My thoughts:
I must say I am usually a King James Version kind of reader, it's really what I grew up with, but at the urging of my wife I have been expanding my horizons where my Bible translations are concerned, and it really has opened up a whole new understanding of the Bible for me. There are so many great features included in this NLT study Bible and some of my favorite were word wealth which helps me understand God's word by providing easy to understand definitions for more than 550 important words in the Bible.There is even a word wealth index included in the front of the Bible that shares the word and then steers us to the scripture where the definition is located. Another great feature was called truth-in-action that shares practical ways to apply the Bible's great truths. While this is peppered thru the Bible there is a handy index that makes it easy to locate the feature thru the Bible.Charts maps, concordance and study notes are also included and are great tools for furthering Bible study. I have actually been using this study Bible for a few months and not only have I been able to dig deeper into the scripture, I have also come away with a greater understanding of what I have read. A great Study Bible that would make a wonderful gift!
