An excellent study Bible even though the print is small. Definitely worth what I paid. A lot of charts I don't have. A lot of color. An excellent concordance. I already have a a Ph. D in Bible but this Bible is really excellent.

I own a few study Bibles with different Scripture translations. To me, the NLT is the most readable and easily understandable translation. The NLT Study Bible notes are most excellent. I love the language and style of the NASB as it is the translation I first used after becoming a Christian. I love the NKJV for its beautiful language and because it includes many NT (New Testament) phrases and verses which greatly show how Scripture interprets Scripture, that the the NU (Nestle-Aland United) NT text omits.I bought both the hardcopy and Kindle versions of this Bible. The notes, cross references, in-text maps, articles, word studies, character studies and ginormous concordance are nothing short of amazing. I am enjoying reading this Bible one page at a time - including all cross references, all footnotes and all word studies and special articles. It takes quite a while to read the Bible this way, but the richness of reading familiar or repeated verses in the cross references and footnotes helps to solidify the truth of their teaching into my mind and spirit.The almost full-color aspect of this bible is gorgeous. Why "almost"? Because Nelson decided for some strange, unexplained reason to print the words of Jesus in black instead of the traditional red in this "full-color" Bible. However, that creates an opportunity for me to go through my NT and underline Jesus' words in red with a Pigma marker and flexible ruler, reinforcing His teachings in my mind and spirit.These last few paragraphs are a bit long and are for the benefit of those who've struggled with navigating through this Bible on their Android phone with the Kindle app.I bought the Kindle version so I could easily read this Bible's rich features on my phone while in bed or on the go. The instructions on how to navigate through the various parts of this Bible in the beginning pages of the Kindle version are very helpful. It's quite easy to navigate to any chapter and book, as the instructions describe. However, if you're looking for verse 85 of the 119th Psalm, you'll have to scroll a few pages past the beginning of the chapter to find it. Other Bible software I have and use on my phone makes it much easier to navigate directly to specific verses.When initially looking up a cross reference or footnote with the Kindle version, verses referenced in them are not hyperlinked. You have two options. You can either look up the verse via other Bible software on your phone (or a hardcopy) or select "See all footnotes" at the bottom of your screen. After doing option two, referenced verses are hyperlinked and are easy to select. The letter of the footnote you select is highlighted and to the left of the verse number from which it was selected. After selecting the hyperlink and reading the cross referenced verse, you can navigate back to the list of all footnotes by touching the lower part of your screen on a non-hyperlinked area, which brings up the Kindle quick navigation within a book. Select the tiny window at the bottom which reads, "Back to nnn", where "nnn" is the previous page you were viewing, which is the list of footnotes. The highlighted letter next to the verse that began this trek is gone. So, you'll simply have to remember which verse you were reading. Then, touch the letter to the left of the verse, which will take you directly back to the book, chapter and verse. After you practice this a couple of times, you'll get the hang of it.The instructions in the Kindle Bible tell you to use the back button on your device to get back to where you were originally reading in your Bible. If I do that on my phone, the Kindle reader exits the Bible book and presents me with the list of books in my Kindle library. Using my Kindle hardware, the back button works as expected. The instructions do include the caveat that you'll need to look up your specific device's instructions regarding navigation. Those instructions probably won't tell you anything about Kindle navigation, in which case you'll simply have to experiment and find what works for your device.

I love this Bible, it is a great study bible for Christians who want to deeper in God and to know more about him it even gives you pictures.

Great for references

Was impressed with how quickly this arrived.With its stunning desgn and afull complement of charts, maps, tales, and indices, this study bible is a treasure trove of information for someone starting out on their faith journey. However, some of the supplementary material seems to be at 7:00 or eight point, which would make it more difficult for those who struggle with fine print. A great gift for Confirmation, baptism, or for anyone wanting to dig deeper into the Word.

I bought this bible for my husband for a wedding present but ended up giving it to him early for his birthday! He loves it so much. The calfskin is super soft. And it smells like real leather. He loves all the study notes. It's worth spending more on to get a quality durable bible. He takes it to church every single week.

Love this Bible

The print was still a little small, and not as much color in the book as I wanted.
