Book Review - The Woman's Study Bible




ABOUT THIS BIBLE:

The Woman’s Study Bible is a priceless treasure, poignantly revealing the Word of God to a woman’s heart. With special notes and features appealing to women's interests, highlighting women throughout Scripture, and capturing the unique ways Christ cared for women, this Bible truly speaks to a woman's heart. Now with a fresh, new look and available in the New International Version® (NIV) for the first time, The Woman’s Study Bible is more relevant to today’s women than ever before!

MY REVIEW:

I don't know if I have enough words to tell you how much I love this Bible!! I absolutely love it!! It is my new favorite and I use it all the time now.

First of all, it's gorgeous! Put together with a woman's heart in mind. I love the first few pages where you can fill in your marriage information, special family memories, and a page where you can list your spiritual mothers! How unique yet wonderful! 

Then we come to the Bible itself. There are wonderful articles that are just packed with inspiration and information! These articles are written by godly women that we can trust have a clear and biblical view. These authors include Anne Graham Lotz and Nancy Leigh DeMoss.I have never seen this in a Bible before and I love it! I also really like that at the beginning of each book, there is an information page(s) about the book itself, who authored it, the background and special notes about the book. It was easy to read and understand and help as you study that book of the Bible. 

Then there are, what I call, the special notes throughout the Bible. These range from biographies about people in the Bible to charts comparing Law and Grace, Judgements in the New Testament and more! Anything and everything you could ever want to know is in this Bible. There are also inspiration quotations by women like Nancie Carmichael, Helen Keller and Carol Kent. These quotations are exactly what they say - inspirational! They will lift your spirits and help you to keep your eyes on the Lord.

Not only that, it's a study Bible so at the bottom of each page are the study notes for the page that you're reading. Again, they are clear, easy to understand and concise. If you don't understand exactly what you're reading, the study notes will help you to grasp what is being said so you can apply it and understand it in your heart. Plus, the maps. I'm a real map girl and I love when a Bible has wonderful maps in the back that are easy to read and give a lot of information on them. As I study, I like to see the areas of the world or the paths that the people took. Want to know what Abraham's route was as he traveled from his home to where God led him? It's there. All the maps are like this and I find this incredibly helpful.

I highly, highly recommend this Bible! It's so packed with study aides, information and inspiration to touch a woman's heart. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!
