For those of us who enjoy reading and studying the Bible there are many options. My collection includes a number of styles and translations. However these are two of my favorites. The first one is the NLT Chronological Life Application study Bible. This Bible rearranges the books into 10 chronological ordered sections. It really helps to place the stories in the timeline in which they occurred.

The second Bible is the Archaeology Study Bible. This Bible incorporates actual maps, photographs, and drawings of modern archaeological findings and studies. It is fascinating to read the Bible with real references to the actual people and places that existed at the time.

The Bible is the story of God’s interaction with his creation. It is a story that occurs over time, in many places, and through many events. It includes the lives and lessons learned by many people from many cultures. It’s often easy to lose sight of the way in which God’s story fits together when our primary way of looking at the Bible is a bit here and a bit there.

The new four-color Chronological Life Application Study Bible combines the proven resources of the Life Application Study Bible with a chronological format and several brand-new resources. The Bible is arranged in 10 chronological sections that help the reader to see how the various pieces of the Bible fit together. New section intros and timelines set the stage for the passages in each section. New archaeological notes and photographs help to bring God’s story to life in a whole new way. And of course, the Life Application resources answer the all-important question—”so what?”
