The NKJV Foundation Study Bible


The New King James Foundation Study Bible published by Thomas Nelson, is a valuable addition to anyone’s library or desk.  I opened to the book of Genesis and was impressed to see the clear type and frequent headings which make the text easy to read. It was easy to locate specific verses.  At the bottom of each page, study notes give explanations of the various topics on that page.  In my reading in Genesis, for example, Genesis 3:22 speaks of the tree of life in a perfect Eden. The reference at page bottom defines the tree of life, and sends you to Revelation 22:2 where we learn that this same tree that sustained Adam and Eve will be “planted anew” with its leaves used for the healing of nations. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s word is presented in an accessible format.  In addition, this Bible has many features to facilitate an efficient Bible study session. The words of Jesus are identified in red type.  A Theological Notes Index is a guide to particular topics such as “Knowing the will of God” or “Kindness.”  A Concordance directs you to germane verses, and Bible maps are also available.  Therefore, this KKJV Foundation Study Bible is ideal for individual devotions, but is also useful for in-depth study as one prepares for Bible teaching. I highly recommend this Bible.  It should become a valued addition to your reference bookshelf, and you’ll take it off that shelf frequently to nourish yourself with God’s holy word.  I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the words here are my own.
