Today's #1-Selling Study Bible has been thoroughly updated and expanded in The Life Application Study Bible - 3rd Edition, offering fresh and relevant insights.Our passion is inspiring you to connect with God and His Word. Not only is this a free Bible app, but we also have 100s of free books. Ron Beers: These are the two most popular “modern” translations in the US right now. They are both excellent for reading and study. The NLT would lean more toward a “thought-for-thought” translation philosophy (putting greater emphasis on the intended original meaning of a passage) while the NIV would lean a bit more literal in its translation philosophy (putting slightly more emphasis on translating each word with its original language equivalent). Both translation philosophies have their merits. I’m a member of the Central Bible Translation Committee for the New Living Translation (NLT), so I am of course biased in that direction!

Why is it important that the original LASB editors were reassembled with a team of next generation female editors to produce this third edition? There’s no need to spend lots of money on paper books. By investing in digital Bible study tools, you will be able to get the answers you need wherever you are. Ron Beers: Time and spiritual warfare. We all had other full-time jobs, but for a year we put in an additional 30-40 hours per week to meet our deadlines. We pretty much worked seven days a week for over a year. During that time we felt intense spiritual warfare: weird things happening to us and our families, an intense heaviness in our souls. This also happened when we first developed the LASB, so it wasn’t surprising to see it happening again. The Enemy doesn’t want God’s Word to be read and applied—not in any culture. After all, as Ephesians 6:12 says, we are “not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world.”

So it sent me on a search through all the available study Bibles on the market. I found study notes about Wormwood but no notes on Worry. I found notes on Phylacteries, but not a single note on Purpose or Priorities. I found notes on the town of Gozan but nothing on Goals. This research begged the question: If the Bible is supposed to be a blueprint for living, then there should be plenty of verses that show us how to live as a disciple of Jesus, how we can live transformed lives, how to bear much fruit (as Jesus put it). But not a single study Bible did this—there was lots of information, but no application. Search has never been easier or faster. Other Bible apps search only a single translation. The Life Bible App searches over 40 translations simultaneously to find your Bible verse. Use the filter to select your favorite Bible translations; Give an example of how a current issue in the Christian faith is handled in the notes about it in the LASB. Ron Beers: Millions of people are indebted to whomever had the original vision for Bible Gateway. Having easy access to any verse of the Bible in multiple translations helps Bible study come alive. What a privilege for me to talk about a Study Bible on Bible Gateway!
