I used this to lead a womens Bible study. It gives great insights and is a useful tool in bringing strength to your Christian walk. It was also a great springboard for discussion in a small group setting.

I believe this book will be very helpful to anyone who wants to understand the big picture of the Bible.

Others have pointed out that it is a collection of articles from the ESV Study Bible. That isn't a problem to me, since the ESV is not one of my study Bibles.  This means that it can easily be used with any translation.

One of the problems that many Christians face in their study of the Bible is that most Sunday School materials are rather disjointed, so that the Bible is viewed in bits and pieces, and there is no understanding gained on how it all fits together. This book gives that overall understanding.  Another very helpful feature is that it gives information that places the Bible's story in the context of world history.  There is a very helpful chapter on the Greek and Roman world around the time of the New Testament.  Also the Appendix contains timelines for the events of the Old and New Testaments as well of the period between the Testaments.

This book can be read on its own, or it can be used along with in-depth Bible study, especially a progam for reading the Bible all the way through.  This is an advantage to having it as a separate book.

A very useful study reference.

It's difficult to expand on the favorable reviews already submitted.  This is an excellent Bible study tool.  I own several commentaries but find myself more and more going to the "Believers Bible Commentary" for help.

This is a very interesting book to read and holds your attention.  You don't want to put it down, but more importantly it is based fully on bible truth.  It is a great biblical learning tool.  I have read it three times and will likely read it more.  It nutshells the basic bible knowledge  in a common language anyone can understand.  It supports all biblical information with scripture, book and verse.

This is a great tool for those who want to add structure to their daily Bible reading.  I bought it for the structure, but have also found that the notes are helping me understand more as well.

This is a powerful study tool. I use it all the time to study and you don't have to run references at all. It is a great way to look up subjects and see what the Bible has to say about that subject. I find it easy to read with the large print and easy to use.

This book was recommended to me by my pastor, whom I have a great deal of respect for.  I debated on going with other commentaries and even have a software program in my computer.  This commentary has been the most helpful.  I would recommend it to anyone looking to dig deeper into the Bible.

This is a great way to get a handle on the events of the bible. There are easy references from the outlines that help you go to scripture to look up further information as needed. The overview of each book help to put it into perspective with the relevant historical culture and relationship of old to new testament. Very interesting and handy tool.

This is an incredible resource of Word Study tools. It is specifically designed to make it easy to understand the meaning of the original Greek and Hebrew of the Bible. I know that this set of resources is highly recommended by Precept Ministries (Kay Arthur) for use in the inductive approach in studying the scripture. Here is some additional information supplied from Logos Bible Software (Libronix Digital Library System;

This is a great tool to help with studying the bible and getting a deeper understanding of the regular bible. I love Joyce Meyers and I feel that she can explain subjects and verses so well that gives you insight into God's word! Highly recommend if you are wanting to get to know Gods word better!

This is a good bible study tool. It helps you seek understanding, and (for me) every lesson was just what I needed at that very moment in my life. It helped me see sinful self, as well as let me know where I was/am up to par at in my daily walk with Christ. I got so much out of it the first time that I ordered another and started all over. Now I am trying "Pressing On Toward the Heavenly Calling: A 12-Week Study Through the Prison Epistles" also by Steve Gallagher. A co-worker is doing this one with me, and I will definitely put out a review when done (just got it in the mail today). Anyway, you won't waste your money if you buy this study unless you're not serious about being convicted and walking in the Spirit.

I enjoyed reading this Bible. It includes sections of The Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and the New Testament for each day. Within each section are explanations of certain scriptures and one longer one at the end of each day. This is not a devotional Bible, but an great tool for education about the Bible. I highly recommend committing yourself to reading through the Bible in a year and this is a great version of the Bible to use. The kindle version is very user friendly.

This book is very easy to read and understand.  I found this book so helpful in my spiritual life that I gave it as gifts to four other people.  It is informative and allows the reader to work at their pace.  The author ask that you not move from one method until you have totally mastered it.

I also like the fact that Rick Warren explained various Bible translations and provided a list of tool to use during Bible Study.  His explanation of each Bible study tool is so helpful. It is great that he provided a list of good commentaires and so forth to use.  His explanations enabled me to purchase several good tools for my library and to know how to use them.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in studying God's word.  I gave the book to a new minister, and two Church School teachers.  They all found the book to be very helpful.

The NIV Understanding the Faith Study Bible is a great tool for anyone wanting firm grounding on the essentials of the Christian faith.  With almost 1500 pages, the Bible contains helpful information such as:

1.  Introduction to each book of the Bible - brief summary and background info for better understanding of each book's purpose and content.
2.  Different views on various issues - women in ministry, dealing with desires, God's ominiscience, etc.
3.  Glossary of theological terms.
4.  Adequate concordance.
5.  Contributions of earlier Christians.

My only complaint is that I would have liked to have seen some maps - would be helpful for better understanding biblical geography and locations. Still, a good edition and will be a valuable Christmas present for our daughters to share.

I am thoroughly impressed with the breakdown of the words,verses, chapter by chapter with this wonderful study tool.

I strongly recommend this to everyone who has the desire to understand and go deeper into the Word of God by understanding the words in context in order to see the whole picture.

Thank you T. Everett Denton for taking the time and care into this most important book.
