Product Information

Remember, a good study Bible is meant to supplement and enhance your understanding of God’s Word. Some good features to look for include a concordance, Scripture references, maps and timelines, and commentaries. Plus, this women’s Bible study can be used with any Bible translation you prefer, whether NIV, ESV, KJV, NKJV, or anything else. Do you want a study Bible that includes helpful reading plans throughout it, to help you read through the Bible more? There are so many study Bibles on the market, how do you know which one is right for you? What should you look for when purchasing a study bible? From the publisher: “You CAN Read the Bible in a Year. When Diane Stortz was invited to join a study to read the whole Bible in a year, she went for it. Now, more than ten years later, she still reads through the Bible every year with a group of friends. So gather your Bible and a few good friends and start your own journey, or go for it on your own. With week-by-week reading plans, easy-to-use reference material, and stories of encouragement from women like you, A Woman’s Guide to Reading the Bible in a Year is the perfect companion for this life-changing practice.”

Designed as a verse-by-verse 7-week daily Bible study of John chapters 13-17 (as well as portions of 18-21), this study can be done either with a group or individually. It’s thought-provoking, in-depth, honest, and it will help Jesus’s last words come to life in a real and powerful way! It is worthy to note that a reference bible is different from a study bible. A reference bible has been defined as one in which brief explanations, and references to parallel passages, are printed in the margin of the text, reference bibles provide cross referencing and reproduces the exact bible text without articles, study notes or book introductions. If you are looking for a Bible without commentary showing someones interpretation of the meaning then a reference Bible may be ideal for you. Timelines are great because they give you an idea of what was happening in the history of the world when a certain book of the Bible was written. Many study Bibles include timelines because they give us a deeper understanding of the historical context of the book of the Bible. So I decided… It’s time to do some research. No more of these fluffy devotionals. I need to find the BEST Bible studies for women— Bible studies that truly dive deep, teach Scripture, and have the potential to make a real impact. Bright, joyful and fast companion in your Daily Study! Despite many features it's very easy to use, works offline and free!Book studies, on the other hand, take readers through one specific book (or part of a book) of Scripture, drawing conclusions from each verse or passage. While these may or may not deal with one specific topic (so they can feel a bit scattered), these Bible studies do a great job of explaining the passages in their appropriate context.

Everyday Matters Bible for Women: New Living Translation, Practical Encouragement to Make Every Day Matter Morning and Evening Daily Devotionals by C. H. Spurgeon - the classic collection of daily devotional from the eminently quotable preacher!Here are some of the key features that study Bibles ( especially those for women) have to help you understand the Bible better!

Whether that means simply learning how to read the Bible every day, or you actually take the time to dive in deep and learn how to study the Bible, I’m a huge believer in making daily Bible study a priority. These commentaries are written by biblical scholars who can shed more light on Bible passages that might need a bit more explanation. We can approach commentaries as helpful tools and resources to help us better understand Scripture.

I love using study Bibles to go deeper in my Bible study and to really get a better understanding of God’s Word. Here are some of the unique features of a study Bible that you will not find in regular Bibles or devotional Bibles. Detailed Books of the Bible SummariesTara-Leigh Coble, host of the popular Bible Recap podcast, has put together a Bible study guide called “ The Bible Recap” that will help anyone that has ever read the Bible and then thought, “What did I just read?” Thought-for-thought translations focus on the meaning intended by the text using language we can understand today. They are often easier to read but do rely on translators making interpretive decisions for you. Many do an excellent job of this but it is something to keep in mind. Popular thought-for-thought translations are: New Living Translation (NLT), Christian Standard Bible (CSB), or the Good News Translation (GNT) One of the best types of studies to start with is a comprehensive “Whole Bible” type study that will walk you through the major events and themes of the Bible as a whole. Personally, I find that studying and understanding individual pieces of the Bible is much easier once you have a good grasp of the outline of the Bible as a whole.
