We purchased this Bible a few months ago for our 18 year old son, who somehow left his Bible at youth group, and we never saw it again. Too bad, he really liked that Bible, but he decided he wanted something new. In my search for a new Bible, I came across this Bible, and it looked like just the ticket for our son. Once he saw it, he liked it, and when we found out that Spiros Zodhiates was one of the authors on it, we felt it was going to be a solid study Bible for our son. We also checked with a good friend that we trust, to see if he knew about this particular Bible. Turned out, he has it, and loves it! Our son feels the same way. We feel he is more interested in reading his Bible, and is getting more out of it. If you are looking for a good study Bible, and you like the NIV translation (don't know why it hasn't come out in NKJV yet), this is an excellent Bible!
