My Review:

I love Bibles with lots of stuff, the more stuff the better. Study bibles are the best because they have further explanations of everything that you are reading. Well this little nifty version takes the best of both worlds and combines them. With amazing features that will fit all your needs and then some you are presented with a NKJV fit for a king. It has up to date maps, and pictures. I loved the articles on key doctrines. Your cup runneth over with this one. Perfect Bible for those of us that like history or research.


This version is paperback, there is also a hardcover available. This Bible is no wimp, it stands at 2400 pages. Makes the perfect gift!!


**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author.

My Thoughts:

I feel three things should be considered.
The weight of the Bible is 2.7 pounds.
The print is small. I have not been able to find in the Bible nor at the publishing website what the type font size is. I found a type font size chart online @ https://www.allbibles.com/pdfs/type_s.... I estimate the type font size of the paperback edition to be 7 point. Whereas, the hardcover edition is 8 point.
How do you plan to use the Bible? Will the Bible be for daily Bible reading? Will you take the Bible to church? Will the Bible be used for Bible study? The personal size paperback Bible is too heavy to be carried in a purse. It can be carried by hand, but if you want a smaller more portable Bible then I do not believe this is the Bible for you. Look for a Bible that is not a study Bible, because the added material in a study Bible will always make the Bible heavier. Further, I suggest if you are going to purchase this style of study Bible, purchase the hardcover edition.
For several years my primary Bible used was the ESV Study Bible by Crossway. The Bible was like carrying a dictionary, but I didn't care. I had a few people make fun of me, but I still didn't care. The Bible was falling apart, pages were torn and falling out. In the last month, I have switched to the hardcover, NKJV, Full-Color Study Bible. I reviewed this Bible October 29, 2014. I love this Bible! I enjoy using it for daily Bible reading, Bible study, and I carry it to church on Sundays.

Rating: 4 stars for very good

[Ellie Meadows · Rating 1 out of 5]

I'm reading through this atm, but I'm already at 1 stars. The manipulative writing in the forward of this book just begs for someone with no critical thinking skills to not understand it, pick this up and become an insta-Christian. I've read the NIV and ESV before, and was unlucky enough to pick this up at a Goodwill today.

Where was the thought process behind this banger line in the "Getting to Know God" section?
"At that moment, He will *come into* your *innermost* being and start you on a wonderful journey toward *intimacy* with God. This doesn't sound how you want it to.

The Bible Basics section sounds like it's written by someone who's never read this book and that's baffling to me as an atheist. Do you not actually read what you write in these?

*Why Read the Bible?*

"Is inspired by god and is without error" is a wild claim to make. And the evidence? "It existed for a long time", "it has lots of prophecies that the translators of this bible kindly added for you to see how flimsy they are in the back of the book", "literally the "New York is real so Spiderman must also be" argument", and "it survived being banned, burned and confiscated"

I don't want to be that person, but NONE of these give evidence as to why or how the Bible is inspired by god and is without error" The author of this part of this Bible (as a way to add more fluff and filler) will literally just re-word a concept 2 or 3 times as to make it seem like there are plenty of pieces of evidence or proof for their god. When in reality, you've just said the same exact thing 3 different times and you're praying on the illiteracy of your readers to not understand that.

*What is Faith?*

"Belief in the existence of God and his unseen kingdom" What does this mean? Well one of the things it apparently means is action: "if we truly believe there is more to life than what can be seen, our faith will drive our values and actions to align with our beliefs" Who does this follow? Where is the logic in any of this?

*A Visual Survey of the Bible*

"Theme" (OT): "Humanity's unsuccessful attempts to please God through works." There are examples of god himself needing to see things with his own eyes. If this is truly what you believe, then why would god be more active with humans personally in the OT than the NT? If god himself had a personal hand in the OT with so many stories (hardening pharaohs heart, sending Hagar back to her rapist, turning lot's wife to salt). Any works done by human in the OT are directly requested by god... the issue is they don't listen to god well enough. The god you're describing here wants obedience, not goodness/good works.

"The Law was given through Moses" The same Moses that god himself commands to take 32,000 "girls who've not known a man intimately" as slaves while slaughtering their brothers, fathers and mothers? The Law your god gives you required you to slaughter other humans for a time.

"A Living Legacy" kind of undermines an "infallible word". Those two concepts are incompatible.

Now I barely started Genesis so I'm going to give me brief two bits on that:

"The literary structure of Genesis is clear" is it though? I've yet to meet any Christians that can actually agree on what Genesis says. Because I've had a lot of Christians claim that Genesis is completely metaphor (someone I had met was writing a thesis paper on that), and others claim that Genesis is a 100% accurate account of events, and beyond that, there are others that claim that Genesis is partial truth and partial metaphor (this often changing word to word as what they take as metaphor, and in my opinion this take is the laziest of the three).

Apparently Genesis has Messianic predictions? Hard disagree. (Gen 3:15) You're trying to claim the talking snake in that story is the devil despite that not being said anywhere, you're assuming that. Do you think god was actually tricked by Satan to the point that god "accidentally" punished snakes? Do you think all snakes are demons? If god punished this talking snake and all snakes that came after, then I would argue that's an unjust punishment. Snakes don't have a consciousness, so I'd argue it's deeply unethical to claim an all good and just god that would unfairly judge parts of his creation.

Now for a big aspect in regards to verses like Gen 4:25. You understand, as readers of the Bible, that the authors of the NT had access to the OT? It's not really prophecy if you can just read it in the OT and claim that some guy did it. Not to mention how vague most of these "prophecies" even are. "Christians/Jesus will be mocked" yes, because all religions are mocked by other people. Christians mock Muslims. Muslims mock Christians, etc. If I say that something is going to happen sometime in the future to someone that thinks like me, that's not really prophecy if it comes true. And then you have prophecy like Isaiah 9:6-7... Jesus never held a political position of power. Jesus was never a king in the way this prophecy requires. He ruled over no people, he held no lands. Jesus wasn't a king or a leader in the way this prophecy requires. So no, Jesus didn't fulfill this prophecy.

"Nowhere in the Book of Genesis is the author named. Although the events of the book end 300 years before Moses was born, the rest of the Bible and most of church historians attribute authorship of Genesis to Moses." I'm sorry, what now? A man who wasn't alive until 300 years AFTER Genesis was written is the author? Is this how you're trying to circumnavigate claims of "who saw Genesis to write about it" mixed with "this book is actually divinely inspired, see Moses was given a vision"... based off of... vibes???

Anyway, that's why this book gets a starting 1 star to me. The author is either deeply dishonest or a complete idiot (or a group of complete idiots) pretending to understand something that they can't communicate back in an effective manner. It's deeply frustrating as an atheist trying to better understand why Christians think. I want to understand your point of view, but it's incoherent and illogical to anyone that doesn't already read this book with bias towards these less than moral stories and characters. If you want a biblical translation. I'd say skip this one.

"A type is a historical fact that illustrates a spiritual truth" wtf... so this is like "kinds". It means whatever you want. That's not truth, that's not a fact, this is the dumbest line in the intro of this whole book so far. And then doesn't go on to describe historical facts... nope starts to name people that the author claims are "types of Jesus". Never in the 20 years of my faith had I heard anyone try and pretend this was a thing... ever. This is ridiculous.

If you are looking for a specialty Bible that focuses on illuminating the meaning of the words in the Bible, then the NKJV Word Study Bible – 1700 Key Words That Unlock The Meaning Of The Bible from Thomas Nelson Publishers is worth exploring!

This Bible offers you the convenience of reading about key words that will help illuminate important passages right in the body of the text!

Although the Bible also contains standard features such as Bible book introductions, colored maps, and the Words of Christ in red, this is a specialty Bible that does not contain any additional study notes or commentary on the passages - only the word studies.

Although I like the concept of this Bible and think it makes a nice addition to one's library, it does not completely eliminate the need for concordances or other study references, nor does it stand on its own as a traditional Study Bible.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This Bible is hardcover filled with tools to help you look at the scriptures and help you understand the Bible in a new and fresh way. It helps you understand it so much easier. This has a more casual way to understand the Bible by helping you dig deeper into God's word through the topics, verses and the books of the Bible. I found this to be a more simple way to understand the Bible then other contexts. However, I found the paper to be thin, which doesn't make this Bible a great study Bible for years to come. While it is a helpful study tool, I don't think the paper will last for years. Due to the paper, I give this Bible 4/5 stars.

Thank you to the Publishers for providing me a complimentary copy.

[Nathan Albright · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Note: This book was provided free of charge by BookLook/Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for an honest review.]

As someone who reads and reviews more than my fair share of Bibles [1], what I look for when it comes to a Bible is pretty straightforward. Since this particular Bible is a New King James Version, the textual apparatus is one that I have been familiar with since I got my first one as a child, and aside from some obvious issues with the text of 1 John 5:7, for example, the text is one I am comfortable with and enjoy, and that tends to make any enjoyment of a Bible far greater. Considering there are so many Bibles that come across my way that use a defective textual apparatus from Westcott and Hort, that is no mean consideration. In contrast to other Bibles that sometimes come my way, there is no strange division of the text based on the author's suppositions of when they were written. This is a Bible in traditional Protestant order and with a text that millions are familiar with, and if you like that, you will likely enjoy this Bible a great deal.

So, what sets this Bible apart from others if its contents are so much like other Bibles, even to the point of having fairly ordinary cross references that are familiar in many other presentations of the NKJV? The main distinction this Bible offers is its extensive word study notes. About 1700 words in the Old and New Testaments have special sidebars that give the word in Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic, its range of translations, other verses it is found in, and its general usage in extrabiblical texts. This is no small feat, as it gives a great deal of depth to Bible studies. Those words which have word studies either on the page or elsewhere are underlined, for the convenience of the reader doing a word study-related sermonette or one's own personal readings. Each of the books of the Bible comes with a short introduction that also includes some key words in the book that are worthy of special attention and consideration and help the reader have some idea of the particular word use of various biblical authors, something which is also useful in understanding scripture.

Having used this Bible at services as a way of testing how I liked it, I found the notes to be very worthwhile and they will likely help me in my own research. I particularly enjoyed the detailed indices in the back which included the Strong's numbers for various words, which will be of great use in looking up words. In fact, I plan on making this my default Bible to read at Church and to use first when it comes to looking up word meanings for my own message preparation. As someone who appreciates a wide variety of Bibles, I can think of little praise I would rather give--in the main I consider this Bible to be similar to the NKJV study Bible I used until the binding failed and the pages started falling out. If the same fate happens to this particular Bible, I hope that there is another Bible at least equally useful on the way or in my library to replace it.

This review is for the ebook version of the NKJV Word Study Bible: 1,700 Key Words that Unlock the Meaning of the Bible.

I am lucky enough to a collection of ebibles or bible ebooks. The NKJV Word Study Bible: 1,700 Key Words that Unlock the Meaning of the Bible is a great addition to my bible study collection has it looks into and explains the meanings of so many words in the bible...1700 key words.

The NKJV is not my preferred version, the NIV is, but I still derive a lot of value from it. What I look for in an ebook bible is links that work. I have been experimenting and the links do indeed work. I appreciate that the bible takes the guess work out of word meanings. Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek words are interpreted and explained for the reader.

While I don't think this is a life changing bible or one that I would recommend to someone as the only bible to use for bible study there is a lot of value in understanding words that you may have been guessing at before.

I think the NKJV Word Study Bible: 1,700 Key Words that Unlock the Meaning of the Bible will be a great addition to my bible study library.

This review is also available on my blog, Read Till Dawn.

From time to time, I see a Bible available for review on BookLook Bloggers. Normally this isn't a big issue for me, because I only get two credits for requesting at a time so I don't feel the slightest desire to spend one on a Bible (especially since I already have about six here at home!). A few months ago, though, the options were particularly slim–all the good books had already been snapped up for the month–and I had a credit to burn. I figured, why not? I'll request a Bible! I'd already learned that I didn't like ugly hardback Bibles, so I went with this nice-looking paperback one. And by paperback, I thought it meant that the picture was just the box it came in and then the Bible itself would be leatherbound.

I guess I need to read the fine print more closely. Because when they say paperback, they mean paperback. And that ugly picture you see up there? Yeah, that's literally what's printed on the outside of the Bible. Yuck. Also, this thing is shaped like a brick. It's got about the same proportions as one, too–very short, squat, and heavy. Not attractive at all.

Honestly, I can't really get over this Bible's outward ugliness. I've barely been able to make myself use it at all. Flipping through it, though, the font seems like a reasonable size (though it might be a tad small if you have vision problems). The text itself fills about two-thirds of the page, and the bottom third is made up of notes on the text. I also see a variety of maps, tables, cultural notes, etc. scattered throughout the entire Bible, and detailed introductions at the beginning of each book. The maps and pictures featured in the introductions are all done in full color, which is–ironically enough, looking at the cover–pretty aesthetically pleasing.

I don't know, I like my books to be attractive on the outside. I like to pick them up, stroke them in appreciation for a minute, and then open them up. There's no attractiveness to this one, so I know I won't be motivated to use it any time soon. I'd much rather study from my pretty pink leather-bound Bible! The biggest perk of this particular study Bible, though, is that it's only thirty dollars. I suppose, if I actually had to pay for a new Bible, that would be a pretty huge note in its favor.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this Bible from the publisher through the BookLook Program.

I was looking for a bible for bible study and I was looking for a King James version bible, that has notes on the side that help if you don't understand the scriptures. I love the 1,700 Key Words that Unlock the Meaning of the Bible which is perfect for anyone and the design of the bible is nice for male or female. It has beautiful imitation leather cover, I love that the bible includes: Book introductions, Words of Christ in red, Word studies, Indexes, Concordance.

The New King James Version of Scripture is gaining a very good following. While holding to the consistency of the original King James translation of Scriptures the New King James brings the English into a more modern readable text. The original King James was very nice for the poetic and wisdom scriptures and many of us remember its grace of text from our early childhood memory work. But the Old English from the 17th century was a bit dated for most readers today. They had a hard time understanding the Thee's and Thou's. So, this new work is very nice indeed and provides a good readable translation.

The Study Bible portion has two segments. The first is the Topical Articles that are included. Each of the topics has an outline that walks you through the scripture and gives you a good understanding from scripture of the topics. There are 21 topical studies ranging from The Trinity to End Times (listed as last things). Each topic has a short outline in the contents and gives you the page numbers to guide you through the Bible to the Study notes and the Scriptures that are part of the topic.

The second portion of the study Bible is that each book of the Bible begins with a Summary and a section on "How to Study" the particular book that you are going to be reading. As part of the introduction it also gives a short "Highlights" section that will help you be familiar with what you are going to read.

Finally, as you read through the Bible there will be explanatory notes on the scriptures that you are reading. These are the familiar short commentary on key verses of each chapter, much like you find in every "study" Bible that you may have worked through.

I think that Thomas Nelson has done a very good job in providing a Bible for people new to scripture and wanting to get a handle on the contents, story line and background of the Bible. This would be an excellent gift for any young or new Christian that you might know.

Enjoy!

NKJV, Apply the Word Study Bible, Hardcover, Red Letter Edition
This is one of the most informative bibles I own. It is packed with additional content to assist along the way as you study and learn the teachings of the bible. I use this bible weekly during our bible study group where we are doing a chronological bible study as this bible as some valuable insight that is not included in the bible we are using for the study. Another member of our group liked this bible so well that she purchased a copy to use.
Before each book there is an introductory page with key verses and notes.
The additional content layout is very easy to use. It enables us to learn even more about key people in the bible. The maps are beautiful. I also find the concordance very helpful. I particularly liked the color-coding in this study bible it makes it very easy to find the information I am looking for.
I think this bible is suitable for teens as well as adults. I also think it would be a great bible to those just starting out on their walk with the Lord. I know I find myself overwhelmed at times and this bible has really helped me get the answers I am seeking.

Studying the Bible is one of the most important parts of my life. Understanding the original language and the meaning behind each word gives me a better appreciation of God's book. The new NKJV Word Study Bible published by Thomas Nelson gives you just that. It is a Bible with 1,700 key words and their original meaning defined and elaborated on.

This Bible includes:
•Paragraph-style text with in-text subheadings
•Translators' notes
•Book introductions
•Words of Christ in red
•Word studies
•Indexes
•Concordance
The features that I enjoyed the most were the book introductions and the translators' notes. The book introductions give a place, time, and purpose for that book in the Bible. It also gives you the main ideas for that book. For instance, in the book of Ephesians the introductions tells the reader that the group of people Paul was writing to were rich and living as beggars. I didn't know that until I read this commentary.

The translators' notes were very informative. They give you an in-depth description of each word that is being identified and also help you to better understand why that word would have been used. They also provide other passages in the Bible where you may find that word being used in a similar way.

The word studies include those from Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic languages. Having these words explained gave me a new sense of the idea behind "Bible Study". Digging deeper and unveiling familiar words to become new and fresh. I absolutely love this Bible and use it for my primary Bible at home now.

This Bible has helped me to experience scripture in a whole new and exciting way.

The NKJV study bible is published by Thomas Nelson. The main marketing point on this Bible was that it was full color, but honestly that mostly means that some notes are in a colored background, and introductions to books have pretty pictures relating to a verse in that book. The maps are spread out through the Bible and collected at the back of the book. There is an index, concordance, list of the parables of Jesus, and several other similar charts. The print is very tiny yet the Bible is very thick and heavyweight, which was kind of disappointing, but there are a lot of notes. I was really glad to see that this was the New King James Version too; it's one of my personal favorite translations, and I am so glad to have an edition with many notes. I would just enlarge the letters so I can read it better and darken the black of the print so it's easier to see. I love that there are several maps and that they are woven throughout the Bible so that I don't always have to flip to the back, but if I did, it's great to know that I can find them all in one place. Overall, bringing the charts and tables, commentary and concordance, NKJV and notes all together in this one Bible was a fantastic idea. Just be aware that's it is very heavy!

Thank you to Thomas Nelson and BookLook bloggers for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review; all opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review.

I’m happy to say I’ve added another study bible to my daily study time! The Apply The Word Study Bible by Thomas Nelson. It is a New King James Study Bible, and I love the title “Apply The Word, Live In His Steps”, which is what I hope my bible study helps me to do.

This bible has many features that I love. Book introductions that have lots of information to help understand who wrote the book, when it was written and who for, as well as any other information that may pertain to that book in the bible, real life application notes with questions to help e think about what I am reading, information on people as the are introduced into the passages, information on places, that help me to understand where events are happening, a cross references near verses which helps me to gather more information, a presentation page, which is helpful if giving as a gift, the words of Jesus are in red letters, there’s a nice concordance, and there are also maps and timelines throughout. This hardcover bible has thick pages and the print type was easy for me to read.

I have enjoyed having this bible to use during my studies. The study information has been very useful. The life applications included help me to see how I can use what I’ve studied in my everyday life.

This bible has been added to my list of favorites and I will continue to use it with my others in my daily study of God’s word.

I enjoy reviewing different Bibles, because I enjoy the different versions, study tools, and other features each one has. Some of the different features in this unique Bible is that it is a personal size, meaning that it is smaller and easier to carry around than a full size, this one that I am reviewing is paperback. Also in this Bible you will stunning Bible-land photos and graphics, new full color page design, in text maps and charts, cross-references with textual notes, word studies and indexes, Bible Times and Culture notes, book intros with outlines and timelines included, notes and so much more.

I found this little Bible full of features that will be awesome tools when studying the Bible, though its not so little, its about 2400 pages. The full color pages are beautiful and make reading more enjoyable. Each of the different features will amaze you. You really don't have to use each one every time you read the Bible but they are there for you when you need them. I love the maps being on the pages. Overall, this is a wonderful study Bible. There is also a hardcover of this Bible if you would rather have a larger one. Either one would be a great addition to your library.

*I received a complimentary copy of this Bible from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for my honest review.

When I saw that I had the opportunity to review this Bible I jumped at the chance. Having a copy of the hardback, I wanted to see how the paperback fared.

First, the colors are magnificent. They are vibrant, detailed, and not grainy at all. I found myself starring at them a lot. However, they were not so distracting that I lost my place while reading.

Another positive is the location of the notes. They are at the bottom which allows the text to flow with minimal interruption. The same goes for the word study notes which are mostly at the bottom as well. Both the text and study notes were in a great font type. This allowed for reading without straining.

What did surprise me as another positive was the introduction to each book. It really helps setup a great read for the upcoming texts and places the proper mindset into the reader.

The only drawback that I can see is the weight. This is a heavy study Bible, especially for a paperback. This should not pose a problem for study on a table or a desk. It will probably pose a problem for handheld reading.

Thus, I give this Bible a 4.5 star rating and suggest that if you are looking for a new study Bible and favor the New King James Version consider this Bible as a great option.

First, the disclaimer. "I was provided a free hardcover copy of this book. All opinions are my own." That done, the KNOW THE WORD STUDY BIBLE NKJV offers three different approaches to Bible study, as stated above. 1. Book by book, 2. Verse by verse, and 3. Topic by topic.

I usually study topic by topic for my own study, though sometimes it is verse by verse and the adult Sunday School class I'm in studies Book by book so this will be invaluable in all different areas of my study.

My preacher husband also expressed interest in this Bible. I found the study notes were good, but not as in-depth as some commentators, though that is to be expected since this is a Bible first and foremost. Book articles are scattered in the text and provide depth and insight to the topics included.

I like that the words of Jesus are in red, and the font is readable, which is good for older adults. Not tiny like in some Bibles. If you are looking for something that will replace Bibles and commentators and book study guides, this is not it. However, it is excellent as a basic study Bible no matter which way you prefer to study. Pastors and professors will likely find it in adequate for sermon or lesson preparation. Depending on the Sunday school teacher (and how deep they get) this might or might not be adequate. Excellent gift idea. Recommended.

This new edition of the New Kings James version Bible is aesthetically pleasing, true to the original NKJV text and full of additional truths and learning. What a marvelous idea this Bible presents as it focuses on different important words from the original Greek and Hebrew text.
Personally, I expected there to be about twice as many interesting words focused on. However, this Bible is still quite helpful especially for new believers and/or new Bible readers.

The NKJV Word Study Bible provides 1,700 easy-to-use word studies, in-text subheadings, select Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek words explained from Genesis to Revelation helping you dig deeper into your Bible study. By relying on these ancient texts we are able to read scripture as it was originally written and passed on from generation to generation, bringing these words to life allowing you to almost hear Jesus teaching on the hillside or crying out to God on the cross. As you study you will discover the richness and significance of the original languages of the Word of God and experience scripture in a whole new way.

Features Include:

• NKJV paragraph-style text with in-text subheadings and translators' notes

• Book introductions

• Words of Christ in red

• Word studies

• Indexes

• Concordance

The NKJV Apply The Word Study Bible promises it's readers to '"Live In His Steps"' and I confirm with all the extra's this book delivers. King James devotees will appreciate the study helps, there are numerous.
I noted right off hand a pretty large concordance included. This is an appealing feature because I always had to buy a separate concordance to meet my needs. The one included is sufficient. In the long run, this will save the buyer extra costs.
As I said before, the features are massive, there's way too many to list. I will list a few. Thomas Nelson guarantee's this Bible for life. Pretty awesome.
Every book in the Bible includes an introductory to prepare reader about the writer of the book and key lessons. Along with this added bonus, there are plenty of notes and sidebars to explain what you are reading with cross references. There are numerous tables, charts and maps. Buyers also receive a Download Guide Apply The Word . And if that is not enough there are videos and reading plans at the NKJV website.
I had the tremendous opportunity of reviewing the above for Book Look Bloggers in exchange for my views. I highly recommend this excellent resource.

The Apply the Word Study Bible written in the NKJV is a very easy Bible to begin a study in. I found that each page has a section devoted to adding little bits of knowledge that you can add into your reading. These sections are fantastic for diving deeper in the word and a great place to get a jump start for further study.
I also really liked that there are maps included in the book. We don't see that a lot any more with Bibles. I love to be able to look at them and see the correlation to modern areas as well.
I like that it is hard covered as well. This adds a bit of classiness to the book. I love the overall feel of this Bible, and I highly suggest it to anyone looking to further their spiritual walk through study.

I am reviewing the NKJV, Know the Word Study Bible, eBook, Red Letter Edition: Gain a Greater Understanding of the Bible Book by Book, Verse by Verse, or Topic by Topic by Thomas Nelson. This bible also comes in hardcover and paperback.

Whenever I am reviewing an ebook of the Bible I always check to see if the hyperlinks work. I tried several out and they all worked.

This bible has 3 approaches to studying the Bible: Book by Book, Verse by Verse, Topic by Topic. An example of the Topic by Topic is:

Trinity

Note 1: Trinity in Creation (Gen. 1:26–28)
Note 2: One in Three Persons (Deut. 6:4)
Note 3: God’s Triune Authority (Matt. 22:37–40)
Note 4: The Harmonious Trinity (John 16:12–15)
Note 5: The Triune God Saves (Gal. 4:1–7)

I like the Book by Book way myself. Each book of the Bible has a summary and a section on how to study that book. I always like the Verse by Verse method. The verses that are numbered in blue numbers are hyperlinked to an explanation or helpful information which are of course very helpful in a study bible.

I really like the NKJV, Know the Word Study Bible. It will be an excellent addition to my bible study library.

Yet another publication of God's Holy Word! Again, Thomas Nelson creates a new study Bible to help you delve deeper into God's word. This version is the New Kings James version which is known for its accuracy and closeness to the original Greek and Hebrew texts. This study Bible is full of notes and different options for study schedules. You will find three different suggestions for studying the entire Bible: Book by Book, Verse by verse, or Topic by Topic.

Personally, I found the study plans in this Bible a little hard to understand and follow. But once carefully looked at they make more sense. Also, the study notes weren't as deep as they could be. Lastly, many of the Bibles published by Thomas Nelson are hardcover with a dustjacket and I find that the dustcover gets ruined pretty quickly if one reads ones Bible daily! Just a point I thought of.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

I loved this Bible. As mentioned above, you have three choices on how to study this Bible. If you choose book-by-book you'll find a series of notes that lead you through the main points of each book of the Bible. If you choose verse-by-verse you will find notes that will help you dig deeper into God's word. Your third choice, is to study topic-by-topic. Throughout this Bible you will find topic-by-topic studies that cover 21 theological topics that will guide you through a series of insightful notes and give you a thorough biblical understanding of each topic.
This Bible is a red-letter edition with a concordance in the back as well as colored maps. It is easy to maneuver through and I would highly suggest it to anyone who would like a good Study Bible.

I would like to thank BookLook Bloggers for my copy of NKJV Know the Word Study Bible. I received my copy for free in order to give my honest review.

When the bible arrived I immediately explored the pages and passages and was very pleased with all the additional information provided. I found it easy to read and got more out of it with this information.

NEW attractive full-color page design
NEW stunning Bible-land photos and graphics
NEW in-text maps and charts
Full cross-references with textual notes
Word studies and indexes
Bible Times and Culture Notes
Book introductions, outlines, and timelines
Reader-friendly notes and articles ideal for extended study
Deluxe NKJV Concordance including proper names

It definitely makes reading the bible more interesting. It's a great study tool. The only thing I disliked is that it's hard cover and is heavy, it's not one I would carry with me to church or Sunday School.

I received a copy of this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I was very leery to buy this Bible for my kindle b/c of reviews. The biggest concern was being able to go to a certain book, or verse. I wanted to use this kindle bible in Sunday School & Church, but NOT if I had to read it cover to cover never knowing what book or verse I was reading. I finally purchased it, On my kindle I still haven’t found any red letter scriptures, but the introduction explains how to navigate through it. I can easily open up the table of contents, find what book I want to go to, then go to it, then scroll through to a certain verse. This was my biggest concern. It works well, bookmarks work well, notes & dictionary work well. So for everyone concerned with navigating the Bible through the kindle, this is the one for you, as I shared your concerns. Hope this review was helpful. God Bless.

I'm not a huge fan of NKJV, but liked the NKJV Word Study Bible, and think that this Bible would likely make a great addition to any seminary students bookshelf, or to the bookshelf of someone who wants to study the meaning behind certain words. It will not be replacing my regular study Bible, and I would not recommend it to anyone as a primary study Bible, but I am hopeful that it will be a helpful tool.

I received this Bible as a review copy from BookLook bloggers in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. You can read the entire review here: http://sydneyann.com/nkjv-word-study-...
