I LOVE the Fire Bible! It has excellent commentary footnotes and references. Very good for studying. I have been taking a Beth Moore study on James and several of her points have been validated in the footnotes which excited me!
I also like the OT book summaries which show how the book relates to the NT. I have shown it to everyone at church and work and have had several say they're going to get one too. I'm glad it was made available to everyone.
The pink and brown cover is very pretty.

Love that is NIV 1984! Hard to find. Prefer 1984! Book introductions and articles are very well done and provide a wealth of information and cross reference. Theme finders help tremendously! Don't really care for this particular binding or paper but it meets my need.

This piece of Theological literary material exceeded my expectations. Its content, condition, and expedient delivery were remarkable.
The Fire Bible has definitely enabled me to enjoy a widen search for the true meanings and depths of God's plan for mankind with excellent directions and commentary as well as additional resources all within your fingertips.
The print is small but the content is vast. I recommend the Fire Bible for those seeking an expanded delivery of biblical content.

I Love The FIREBIBLE. It has to be one if not the best one out there. It breaks everything down for easy understanding. I teach sunday school and I am a youth leader also. I do ALL my teaching from this. I have bought 6 firebibles and have given each of them to students and to friends who thrist for Christ. This Bible is what you need. Just wish they made one with Christ words in red.I gave my heart and life to christ in Jan.09. so I am kinda a newbie, and 2 of the youth had turned me on to the Firebible, and I haven't been the same since. Love your store and will be buying more from you soon. God Bless...<><

I love this Bible. I have only had it for short time but I am gonna start devouring it. It is like a Bible and Commentary in one with an emphasis on Pentecostal Doctrines which is exactly what I was wanting.
The only downfall is that it seems to be from a trinitarian viewpoint and I am a oneness Pentecostal. Byte I do believe that God shows Himself through Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
I am gonna enjoy this Bible and it was definitely at a very good price. Thank you and God Bless all your reading and studying His Word!!! Rev. Todd F. Fischer

I love this Bible and the commentary. The first day I had it, one of the articles brought peace to my heart regarding an issue that had bothered me for years. I realize that the Bible is already huge, but I would like a reference version of it in larger print--maybe in two volumes!

The Fire Bible is easy to read & understand. It has lots of footnotes and other 'helps'. I highly recommend this Bible to anyone who has trouble with the KJV. You'll be glad you made this purchase.

Over my years of being a Christian I have collected several Study Bibles. In Fact I have six. My seventh one is of course my newest one, "FIREBIBLE Global Study Edition, New International Version, 1984". I am truly impressed with the the depth of study notes that are imbedded within this Bible. This is a very impressive Bible. I have spent 27 years in the evangelical church arena. For the past 6 years I am with a Assembly of God church. This Bible is and will help me to grow into the area of the Holy Spirit and the gift of Tongues. Once again I am truly impressed with this Bible

This Bible has excellent study helps, the print is large Nd bold enough to read with no problems. This has quickly turned into my favorite Bible. The only drawback is the paper...I just wish it was of higher quality. The bonded leather is very durable and I like the fact that all print is black, including the words of Jesus.

I am so glad I purchased this bible! The Fire Bible global edition really helps me understand biblical concepts, characters and issues without page flipping to other verses. Insights are right there below so you have instant access; however there is an extensive concordance and cross-reference system, if you want that too! I really love the articles and themefinders throughout this bible. I honestly wish everyone could have this bible. The only negative thing I would say is it is somewhat cumbersome to handle because of all the fabulous extras, but that is a small price to pay for the benefits that are provided.
