Reader Reviews
At 28 I have tried to read the bible many times during my life -- I've tried KJV and Living Bible and even NIV -- but simply reading verse after verse without ever really understanding what it meant or how it was applicable in my life, I ended up giving up. And then I'd try again months or years later, and give up again. I'm going through a challenging time in my life right now and decided that perhaps this is God's way of bringing me closer to him -- so I set out to buy a bible using something that wasn't available the last time I thought about bible reading... Amazon.com. After reading about the umpteen different bibles available I finally settled on the NIV Quest Study Bible in leather binding. I made the right decision. This is the first time that I read and understand what I'm reading. The explanations and questions and answers it offers are invaluable to me in my journey to become a better Christian by reading the bible. I am using the two-week "bible highlights" study plans it offers right now, and I actually look forward to my daily twenty minute bible reading sessions! This bible is going to be the gift I give to all my loved ones from now on. I highly recommend it. It could very well change your life -- it is already changing mine. God bless.
