I think it is just great that I got to review a new Bible. Woo Hoo!! Dr. Warren Wiersbe  was the general editor of The Transformation Study Bible. It is in the New Living Translation which really if I had to pick something I didn’t like about it, that would be it. I would have preferred they use the New American Standard but the NLT is okay.

Here is the press release.

Legendary Clarity

Acclaimed Pastor Brings Experience, Wisdom to Transformation Study Bible

 

Dallas/Fort
Worth, TX—As
pastors seek to make the Word of God more understandable in an age that
is unfamiliar with the Bible, and as growing disciples seek to discover
the truth of Scripture in a skeptical culture, there is a great need
for guidance in both the preaching and study of God’s Word.  Whether
you’re a pastor, a seminary student, or a truth-seeking disciple, an
understanding of the Bible can be made clear to you with the help of
one of the most influential, in-depth, and practical Bible scholars in
modern history.

 

For
over thirty years, millions have come to rely on the timeless wisdom of
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe’s “Be” Commentary series.  Dr. Wiersbe’s
commentary and insights on Scripture have helped readers understand and
apply God’s Word with the goal of life transformation.  According to
Dr. Wiersbe, “It isn’t enough for us simply to read assigned portions
of the Bible each day, as helpful as that is.  A truly transforming
experience involves meditating on what we read (Ps. 1:2), studying it
carefully in the light of other verses, and then obeying what God tells
us to do (Josh. 1:8).”  Now available for the first time,
The Transformation Study Bible
offers the full text of the highly readable New Living Translation with
accompanying notes and commentary from the 50 books in Dr. Wiersbe’s
“Be” series.

 

“The Transformation Study Bible
will better enable readers to appreciate, appropriate, and apply the
Word of God, which will result in ‘purity, joy, right values, hope,
comfort, freedom, new life, peace, guidance, wisdom, integrity,
encouragement, and effective prayer,’” states Wiersbe.  In other words,
if you want to be a new person, knowing and obeying the will of God and
becoming more like Jesus Christ, there is perhaps no finer tool to
encourage that process than
The Transformation Study Bible.

 

One of the most anticipated and comprehensive study Bibles of the year,
The Transformation Study Bible
has been a lifetime in the making by a man who is widely known as a
prolific and trusted writer and theologian.  The former pastor of The
Moody Church in Chicago, an internationally known Bible teacher, and
someone who has given his life to a deep examination of the Word of
God, Dr. Wiersbe lends his vast experience and scholarly insight to the
most beloved and revered book of all time.  This effort is to encourage
believers of all levels to know and love the Bible and to experience
the same transformation that has radically changed his life.  The
result is a Bible that is clear, understandable, and applicable to the
lives of its readers.

 

Dr.
Wiersbe writes, “The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God.
 When you feed your heart and mind with its truth, you regain your
perspective and find renewed strength.”  By providing a new set of
tools for Bible students of all levels, David C Cook and Warren Wiersbe
have partnered to provide an essential tool to help bring the
“perspective” and “renewed strength” that comes from a life
transforming study of God’s Word.  This fantastic and long awaited
resource will bring more clarity than ever before to the study of God’s
Word.
