The Everyday Life Bible: The Power of God's Word for Everyday Living

I have always been picky about the Bible I choose, but I took a chance and I am so very glad I did!! I LOVE this Bible. Joyce has some powerful points in here that have changed the way I study. It is so easy to understand and well worth the money. My husband has a tough time with the old KJV but this one he loves.

I must say that if your one that enjoys reading plain english, this is the Bible for you! Moreover if you’re one that is digging into the word of God for direction, guidance, instruction, outside of what your pastor is messaging to you, this is the bible you want to get your fingers on!I enjoy my sunday service & the messages, fellowship of my church. But when im struggling with things in my life, that doesn’t answer those questions that i get. When i turn to the wvryday study bible, look up, guilt, condemnation, forgiveness, it has a list of verses you can look up yourself & let God actually give you the answers you or anyone around you could. It’s like having a pastor at my fingertips. I look at is my direct line to God! When i have a struggle inside about temptation, i look up what verses it suggests i read & pray about. Let God speak to me.It seriously helps you learn the word & know the word, as well as guide me by HIS will, not mine!

I love this bible!! The chapters don't have the little phrase in between each chapter. I like that, because with this bible I'll be able to more fully concentrate on the words.The notes and commentary from Ms. Joyce are very well put throughout the bible. Next year, I'm going to read the Bible every day. With the comments so well placed, I'll be able to read one all the time!This is the Amplified translation, which I've never read before. The little bits that I've read so far are nice and pleasing to read.The only complaint that I have is the gilding sometimes puts pages together. Really easy fix though. Just takes time.I've read other reviews saying the pages are too thin. I don't think they are. If you be patient and gentle with turning, you'll be able to notice how nice the pages feel.Overall, this bible is very much worth it!

Since coming across the Amplified Bible about a decade ago in a Christian Bookstore in Sydney, Australia, I have always included the Amplified version amongst my favourite Bibles. Though a little harder to read (especially aloud), due to the system of brackets and parentheses in which additional and/or clarifying words are used, the Amplified is an excellent Bible version for deeper study.So it was with some eagerness that I picked up The Everyday Life Bible with notes and commentary by Joyce Meyer. Let me say that I believe that most devotees of Joyce Meyer will enjoy this Bible, as will those who may not be familiar with Joyce's work, but who are looking for a solid, reliable Bible text with useful, practical commentary on how to live for Jesus everyday.What is this Bible like? Well, those who have read Joyce's books, will know that she intersperses the Amplified Bible text within her written words. With this Bible, that practice is reversed:- Joyce's teaching is interspersed within the Amplified Bible text.Amongst the features are Book Introductions, which include an Everyday Life Principle for each individual book of the Bible. Everyday Life Articles are another feature, some of which have been written especially for this Bible and all of which correspond to specific verses and situations in the text. Speaking the Word shows readers how to personalise the Bible text and apply it to themselves and Life Points and Putting the Word to Work apply the Bible's lessons and text to everyday life.At the back of the Bible, there is a section called, The Word for your Everyday Life, which is essentially a topical index, where you can look up texts for specific situations and topics. There is a full index of all features, together with a Prayer to receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour.The font size is good for reading and the features are tastefully presented within the text. There are also several lined, notes pages at the back for personal notations, prayer requests, etc. Both the bonded leather and hardcopy versions are well crafted and sturdy.Prospective buyers should note though that this is not a traditional Study Bible in the manner of the Life Application or NIV Study Bibles. Rather, its sub-title is, "The Power of God for Everyday Living" and that is exactly what this Bible helps us to do - bring the Word of God into our everyday lives in meaningful ways.It should also be noted that both the hardcover and bonded leather versions are large Bibles. The size is suitable for study and going to Church, but are too large to carry in handbags. Some people might prefer a smaller, lighter Bible.One disappointment I did have was that the usual concordance featured in most Amplified Bibles was missing. The Amplified has one of the best concordances of any Bible, so I was sad to see it was not included. However, the number of pages - 2200 - may have precluded adding the usual concordance to this version.I have given The Everyday Life Bible 5 stars....the Amplified text, together with Joyce's commentary have helped me to bring the power of God's word more into my everyday living, so it is true to its claim. Another reason for the high rating is that I believe it has wide appeal - even to those who are not familiar with Joyce Meyer's work, or who may not buy her books or tapes. The lessons and notes contained within help to expound the Bible truth and complement the Amplified text well.

Very good Bible easy to understand and so many notes love it

I love my Joyce Meyers Everyday Bible I have ordered 3 total

I was using a The Message Bible leather back for sometime and found it useful for carrying around but with ongoing eye issues wanted something larger and I had her hard back Bible already. When I saw her leather bound large print I was so happy. Having some eye issues I thought this would be perfect. It is as good as her hard cover one, BUT I can see as I get older and I'm older now, the size of this is a bit cumbersome for me to handle just on my lap when reading in my comfy chair. So, if your question is handle ability- it is the one thing I guess I didn't imagine. The thinness of the paper also makes it difficult to flip through pages and I find the corners are sticking together and that may be because it's new. Packaging was great. In general her leather bound Bible is beautiful, helpful, encouraging and easy to understand how to apply to real life. It's just a bit heavy to carry around.

Love the size, the cover,a book that has a lot of material about God, and that u can learn a lot from thank you
