New Inductive Study Bible-NASB

Years ago, I had a Bible that was in single columns, rather than the double ones that have dominated the format for decades. I'm amazed that this happened, but I think I left it at a conference. I wasn't able to get another one like it and had to settle for second best.Recently, I felt that I needed to get a new Bible. (I was borrowing one from the church.) I wasn't sure which translation would suit me the best. I'd used the NIV since the mid-1980s, but felt I needed a change. I did some research online to learn more about the available translations. Then I found a website that would send me a verse everyday in the translation almost of my choice. I decided to see what the NASB was like. The New American Standard was considered to be very accurate in the 1970-80s, but it was so literal that it was difficult to read. The newer version removed that awkwardness.After several weeks of daily Bible verses, I decided to get the NASB. I'm enjoying it very much. I still remember much of the NIV, and so it's interesting to be able to compare that translation with the one that I'm now reading.There are enough Bible websites to enable you to sample various versions. If you're thinking about getting a new Bible, then I recommend that you visit a few of those sites and compare what is available. If you decide on the NASB and you want the single column format, then you'll be very pleased with this one.One thing that might put you off is that it has American spellings. That doesn't bother me because I grew up in the States. :)

If you are studying a precept course (which I am) then this really is a must have book. Each book has its own "At a glance" chart to fill in, theres planty of space in the margins to write notes and its full off much needed and interesing facts on each book and on the people and history etc, There is word studies and maps and explanations on all aspects of the precept study courses. I have found it extremely useful and invaluable.

This is a fantastic bible. It has really helped me to get into the word of God in a new and different way. There are full instructions at the start about how to use it and carry out an inductive study and more instructions at the start of each book to help you study the book specificaly.

I am delighted with this new Bible. It is enabling me to do in depth study and to reflect fully on what I am reading. I strongly recommend it to anybody who is serious about Bible study.

The bible has been produced for those who want to study in depth and to a tried and tested format. I would strongly recommend it to the person, new to the Christian faith or who simply want to know more and develop their faith.
