The NIV version was my first Bible. My first wife and I exchanged one as Christmas gifts in 2004. She passed away in 2011. This year on the 10th anniversary of her passing, I had them rebound in calfskin and presented them to my son and daughter. It was a very emotional day for us all. I know my kids will treasure them as much as I did. Thanks for sharing this. Thanks for the memories Tim.
Thanks Tim. Life has changed in 10 years. I have a wonderful extended family now and faithful wife who herself lost her first husband as well. Our similar stories and our faith in the Lord has built a strong foundation for our family out of a very dark valley. God is good even in dark times.
This has been such a great Bible for my husband. He always had a hard time understanding the Bible and now it is like his world has opened up and it totally makes sense. Thanks for the review on the updated version. It just keeps getting better and better. I love the NLT version too.
I love my Life Applicaton bible. I have it marked up with my favorite verses with yellow and green highlighter colors. It is my special friend when I spend a hour every morning reading it. So comforting. I recommend it without reservation.
Gidday Tim, and hope you are doing well. I've got the NLT Application Bible (amongst other study bibles) and I'm finding this one really good and interesting, and it's like you said, it makes you stop and think about your life and how to apply things. I've got the EVS, NIV, CSB and NKJV, and the Application Study Bible is the one I seem to use most frequently and write some of those notes in my journalling bible. I'm loving the journey even though I'm still new at it. Take care and loving your videos, very informative
I love The NIV Bible so much honestly is my favourite bible and that's one reason why I want the 2020 version of the study bible already had the Life Application Study Bible Is hard covered version As a 17 year old we don't really get in the It's $250 bibles but when I'm working I will probably do that maybe probably below $107
I love the NIV too and also the NLT. I have also come to love the newer CSB. I have the ESV also. I used to only read KJV and I don't anymore because I discovered Dr. James White and Dr. Michael Brown. 😁👍🏻
Love this bible..if your wanting to get the most from the "study information department " nothings gonna beat the ESV brand study bible..thats where i get my study..but i go to this one for reflection and application..great video..great showing of this life application bible!
I love the Life Application Study Bible. I’ve had it for years. It’s very practical for Biblical applications. I’m surprised to hear that it’s up to the third revision.
I have a copy of the first edition which I used a lot back in the day. It’s been sitting on the shelf for quite some years now though. Mainly because I’ve sort of outgrown the NIV.
Excellent review brother I love this Bible I have the KJV version red letter thumb indexed large print and I love this Bible only thing I don’t like is the pages are really thin and I can get distracted a little by the words showing through the page but not a dealbreaker. I was always told to stick to the KJV bible so I did I have to stop and look words up sometimes to understand what I’m reading if it’s not explained in the footnotes or the definition on the page under the text not sure about other translations if they replace them words with words we know in English but I’ve told other translations change some of the scriptures not sure about that just a few verses I’ve been shown but all in all I love this Bible the footnotes makes it so much easier to understand and like you said tells you or challenges like to apply the scriptures to your everyday life recommend this bible 11/10 times!!
I too use to be concerned about the various translations. However, they are another way for God to preserve his WORD so that have eyes to see and ears to hear can understand what the Holy Spirit is sharing in the scripture. I was brought to this enlightenment after continual pray to help me with the confusion and hysteria. One morning I woke up and the Spirit told me to read 2 Timothy 3: 16-17. Mind you, I've never read this and had just begun reading the bible for the first time. Here's what it changed my view on various translations that are accepted by the Christian Church as a whole: 2Tim. 3 Verses 16 to 17 - KJV "[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - ESV [16] All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, [17} that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - CSB [16] All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, [17] so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. So, in my humble opinion...All Christian scripture, regardless of the translation, is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, rebucking, correcting, for training the righteous so that we be completely equipped for every good work that is pleasing to Him. So, try an easier translation and refer often to the footers...because nothing is truly ever missing from the bible. God bless.
I know you wrote this a year ago, but I thought I'd just mention it anyway. Zondervan has a NIV Large print, thumb indexed in bonded leather, Life Application Bible. I don't know if they have the other versions like NLT etc but I thought I'd mention this one specifically as I saw your comment. Have a blessed day 🕊
Yes! I have the NLT Life Application Study Bible, large print, Jesus' words in red letter, the teal leatherlike cover and I love it, but only wish it was thumb indexed. I have pre-printed adhesive index tabs in mine now.
Can you make a video on the Student Life Application Study Bible? I come to this channel for advice on which Bibles to purchase. I ordered this Bible today and I want to know if I made the right decision in doing so. Thank You so much Tim.
WATCHED YOU FOR A LONG TIME LOVED THIS VIDEO AS I HAVE NLT VERSION AND APPRECIATED THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED ABOUT IT. I WAS OVERWHELMED BY THIS BIBLE AND NOW I AM NOT THANK YOU. 🙏🏻
I have the hardback copy of the NLT and I really like it. How come you didn't discuss the cover structure? I noticed that it is a paste-down liner and that there seemed to be a spot that wasn't glued well to the cover.
Please see if Tyndale will make a Kjv genuine leather large print life application study bible. I see them in many formats but not what I am looking for. Thanks for a reply, Harlan Gene Parrott Sr
Hi Tim. Thanks for the video. Am thinking of getting the kindle version instead of the hard copy bible study. I want to get the hard copy but because of Covid and am not sure when am going to receive it and what I have been told is, it might take six month or more before I receive it. My questions to you is should I wait and place an order and wait 6 month or more or just get the kindle version? Another question does the kindle version has the same information as the hard copy or is it different. Thank you
Hello there I know this a older video but is this a big study if you have your other study Bible away and do you have a link for the large print life study Bible thanks.
Are the verses marked so you know there's a comment about it on the bottom? If not do you read the whole chapter first than read the comments? Thank you I'm thinking of ordering one. Are they price good?
Each study note is correlated to each verse so say 1 Corinthians 6:1 the study note at bottom will say the same or sometimes it will say 6:1-5 verses 1 through 5 so I read verses then the study notes myself not a whole chapter then the study notes but it’s just preference I got leather kjv and red letter thumb indexed large print for about 100$ if you don’t want all they the price goes down as cheap as around 50-60$ but I love the Bible helps me to understand stuff better and apply what your learn to your life
Difficult question to answer… I tend to think that a lot of modern Christian thought is at least somewhat influenced by the theology of the Reformation.
Very late response, but I don’t think it leans Calvinist or Reformed. I grew up in the Wesleyan Church, and they gave these out to all students, and they used it at the Wesleyan University I attended.
That section of 1 Chronicles doesn't have a lot of life application notes... it's more historical context about the people being named. I don't think the genealogies in the Bible need to have some sort of deep, personal application for our daily lives in order for us to value their place in the Bible.
@@timwildsmith beautiful guitar! I caught your new song today on the feed. Outstanding! You guys are definitely onto something, it was a breath of fresh air in a world of over-produced worship music. Simple, beautiful, and anointed. Keep them coming!
My family & I have been using the Life Application Study Bible literally for DECADES! I either have or have had a lot of the really popular study bibles out there in virtually every translation you can think of, but the NLT LAB has been my go-to forever. I might as well not even bother owning any other Bibles, I use the NLT LAB so much. It's hands down my favorite of all time & definitely my "desert island" book, for sure. The only thing about the Life Application Bible, & basically every other Bible I own published by Tyndale, is that their binding quality has become pretty much AWFUL over the past several years. They just fall apart. The bindings split & the pages fall out & the pages, themselves, are so thin you're halfway afraid to read it, lest the pages get ruined. I had a brand new hardcover NLT LAB that I only used for just a copy months before it just fell to pieces with just gentle daily use. I gave up & saved up the money to get a genuine leather copy for over $100, & it's "okay," I guess. The leather is really thin & there's a big dent in the back cover that I'm assuming is a flaw in the leather. The pages are still very thin & the gilt started flaking off the bottom of the Bible pages almost right away. It's really shameful that Tyndale can't get their act together & make a well-made, high-quality Bible for the prices they charge. Tyndale used to make good stuff. I have several NLT LABs from the 90s & early 2000s that are still in great shape today. And it's not just the LAB that falls apart. I have several NLT One Year Bibles that are falling apart the same way. The bindings are split & pages start falling out. Which is ridiculous cuz I have One Years from the 90s that look like they've survived a hurricane that are as soild as the day they were bought. I don't mean to go on & on about this problem, but Bibles are meant to be used hard & all the time. They are the very Word of God & Tyndale should be ashamed of the shoddy craftsmanship they're cranking out these days. Anyway, unless you're just married to the New Living Translation like I am, do yourself a big favor & buy the LAB in NIV. Zondervan, which owns NIV, still makes excellent books that really hold up to the test of time.
I have the NLT version of this. I will be honest, I am not a fan of it. The translation is great, but the nots are WAY too much. Seriously some times they are between about a twelfth of the page, and a page and a half. It drives me nuts
@@timwildsmith I would like to get the CSB apologetics study Bible partially because it’s cheaper and in my preferred translation.

I don't consider myself liberal... and I know a lot of faithful Christians who have tattoos. Maybe some people see this from different perspectives, and that's okay.

Thanks for watching!
How much does it cost
This is a great Bible. While I have a study Bible, I’ve never had the Life Application one. Thanks for another great review! ❤️
You bet, Mom!!
I wish this Bible came in ESV. I grew up with NIV, but been using ESV for the last few years.
Me, too!
Tim, this is your usual excellent review. I'm very appreciative of your willingness to review NLT, NIV, and CSB Bibles. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words!!
Got a signed copy from one of the editors back when I worked with the YMCA was really nice but I hate that I lost it. A good first study bible.
Neat!
The original one changed my life! I just bought the third edition after watching your review. Thanks for this!
It was one of the first study Bibles I got. Still have it . Mine is a hardcover. My wife and my daughter has one.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice video dude I’ve been considering getting this study bible to help me understand it better and this convinced me.
Awesome!!
Thank you so much for this thorough explanation, I have just recently gotten myself one.
You are welcome!
The NIV Life application study Bible is my favorite Bible !!! ❤
I have the olive green genuine leather NLT and it’s gorgeous and the “meat” inside is fantastic! I really enjoy it!
I have it in kjv the 2nd edition and I'm actually kinda low key obsessed with it
It’s great!

This is great ☺️🙌🏻Thank you Tim.

Also, that Gibson ES…
Good eye!! ‘59 reissue.
Thank you for your service❤
Love it! Waiting on that NKJV!!

I wish the large print came in genuine leather. It is challenging to find Bibles that are large print in genuine leather. As always, a great review.
I just bought the leather NLT large print. It is a beautiful shade of burnt orange brown. Absolutely love it.
I think there are NKJV and NASB versions too (2023).

Glad to help!
Hi hope is well. So I have the life Application study bible. How do I read it ? From the beginning to the end ?
Thanks for the vid brother
You’re welcome!!
I have the hardback copy of the NLT and I really like it. How come you didn't discuss the cover structure? I noticed that it is a paste-down liner and that there seemed to be a spot that wasn't glued well to the cover.
I didn’t notice that.
The NLT Life Application and NLT Illustrated Bibles aren’t made very well. The Illustrated is horribly made, sadly. They are both sewn and glued.
Thank you!

Awesome.... I want to buy the new updated
Good choice!

Bible looks awesome, but i need something with all 11 point font , cant seem to find anything that fits the bill
They make a Large Print edition with an 11pt font!

Thanks alot for showing beautiful books. 03:48, is it gold or green? The color changed
Brother do the different translations have the same notes?
Thanks for an answer,

For sure!!
Is the NLT life application VS. NLT illustrated life application pretty much the same except for the illustration? Do you know?

Not that I know of.

Is it the new Niv?
I believe it’s the most recent update... but not sure.
Yes. The 2011 NIV.
Is the KJV out yet? When?
Yes
They are very costly bibles. May be a hardbound edition will be suitable for poor peoples..
Yes, they make affordable hardcover editions.
Oh man, wait until you hear about premium bibles.
So how do you apply the geneologies (possible spelling error) to your life? What do the notes say of 1 Chronicles 1-9?
That section of 1 Chronicles doesn't have a lot of life application notes... it's more historical context about the people being named. I don't think the genealogies in the Bible need to have some sort of deep, personal application for our daily lives in order for us to value their place in the Bible.
@@timwildsmith So they are ignored in daily devotionals or constructing much of a sermon. More for study groups I suppose.

Sure is!
