I have found the NASB Study Bible that you’ve always wished someone would publish. 

The Zondervan NASB Study Bible is hands down the most comprehensive, up-to-date study Bible available in the New American Standard Bible translation.  This NASB Study Bible is like having a complete resource library at your fingertips!     

At the heart of the Zondervan NASB study Bible is its abundance of  in-text study notes.  Over 20,000 notes, adapted from the best-selling NIV Study Bible, draw on today’s leading experts to provide valuable commentary right where you need it.  I have found this is by far the most complete, detailed set of study notes available today for the New American Standard Bible.   

Simply put, if you’re an NASB lover, this is the study Bible you’ve been waiting for.  Contemporary.   Exhaustive beyond description.  Easy to use and remarkably practical.

Lacking Time to Read Your Bible

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Do you find yourself running out of time to read your Bible? I have found that the Audio Bibles really help me solve that problem. As I’m driving down the road I just pop a CD in my CD player. I enjoy the New King James Version narrated by Stephen Johnson, but there are many other narrators. The readings are word-for-word as in the written Bible.

Why not enjoy hearing the Bible while you are on the go? Using the New King James Version is faithful to the accuracy and beauty of the King James Version. Hearing the New King James Version in the contemporary and understandable language will feed your soul with spiritual food no matter when or where you listen to God’s Word.

Feeling tired and need refreshment? God’s word in the New King James Version narration will refresh you as you listen and unwind from a hectic day.

Easy to Read Relavent for Today

Sunday, July 20, 2008

the-new-living-bible-autoresizeimg.png

With some translations, it is hard to understand what the message is, but it is not with the New Living Translation. The last time that I was studying the New Living Translation, I forgot that I was reading the Bible because it sounded to me as if some one was telling me a story in today’s language.

Another reason that I appreciate the New Living Bible is that, when I am online with the daily devotional, I stay on track with God’s Word as it feeds my soul with the Bread of Life.

I appreciate the New Living Bible because this translation speaks to me in my language. The translators that worked on this fresh and inviting Bible not only have been faithful to original texts, but they have brought the Living Word of God to us in yours and my language as we remember the poetry and power of the Scriptures from our childhood. As I read the New Living Translation, I find God as my Friend.

The Message is the Word of God

Wednesday, July 09, 2008

niv-message-bible0310937124.jpg

The MESSAGE is a reading Bible. Read It in order to live, praying as you read, “God guide me as I read and may your will be done.”

Reading is the first thing, just read the Message Bible like a book. Listening to God from the Message as we read is the most important thing! As we read, and the longer we read, we begin to “get it” –we are in conversation with God. We find ourselves listening and answering in matters that most concern us: who we are, where we came from, where we are going what makes us tick, the texture of the world and the communities we live in, –most of all–the incredible love of God among us, doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.

As we read the Message we come to realize the the focus of the Bible has to do with what God is doing in a saving love that includes us and everything that we do. The Bible begins with God speaking creation and us into being. It continues with God entering into personalized and complex relationships with us, and helping and blessing us, teaching and training us, correcting and disciplining us, loving and saving us. We also find that there is a connection between the Word Read and the Word Lived.

The Message is the Bible to read, to listen to and obey God.
