NIV Women of Faith Study Bible Review

NIV Women of Faith
Study Bible
by Jean E. Syswerda

I saw the NIV Women of Faith Study Bible at a local religious bookstore. I wasn’t looking for a Bible, but this Bible caught my eye. I thumbed through the Bible and found it very interesting. I bought this Bible about 7 years ago and I love it! Not only was it a women’s study bible, but it was a New International Version (NIV). One of my favorite translations is the NIV.

My Viewpoint
I’ve found the NIV Women of Faith Study Bible to be very informative and enlightening. I love the study notes on the side of the Scriptures. It helps you learn as you read with easy to follow notes. It points out how women were treated and how it has affected our lives today. I love the character sketches of the women from each book of the Old and New Testaments. You can relate to how they were possibly feeling back then.

The NIV Women of Faith Study Bible is the best women’s themed study Bible that I’ve read or have come across. It is spiritually, emotionally, and mentally inspiring. This is a wonderful Bible for reading and studying. This study Bible is perfect for women who want to learn more from the Bible. There are useful side notes for most of the chapters that help one to understand and truly get to the meaning of God's word. This Bible has made my personal Bible study much more meaningful.

I highly recommend NIV Women of Faith Study Bible for women who like to have a women’s perspective concerning God’s will for their life. This Bible would be great for women who have or are involved with women ministries. I give it 5 stars!
