My Review:
NKJV, Wiersbe Study Bible is a New King James version of the Bible with verse commentary taken from Warren W. Wiersbe's "Be ____" commentary series. I have several of the books from this commentary series, and the excerpts are word for word from the book but do not contain the complete book. Someone who has read the commentary series will have previously read the commentary that is in this Bible, but someone who has read all of the Wiersbe material in this Bible will not have read everything that is in the commentary series.

There was also Wiersbe commentary in the introductory, overview section for each book of the Bible and sidebars that contained Wiersbe commentary upon that part of the Bible. The print in the Bible is bold enough and the pages thick enough that all of the text is easy to read even though the actual size of the Bible text is not notably large (or small). This Bible has full-color maps, concordance, etc. in the back. Wiersbe is a conservative teacher and takes the entire Bible as accurate (including Genesis), so I enjoy having his commentary accessible while reading the Bible.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
