This is a great Bible if you want an in-depth Study Bible. I recommend it highly. I have other study Bibles and I am very impressed with this one. It will be my main Study Bible.

I have a number of bibles and this is the one that I turn to them most. The various study notes, profiles, and other features really help to explain things. They also help me to stop and think about how the scriptures relate to my every day life. I definately recommend it.

The Life Application Bible from Tyndale House publishers is one of the best Bibles I have read. It has a timeline showing the chronology of Bible events along with important world events. This allows you to understand how the Biblical events fits in the World history.

Each book of the Bible has a book introduction with Vital statistics that describes the purpose of the book, author, historical setting, key verses, key people and a blueprint which gives a summary of the book. There is a map in the beginning of each book, showing the key places of events in the book. Also you will find character studies of different Biblical characters like Moses, David,etc. All over the Bible there are foot notes throwing more light into the verses. At the end of the Bible, there is an index to the notes and there are few colour maps. A carefully organized cross-reference runs along the margins of the Bible text.

I find this Bible easy to read without straining the eyes, with large clear print. Also the foot notes are not disturbing when you want to skip them and focus on the Biblical text. This Bible is little heavier than the slimline version. But the clear, easy to read text and the notes definitely outweighs the weight.
