Summary: Finally, the Bible makes sense!
Comment: First of all, one needs to realize there are two components to this version of the bible. The first is its translation, The New Living Translation. The second is the "Life Application" part, which has been paired with other translations too. This translation is available without the study notes, but I wouldn't recommend a straight text-only bible to anyone other than a bible scholar. We need help understanding the book and how to read it. It's not like reading a novel!
This bible is an extremely effective study bible. The study notes are thorough and cover a broad array of angles on the text. Many maps, character profiles, and other in-text tools in the Life Application version make background information instantly available without purchasing separate study books.
The New Living Translation was put together by over 100 world-class scholars, unlike The Living Bible. So if you are a bit confused by the translation title, wondering if it's just like the latter (which was just one person's paraphrased version), you need not fret: it is not. The amount of research and scholarship put into this translation is amazing. The only similarity is the ease of understanding.
To try to put direct English translation on the original Greek and Hebrew text is detrimental to its meaning; everyone knows that one cannot accurately translate any language if insisting on such a method. (Just watch poorly subtitled foreign films if you need an example!) What these scholars have thus done is provide us with a translation that actually makes sense in our day and time and current language. (Remember, that's why the King James Version came out when it did--so everyday people could read and understand the bible too, not just the elite few who understood Latin.)
It is also inaccurate to read the Bible at face value and ignore the cultural, historical, and literary contexts of its passages. This bible gives explanation to each of those, as well as concepts upon which to meditate, helping us to apply what we've read to our own lives and hearts.
Combining an eighth-grade reading level with doctoral scholarship and research, this bible is accessible and appropriate for all people. It has changed my life and the lives of many, many others I know. I recommend it to everyone!

Summary: Life Application Study Bible
Comment: This is the best Bible I have read and the best Bible I have owned. It is so easy to read and understand because its written in plain English. I love the statistics, the blueprint, the megathemes as well as the key places described at the beginning of each book in the Bible -- it adds so much clarity to the theme of each book. The profiles of the people in the Bible are great; they help me understand who was whom and what their role was. The notes at the bottom of each page add so much clarity to the scriptures on each page. I can't say enough good things about this book!I wholeheartedly recommend this book to every new Christian or to anyone who just wants to learn what the Bible is really about -- it "speaks" clearly, especially to those who know nothing about the Bible, but want to know. I find it very hard to stop reading it; it simply wants to keep on talking to me! This book has helped me tremendously in my quest for information, both for personal use and for academic references. Simply the GREATEST book I've read!

Summary: Make this book part of your life
Comment: This bible has really changed my life.. really. I could never get into a biblical text like this one. It is easy to read, and does a great job of explaining itself and the meaning of each passage for our lives. People complain about the Bible being difficult to understand, not applying to them, etc... I want them to READ THIS BOOK. It will strenghten your life .. better than any self-help book on the market.
