NIV First-Century Study Bible

I've read/skimmed my fair share of Bibles in the past. I thought this Bible would be a nice edition to my collection. I write in my Bibles, so I have a tendency to run out of margins or coloring on the pages.

I got this book as an eBook. While the text is the same as any NIV, this Bible incorporates lots of different studies for words and text amongst other things. There is a lot of different learning tools that can be utilized in this Bible.

The only downfall I found with the eBook was that it took forever to load. I tried it on three different things: my phone, my tablet and my Nook Color. They all seemed to load very slowly, sometimes not at all and all I got was the spinning wheel of death. While having an eReader or eBook is nice and handy, I much prefer to have a real, solid book in my hand. There is something more appealing to me. I would have loved to seen this Bible in physical form.

Pink Bible

I have read many versions of the Bible. I happened to be thinking the other day, "What if I run out of room with all the notes that I put in my Bible???" Low and behold, I was able to request a copy of this Bible.

This is an NIV version, with devotionals spread out across to help those that are going through breast cancer or are a survivor. I am neither,  but my mother passed away from Kidney Cancer, so this is partly the reason that I got it. I really liked reading the little devos that were included. It spoke right to my heart about things that I have had to deal with while mom was going for treatments.
