Welcome to the channel and thank you! While this is "technically" my channel I do not claim it. It's Yahweh's channel. I let Him lead in all and He gets ALL the glory! On this channel I do Bible reviews, Bible giveaways, and talk about anything He presses upon me. If you enjoy this kind of content then this is the channel for you.
Hi Michelle! I have this same Study Bible. Mine also was printed in Italy, fifth printing - January 2021, and I purchased mine in October 2021 from Books A Million. I have to say I paid too much for mine, because after I purchased it, I kept seeing it for a cheaper price. I think I paid $42 for it! I just pulled mine out after seeing you did a Review on it. It is such an attractive Study Bible! You did a Great Review! 🤓
Good Review Michelle! I purchased this Study Bible in 2022 in the NRSV Translation in hardcover. I love the cover of yours, This Study Bible is very well put together, and I plan to spend more time in it this year. Looking forward to more of your Bible Reviews! ❤👩
Thank you for your review (Love from 🇮🇳India) Assam. I am born in a hindu family but i went to a missionary school and always read 📖bible since my childhood. I just bought it from Amazon after seeing your review. Thank you😊
I own a copyright 1965 Halley's Bible handbook. The older versions of it, such as the one I own is more trustworthy, more comprehensive, and controversial subject matter has not been edited to make it more tolerable to the contemporary worldview. The church history section which begins on page 737 has been edited or many subjects deleted such as the muslim, or the Jesuits and the Roman Catholic Church. Church history tells of the reformation and the reasons for it. Check your copy to see. Just like modern versions of the bible, the handbook has been altered to make it more viable for the coming world church.
I wanted to say thank you for doing this. My church is doing this as a church Sunday School class. Unfortunately I am dyslexic some reading to myself is challenging, so I use Audiobooks to help me read or it will take me twice as long to get through the week study and there is only 7 days in the week. I also like your personal inputs. makes it light and interactive. Thank you
Spine: Sewn is in the description, but it does not say smythe sewn which is the best binding, i cannot find it in genuine leather but the imitation leather is still very nice
This Bible is the first study bible Max Lucado did, if you have any of Max’s other study bibles that came later on you can see where the format originated. The “Lucado Life Lessons” bible is the same format (but is designed with very nice colours), the “Inspirational” study bible features short quotes on the left or right hand side from other Christian authors like Billy Graham, Charles Swindoll etc whereas the Lucado version only has quotes from Max’s books etc… I have both and they are definitely amazing and worth having. When this bible was first released I don’t think any study bibles even existed, so it really was a first… now every Christian author has a study bible 😊
One thing that I find to be amazing is that God is more concerned about the missionary than the mission. The development of character includes developing a strong relationship with God. Jesus gave a new commandment - To love one another as I have loved you. We cannot serve without first experiencing His love on a regular basis. The quiet place with Jesus is the best place to be... Thank you for sharing this study and sharing your thoughts sister. God bless you!
@@savedbygrace463 appreciate your response🙏, i’m currently in conversion to catholic and still have no idea how to differentiate which bible is for catholic and christian 😅
@@fermicarusYou said that you are converting to Catholicism, but you should research the difference between Protestants and Catholics. Catholics believe in a "works based salvation" which is unbiblical. Protestants believe we are saved by "the grace of Jesus Christ alone" and that no good deeds, or works, can get you into Heaven. Read Ephesians 2:8-9 and really delve deep. God bless you and draw you near to Him.
@@fermicarusYou should also check out pastors like Paul Washer, Ray Comfort, Steven Lawson, John MacArthur, and R.C. Sproul. Look up ministries like Living Waters, Wretched, Ligonier, and Grace to You. You'll enjoy them greatly.

I have this Illustrated Study Bible in paperback -- not realizing when I got it that it was the one you are Reviewing! It is the exact same inside. What attracted me to it was the cover of the paperback and the thickness of it. I got it from Guideposts. I'm really impressed! I purchased it along with The Prayer Bible in paperback. And, the Prayer Bible NLT is great too! I'm so impressed with both of these paperbacks that I think I'll even get tabs for them both. Thank you for this Review ~ Maybe your Review is what really got me excited, because the paperback is exactly the same content -- even the Maps! Blessings to your Michelle ~ 🤗❤
I'm so excited to read this! The 2 Bibles are amazing and beautiful. I believe you will love them. Btw I get some of my bubbles from guidepost as well 😊.

@@savedbygrace463 - So glad to know you've received Bibles from Guideposts. It was my first order from them. I saw the Prayer Bible reviewed by my Sis on FFT Ministries which is why I went to Guideposts in the first place (smiles). Thanks for responding back Michelle!
Love this Review! I have this Bible in the hardcover, and purchased it in 2021. And you are right-- it reminds me of the "She Reads Truth Bible" too. I'm going to make it a point to use this Bible for the SOAP Method. Just wondering if you have been using this Bible for your studies? Blessings 🙋🏽♀️
This video is very helpful. It will be interesting to see what the new version looks like next year. I saw online at a Christian bookstore that a newer version of this Open Bible will be available on 28 Jan 2025. There will be 128 more pages, but I don't have any information about what the changes will be. I'm torn between getting one now, or waiting for the newer edition. The font is still 9 point comfort print according to the details. ++Update: I just bought the current edition! Amazon dropped the price very recently from $38 to about $27.
@@savedbygrace463 It looks like it is just under 6.5" tall x 4.25" wide x 1.25" thick (see your video at 3:25). On the web it says it is 8 point font (and you say so at 5:40).
