Book Review- The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible

Let's be honest...no, I didn't read the whole Bible to write a review. Actually, the publisher, Thomas Nelson and its BookSneeze program, only suggest that a blogger read one book of the Bible prior to writing a review.

The Lucado Life Lesson Study Bible is more of an inspirational thought Bible than what is often thought of as a "study Bible". There is lots of information provided to assist the reader but not extensive study notes for the purpose of cross-referencing. This Bible might be good for new believers (and seems to be targeted toward new believers) as it contains "Life Lessons" notes that coincide with numerous Scripture references. Each "Life Lesson" is made up of the following sections: situation; observation; inspiration; application and exploration which could be used for personal Bible study.

This study Bible uses the New King James Version for its text. The text is a traditional black font but additional notes, boxes and highlighted areas are shaded with mauve coloring. Some might like that; me, not so much.

I reviewed this Bible in conjunction with Thomas Nelson's BookSneeze program, was not compensated for this review and the opinions expressed are solely mine.
