The NKJV Study Bible is an amazing resource for those who
want to really dig deep into the word of God. Before I get to what all is
inside this study, I wanted to first say that I liked how well bound this bible
is. I am one of these people who take the cover off my book and never really
put it back on. I really like the look and feel of the book itself and this one
has a really nice reddish brown hard back cover, pages that are thin, but
durable, and a beautiful ribbon to mark your reading place. I was a little concerned
that the font would be too small, as I’ve seen in other studies of this size,
but it is easy to read. My own real complaint is I wish there was some room for
note taking within the margins. The space that is available is very minimal, with
that being said though that small nuance does not take away from the vivid and colorful
maps, illustrations and other charts and graphs that are contained within these
pages.
There is so much packed into this study. Within these pages
you have sections devoted to bible times and culture notes that give you
greater insight into objects, rituals, locations and architecture background
and meanings. You also get in-text maps, charts and diagrams that give you a
visual image of the travels people took, and the lay out of the lands during
biblical times. At the beginning of each book you get an outline and commentary
about the book and what major events were taking place.
Of course, with any good bible study you have a subject
index, word study, cross reference, special abbreviation section, concordance
and articles. What I personally enjoyed
about this bible study though was the inclusion of prophesies already fulfilled
with the coming of Christ. I found that section really inspiring and it helped
to really open my eyes to how many Old Testament prophecies Christ really did fulfill.
Seeing them laid out in such an easy to understand manner though really resonated
with me. The authors did a great job stating the prophetic message, the subject
of the message and how it was fulfilled in a tangible way. They then followed
up with the miracles of Christ, prayers of the Bible, and parables of Christ to
tie everything together for the reader.
I can easily recommend this study for those that need guidance
on how to dig into the word of God, weather you be a newbie or just looking for
some new techniques tis book offers plenty of advice, tips and tricks to get
the most out of your time with God. The very first pages of this study have a
great article that is helpful in breaking down your study time without being
overwhelming.
