the Ryrie study bible in soft touch is well constructed - feels better than some genuine leather bibles which is a real added value in this bible for a very nice price- But the commentary and other study features in this bible are as clear, comprehensive and superb in scholarship as I have ever seen in any of the most popular study bibles. Charles Ryrie supplies the beginning bible student with a wealth of helps and the very long time bible student/or teacher with a treasure trove of bible study tools and outstanding commentary- his purpose to help readers understand all the bible comes through in this bible without a hint of position bias.

Review 2 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
This Bible is definitely worth it. It is beautiful inside and out. It is a very easy Bible to read and it comes with super study notes and lots of extras such as maps, vocabulary, cross-references, etc. I love the size print for older eyes. I would love to have this Bible in every translation. It would make a beautiful gift. I wish I would have had my name put on it, so make sure you do. I so enjoy it!

Review 4 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
This is a great Bible. It has great study notes, cross references, concordance, and clear maps, etc. I love the cover. It feels like glove leather, and the pages turn easily. The font is a good size, and easy to read. It's also reasonably priced. I bought mine last year. My 17 year old granddaughter loved it and asked for one for her birthday. My other two granddaughters saw hers, and asked for one for their birthdays, also. All-in-all I bought five (4 NASB and 1 NIV). What's encouraging to me is that, as teenagers, they want to study God's word and want a good Bible, and I'm all for that!

Review 5 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
Good value for the NASB Ryrie Study Bible. I love the cover and think it will be great in the long run even though some prefer leather. The pages are very thin, making the print from the other side show thru, making the overall appearance not as bright as it might be. The study helps are very good, and I love the feel of the overall page layout as I read it.

As a revivalist and Bible teacher, I have recommended the Ryrie Study Bible for the past three decades as the very best study Bible available. At times, I have even purchased them in bulk to make them available on my product table in my meetings. I cannot tell how many times I have ordered a Ryrie Study Bible for my parishioners, when I have been serving as pastor. And, when gift-giving times have come, I have attempted to make certain that all my close friends have had their own personal copies It was just such a time, when I saw the latest edition in the soft-touch advertised. I was intrigued, and honestly wondered if I might be disappointed in the physical appearance and construction of the imitation leather edition. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised! When I received the two which I had ordered for friends, I was tempted to keep one for myself. Of course, I didn't, since I already possess a few Ryrie Study Bibles of my own. It remains a Bible college education in one volume. I shall continue to recommend it to everyone!

Review 7 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
This Ryrie NASB Bible is one of the few NASB editions still available that embodies large print and genuine leather cover in a red letter edition. I was searching for these features in a non-study, pulpit Bible. The great study features of the Ryrie edition makes this Bible bulkier than I personally wanted, but for anyone looking for a study Bible, the Ryrie is one of the best. I was a little disappointed in the leather cover. Although clearly stamped "genuine leather," it has the look and feel of bonded leather. The finish is dull, and I prefer one that is shinier and softer. Only time will tell how rugged the cover is and how well it will hold up to daily use. Although falling slightly short of my personal expectations (hopes?), I would still recommend this Bible as a quality study Bible.

Review 8 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
As I am able to afford the purchase of Study Bibles, Dictionaries and other resources for the attendees of my Prison Bible Classes, I keep on patronizing CBD because I can absolutely depend on a prompt shipment and receipt of the needed resources. The men for whom I purchase these resources are typically indigent and are totally unused to anyone doing anything for them without strings attached. This provides another opportunity to teach them the principle of Grace.
CBD is part of my regular source for these items that are so essential to the continuation of my minstry. Thank you...

Review 9 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
I have had this copy of the Bible for about a year. There are two major problems. First is the red letter printing in many areas is very light and hard to read. Second is the construction of the book is poor. It is already coming apart in both the front and back. Very disappointed in the workmanship and with Moody Press. A study Bible should be made to hold up under use.

Review 10 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
My work as Bible teacher is in the local jail. One inmate gave her life to Christ and became serious about Bible study. She wanted a study Bible, and the Ryrie Study Bible, NASB, was my choice for her. It is my favorite, most scholarly translation, and the notes and helps are wonderful for anyone who wants to go deeper in the Word. The inmate was thrilled with the gift of this Bible, and is committed to use it faithfully.

Review 12 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
The first Ryrie Study Bible I ordered was exactly what I wanted, the 1995 edition, red letter with indexes and separated out verses, one from another. The second Ryrie Study Bible I ordered, which I thought was the exact as my first purchase, edition, was not.
My experience with Christian Books has been excellent, the return policy is gracious beyond my expectations. I will purchase another 2 Ryrie Study Bibles if it is exactly as the first Bible I purchased .
Thanks W Kay Cude

Review 16 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
The Ryrie Study Bible has made a very deep impression on my study life and has made studying God's word much easier for me . This is the second purchase that I have made and it has proved to be a very informative and valuble item (i.e. in depth explanations of key verses, charts and maps in order that the learner my get a feel of what's trying to be explained or demonstrated in the verse).

Review 18 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
I bought this bible as a birthday gift for my mother. I have owned one my self for 6 years and love it. My mother was very excited to get it and is really enjoying the study part of it. This is the first study bible that she has ever owned. Her old bible is so worn out and falling apart, so I thought way not get her a new one and why not get her one like the one that i have gotten so much use out of my self. The Ryrie study bible is fantastic and not only to I own one but I also got one for my husband and my two best friends who all also love this bible.

Review 19 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
I purchased this new Ryrie Study Bible because my old Ryrie Study Bible was falling apart after many years. My old Ryrie was bonded leather while the new one is genuine leather. While the new Ryrie is thinner, its width is wider. The notes and study helps are excellent. The paper and print quality is inferior to the old Ryrie. I believe the print is smaller and the paper is thinner, and as a result the words on the back side of the page being read bleeds through. The new Ryrie gives literal meaning of words, which the old Ryrie did not. I do like this feature. The old Ryrie started each verse as if starting a new paragraph, which made it easier to read and to locate where the verses begin. The new Ryrie does not do this. The leather is the worst leather covering I have ever come across in a bible. It is thin and has a cheap appearance. Overall, I believe the Ryrie study system is great. However, with the exception of the addition of the literal meanings of words, I was disappointed in the new Ryrie Study Bible.

Review 20 for Ryrie NAS Study Bible Soft Touch Brown, Red Letter
This genuine black leather Ryrie study bible in NASB has been a valulable study aid. The Bible is well made with superior Smyth binding and excellent leather. The bibles study features add a fresh insight to passages with information no other study Bible has provided. They all have strengths but this Bible clarifies some of the paticular historical context that I have found lacking in other study Bibles. Overall, I would highly recommend this Bible as a first time study Bible purchase.
