Study Bibles

 

Recommended Study Bible:

The Life Application Study Bible has thousands of notes that help apply the text to a person’s everyday life. It is fun to read, and easy to understand.  This Bible is perfect for individual study and reading, and for using in a small group.  The Life Application Study Bible comes in a number of different translations, and we especially recommend the NLT (New Living Translation).
