Quest Study Bible [NIV]


The Quest Study Bible, Q & A format Zondervan 2019

Have you ever wished that you had a way to communicate to a new believer clearly, concisely, and effectively some of the basic truths that a lifetime of study has revealed?



The original Quest Study Bible has recently been restructured and reborn as a more effective Bible study tool.




This is a great resource. If you have found daily reading of scripture to be daunting and have felt like attending a bible study is out of your comfort zone because you just do not know what they are discussing or how the story of Nineveh could even remotely be applied to your life...then this Bible was compiled for you.



"Why did the kings go to war in the spring?"
"How much was a shekel worth?"
"Why would the son of a godly king murder his brothers?"
"Are some rulers beyond accountability?"
"What gives contentment?"

Personally why I like this Bible:
Culturally, asking questions is a very Jewish way to study the Bible. For years, Christians have viewed questions equitably with doubting ones faith. This has in the past created isolation rather than deepening community and faith.
The questions presented do not make you feel ridiculous or inferior. They are real, sensible questions and are presented with information that contains life applicable answers and resources.

From over 7,000 updated notes presented in Q & A format to a comfort print font, the Quest Study Bible makes reading scripture an enjoyable and informative experience.

I was graciously provided with a copy in exchange for my review.
Thank you.

Our Bibles were consumed November 8, 2018 in the Camp Fire fire that destroyed Paradise, Ca. Since the fire we have distributed over 600 copies of the Bible in English and Spanish.
If you would like to help spread hope on the ridge here in Paradise, please contact First Baptist Church of Paradise.

As per usual, translation disclaimer: the NIV post 2011 is the blended version of both the NIV and TNIV.

Thompson Chain Reference- KJV

Image
Thompson Chain Reference Bible has long been the Bible for in-depth study.  According to Wikipedia “  Dr. Frank Charles Thompson, in the early 1900s, but the original work was started in 1890. Thompson was born in 1858, in   Elmira ,   New York , and was ordained in 1879. His wife was Laura Boughton Thompson. He began work on the system because of his dissatisfaction with the reference Bibles that were then available to preachers: Dr. Thompson believed the Bible should be presented in a simple, but scholarly way. He saw the need for a well-organized reference Bible that would be of practical use to the layman as well as a minister. In 1890, Dr. Thompson began the work he would continue for the rest of his life. He completed the "thought suggestions" opposite the verses throughout the Bible. These are what became the "chain-links" that are the heart of the Thompson system. Dr. Thompson created these chain link topics (4,000 of them) leadership by from verse to verse

The last week has been full.of many lessons. The Bible readings for our congregational read along were the book of Daniel. Since Paradise burned, the phrase "there's another in the fire" has taken on new meaning. He was there with us. Preserving us and saving lives. So many miracles happened, and almost everyone who talk to will tell you their miracle in their narrative. pge photo So about a week ago a new fire started, same area as the fire that took our town and home. This one acted more like a normal fire and had low wind. So it has stayed with us, slowly burning. Adding 2,500 acres a day....until recently when it made it into the canyons east of us. 20,000 acres a day. Heatherly Walker photo Our evacuation warning was just lifted, but the fire is in our beloved forests, campgrounds, national forests, and where so many from Paradise have their new homes. Also people who took us in and offered homes to Paradise, are now fleeing the fire. This mor

Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible

This reminds me of my childhood.  My mother would drag us kids all over Washington DC for Bible studies. The moms would be at the table discussing and pouring over scripture,  and all us kids would be on the living room floor or a side room, with matchbox cars, GI Joe's, My Little Pony, or Strawberry Shortcake.  Small things that traveled well. Do moms still do this? The serious Bible teachers, especially if they did precepts, or the like, all had a Thompson's. It was a treasured and yes, coveted Bible edition.  The woman who discussed scripture with my at the time very pagan mother,  owned a Thompson's. My mother would discuss spells and such with one neighbor and Miss Vicki would show up in our backyard in Italy, and take path after path of scripture, following the scarlet threads, and point my mother to Messiah. Every question that arose could be traced and discussed with Gd's Word, not man's stories and speculations. Through her faithful
