As many of my readers already know, my preferred version of the Bible, God's Word, is the traditional KJV (King James Version). I grew up using this Bible and have used it my entire life. It seems to have fallen out of favor in today's world with the option to use a plethora of translations or versions. The closest, to my knowledge, is the NKJV (New King James Version). The NKJV is the one used in this Life in Christ Bible.
A Bible, without any notes or additives, is God's Word. Notes, commentaries, explanations tucked within the pages of a Bible are there for study, understanding, and application to one's personal life what God is saying to you, and mankind, in His Word. The added notes and commentaries are not God's Word and in any Bible should be considered separately. They are intended as aides.
About The Life in Christ Bible: God has a purpose for your life in this moment. You have a part to play in what He is doing in the world. But knowing why you are here starts with knowing who God says you are. The Life in Christ Bible invites you to embrace your identity and purpose as you:
- Discover why you matter-not because of anything you do, but because you are made in the image of God.
- Explore how the gospel of Jesus Christ makes you a new person.
- Learn how who God says you are changes how you think, speak, work, and move through the world.
My review: The main focus on this printing of the Bible is an encouragement of study that reveals the good news in the Bible that we are all "made in the image of God and conformed to the image of Christ (Genesis 1:27; Romans 8:29)." The Life in Christ Bible aids in learning just what it means to bear the image of God and find our identity in Christ.
This Bible is a lovely, well constructed printing of the New King James Version. Bound meticulously for strength and beauty and covered with a soft brown leatherette (artificial leather) cover that is flexible, easy to hold, and lays flat. This one will give years of service as you study God's Word.
As I've said previously, my personal preference in versions is the tradition, time-tested King James Version. The NKJV is close and yields a more modern language which some prefer. I also prefer the verse by verse style, but the Life In Christ Bible NKJV is printed in single column paragraph format with individual verses identified with tiny numbering.
As with any good study Bible, this one has cross references and notes throughout. Also included, are many short articles focusing on subjects dealing with our identity in Christ. Lovely maps are included as are many other really nice aids to guided study and understanding.

I love that it includes book introductions setting the scene for each biblical book and its importance for encountering God. I also love that it includes explanatory Notes explaining ideas, events, people and places and reading plans.
