Customer Reviews

Love my new bible!

The bible came exactly as described. Absolutely love it!

I absolutely love this Bible

I have always shied away from the NIV version. I was told that it was corrupt and incorrect and left out verses. After watching many of a video about this Bible and how it was dearly loved I had to buy it. I'm so thankful that I did. This Bible is truly amazing I love it. Update I love this Bible so much I ordered it in the leather-bound Edition. When I opened the package I was speechless it is absolutely beautiful it looks brand new simply stunning

Great Bible

I bought this bible to help study. It has great notes on side of pages. Plenty of space for note taking and references for different verses to connect things together. If you are looking for a Bible to study with this is a good pick. I would honestly suggest a hardback book if you are picky.

I wish I knew who it belonged to

I love this Bible . It came with notes and I wish it would of came with more notes. Till this day I think about it and just wish the seller would sell me another of her or his beautiful Bible with their notes 😔

I don't know, because I didn't receive it.

I didn't receive my copy of the Women Of Faith Bible, and it's already paid for. Please send me my copy. I don't think it is right that when I try to track the package it says that it was delivered. It was not delivered.

Love It!!!

I bought this Bible about 3 years ago and I love it! It is wonderful. This past year I did all the studies included in the Bible, they really helped me through a hard time. I was delighted to learn that there is a Young Women of Faith Bible. I bought it for my daughter, I love that the study guides go together in the two Bibles.

a gem in the sea of women-themed bibles

I decided to expand my bible resources to include a women' thematic bible, for although I am a wife and mother, it wasn't an area that I fed (being that I chose to look at leadership-themed sources to develop my personal accountability skills). I purchased several bibles, including "Woman, Thou Art Loosed", "the Women's Life Bible" (both NKJV ) and the NIV Women's Devotional bible. Although I have not attended a Women of Faith rally, I chose to keep this bible (and give away the aforementioned women's bibles to other Christian sisters) because:1)even-handed notation. It struck me how culturally sensitive the notes were, which helped me think back to those times 1000s of years ago. These opened my eyes to embrace many issues.2)no glib/rote responses to complex life issues. The other bibles attempted to do that, and while such notation may offer comfort to some, they don't work well for me. For example, I don't want a short paragraph to understand that our Lord wants me to be patient in my marriage. This bible does not offer patronizing and "Precious Moments"-type cutsey notes. Subjects like patience for marriage are supported throughout the bible via different wife stories, and are delved upon in the notations, which I much rather preferred.3)sober looks at women in the bible, from the famous, like Mary, to the not so famous like Jael. Also, the explanations of the women in Jesus' line are equally even-handed.All in all, its the best women's themed study bible that I have come across yet. It is spiritually, emotionally and mentally inspiring.Note of criticism: the concordance/topical index is sparse for a study bible, especially since the notations throughout are so good and thoughtful.

Excellent bible

I am glad I got this Bible. Every thing about it is purple. I got the bonded leather. It has a purple cover, print and ribbon. The layout is interesting. On the outside of the page is the comments, the next section is the text of the NIV and on the inner part of the page towards the centre binding are the cross-references. Because the comments are not always long, there are sections under the comments where you can write notes of your own if you want to....spaces are often 3 inches wide by 4-5 inches high. The profiles are excellent, and the comments are spot-on. If you want a doctrine type bible this isn't what you want, but if you want the text to be applicable to you then get it. The 52 weeks studies are both practible and informative. I like the personal touch this bible has for women. There are thought-provoking notes, studies and profiles that make you think about your life in Christ and how you can be better. It is just so woman-oriented that I just want to go back time and again to read the Word of God. You will enjoy it I'm sure.

Fantastic!

For someone who owns a zillion Bibles (me!), this bible was a pleasant surprise. It is beautifully presented in a lovely violet print. And the content has been thoughtfully arranged for the reader to get the most out of every page. The Book Introductions and Study Notes are insightful in a way only a woman would appreciate! For instance, I really enjoyed the comparison of God the Creator in Genesis 1 to a woman bringing order to her household. This work is sprinkled with fresh insights throughout. The 80 Character Sketches of Women in the Bible far outweigh the cost of "another" Bible and to top it off this work presents 52 Bible Studies that are rich with originality and worth every moment of your time to complete. The Book also includes Quotes from all sorts of women including the fantastic Women of Faith conference speakers.And, yes, there are the requisite concordance, maps and column reference system. Because I love to take copious notes I found the wide margins especially appealing. Frankly I have not found one thing in or about this Bible that displeases me. I shall enjoy ruminating about its pages for months to come! In case you aren't sold on this book yet, you should know that a portion of the purchase price goes to International Bible Society to help spread the gospel of Jesus around the world...AMEN!!!!
