Which study Bible / devotional should I buy?

I would like a study Bible with good insights, explanations, and life applications. I'm leaning toward "Discover God Study Bible: New Living Translation," but all I have to go by is the cover since you can't preview it on Amazon and the bookstore has it in plastic wrap. If anyone has information on this one or can recommend something else, I'd be very grateful.

Which study Bible / devotional should I buy?
The Life Application Bible, (most versions), is the best I have seen!





I would NOT go with the NLT. I would recommend the NASB (Revised) version.

Reply:Check out www.bible.com, or www.bible gateway.
Reply:You might even like an on-line (free) daily devotional and "read through the Bible in a year" plan at "Today's Bible". The devotionals are commentary summaries of the daily Bible readings.
Reply:If you want a study bible, I'll recommend NIV (New International Version).


For daily devotional, why buy it when you can get it free? Get the "Our Daily Bread" from RBC Ministries. They'll deliver it to your door free of any charge. The content is rich, practical, and also provides you with bible passages to read and think about.


But if you want to buy 1, I'll recommend "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers. It's a best seller for daily devotional.
Reply:I recommend a New International Version (NIV). It's a popular translation so you'll be able to find several different devotionals or study guides. Pick the one that appeals to you with an NIV.





Bottom line -- Find a reliable translation then select a meaningful study tool for you that is organized around that translation. It's the only way you'll get to study in a beneficial way with a reliable bible you can read and know is accurate.
Reply:The Jerusalem Bible is by far the best and most up-to-date as far as translational accuracy. I dunno if they have study guides or devotionals that come with it.
Reply:I recommend the English Standard Version of the Reformation Study Bible. It is a very literal translation and has great study notes and references.





Here it is at Amazon:

I agree with others that the NLT should be avoided. It insults the reader's intelligence.
Reply:I did a study on translations to see what was best. here is the end result:
