NIV Essentials Study Bible Review

An awesome new Study Bible that I was able to have the chance to review is the NIV Essentials Study Bible. While I enjoy the 1984 edition of the NIV, this Bible is still wonderful. It has the complete text of the 2011 NIV along with all the best features of so many great resources like notes from the NIV Study Bible; book introductions from Essential Bible Companion; notes from the NIV Archaeological Study Bible and so much more. I’ve been looking for a new Study Bible, not that I don’t love my ESV Study Bible, but it’s really bulky and heavy to carry to Bible Study, and this one is as heavy and bulky but has a lot of awesome info.

I love that there are so many different options to look at and read the Scriptures and this Bible helps you get the most out of studying God’s Word. It would be awesome for anyone to add to their Bible Study helps.
