This is an excellent resource for those wishing to start a system of Bible study. The language of the NIV is very easy to understand. The Sudent Bible also offers study helps that range from looking at one verse of scripture to longer study topics. It also provides you with a bible reading guide. I would say that this Bible is more geared for the average lay-man or beginning student than a deep theologian, but it is a wonderful Bible.
My everyday Bible. It has been dragged hither and yon, looks like crap but is still the first ible I go to. It feels the most comfortable to hold and use. I put "cheater tabs" on it long ago to make finding certain books easier.
I love this bible. The notes for selected verses provide interesting and insightful information. My only complaint is that the words of Jesus aren't in red letters.
This book is all over the place. A casual reader's nightmare.
I gave it two stars for the effort.

I have some problems with the NIV, but this was a freebie.
I love the Bible!!!!! I've had my copy since 2002, and it's great!
Has questions and explanations in sidebars.
