptures that you find helpful.
I recently purchased another book formatted in a similar format which is currently quite popular among Christian community (I will review it but I don't want to critique it here); that book falls short in my opinion.
It's size is also convenient to carry with you when on the go.  Small enough not to take much space in your glove box or purse, you can review it when you are sitting at an appointment or face another delay.
The Leather binding keeps it in great condition, I've had mine for quite a few years.

This is a nice little Bible. I really like the layout and the colors used in the printing. The paper isn't too special, rather thin, but I really like the cover. The NIV translation is a reliable translation, probably still the most popular modern translation in the English speaking world.

What I really like about his Bible is the devotionals for those times when the pastor's sermon is just too long or too boring. At those times, which, hopefully, aren't too many, it's nice to have short, interesting articles to read to stimulate your thinking.

Thanks, Zondervan.

What I like best about this book is that the prayers are based on Scripture passages.
In the first book those prayers and declarations are concise with a comprehensive list of topics.
Another aspect I appreciate in this book is that the author used a variety of Scripture versions and shared the difference wording.

This is my favorite prayer book and I use it daily.
I like the leather binding as it should last a long time, if I bought the two books separately I would prefer "Prayers That Rout Demons."
I recommend this book. I liked it enough to order another of Mr. Eckhardt's books- "Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare Manual: A Comprehensive Guide to Living Free."

The NIV Leadership Bible is a good devotional Bible that comes with 15 minute devotions that you can read for up to 52 weeks out of the year. I particularly liked the short insights that are on many pages that pertain to leadership styles/profiles based on certain scripture passages. These help bring some clarity to a passage or help you to see the leadership skills that can be adapted into your own life. The weekly devotionals incorporate many profiles of leaders throughout the Bible as well as instructions to help one grow deeper in the Lord. These insights, and instructions to read other verses within other sections of the Bible are great ways to learn and incorporate more scripture into your life.

 Another important detail that I liked was that in the devotionals they recommend additional reading and verses to memorize.  To me it seemed that through all of this, they were encouraging the readers to spend more than just 15 minutes in the word of God but rather to make it a part of their life throughout the day. Memorizing a verse often helps one to meditate on God's word. It helps to engrave it in ones mind and heart. Because of that I was impressed that this was a part of the recommendations.

 If you are looking for a Bible that has more in depth information including study notes, Greek/Hebrew translations and more, then look on. But if you are looking for a Bible that incorporates devotionals with a leadership focus, with the NIV translation, then this Bible is a winner. No matter what Bible you want or are using, just make sure that you are spending time reading it and understanding what it says.

I received this Bible from Booksneeze.com for free. No one forced me to write a review. These opinions are my own.

It means very nicely my needs related to my daily scripture readings.  The tabbed indexes help and the print is easy enough to read. The p[rice relative to features make it a good buy.

I use for my Bibles and have shared with others.  It is helpful to find your way when you are a new user of the Bible, using a different one or at least finding your way more rapidly.
