The three biggest obstacles to reading and understanding the Bible have met their match in The Student Bible. Developed by best-selling authors Phillip Yancey and Tim Stafford, this Gold Medallion Award-winning Bible makes it easy for students to uncover the treasures of God's Word. You'll enjoy reading The Student Bible -- so much, in fact, that daily reading will become a habit. That's because of three unique features, thoughtfully designed to help you get more out of your Bible than you've ever gotten before. Now you can:<br/>1-Understand what you read. Easy-to-spot, in-text Insights and Highlights explain difficult verses, point out important facts, and encourage reflection. Profiles introduce you to "100 People You Should Know." <br/>2-Find what you're looking for. "The Where to Find It" reference section contains a wealth of instant information and speedy referencing, including an extensive Subject Guide complete with definitions, an index to the character profiles, an Overview of Biblical Events, Notable Psalms, A Lineup of Rulers, and more. 3-Make real progress. The 3-Track reading program makes the Bible easier to manage. Track 1 is a 2-week survey for new Bible readers. Track 2 gives a 6-month overview. Track 3 takes you through the whole Bible in 5-to-10 minute daily readings. <br/>Plus, this edition of The Student Bible contains the updated New American Standard Bible -- today's most literal word-for-word translation.
