I had the opportunity to review The Wiersbe Study Bible (New James Version). This Bible is loaded with great resources! First, you need to know that this IS a study Bible. Therefore, it's not light, and not one that you would tend to carry around with you!
This Bible features Dr. Weirsbe's introductions to each book, an amazing concordance (!), preaching outlines, cross references, red letters (cue the David Crowder song), 7800 verse notes (you know, the "insight" at the bottom of the page!), along with wisdom from Dr. Wiersbe.
The Wiersbe Study Bible is a great tool to have for your personal study Bible! I enjoyed the commentary, and especially the detailed concordance in the back of the Bible. Each book of the Bible has a "Book Outline" which shares a little about each topic. Then there is a "Book Overview" offering insight on the book. Finally there is a "Be Transformed" section, which is a challenge for the reader.
One thing I really liked about this Bible was the font size and print. It IS readable! (Cheaters only needed for the fine print of verse cross references.)
The Wiersbe Study Bible would also be a great reference for Pastors and Layleaders. However, I'm not so qualified to speak on that, so I'll just say that I found it as a great tool for those not in full time ministry! I love the subtitle too: Be Transformed by the Power of God's Word! We know that the Bible is sharper than a two edged sword. It does have power. This is a great way to get into God's Word!
I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review! Which I was happy to do!
