You just have to carry a Bible the size of a cinderblock brick because, in an ABC congregation, it would be too difficult for them to figure out what that funny leather book was that you keep quoting from in the pulpit.
McFadd,
Everything's whacky on the left coast; come up to Michigan some time and see how Bible-centered and Christ-centered our ABC churches are.
I like Matthew Henry's commentary and my KJV Bible.
ESV Study Bible. I like the notes, articles, maps and graphics. I appreciate the online version because that bad boy is way too heavy to cart around.
Kudos the ESV Reformation Study Bible. I also still consult my NIV Study Bible from time to time.
I also use the Thompson KJV. My most favorite is the NKJV Reformation Study Bible, edited by Sproul. I have supplemented the RSB with items I have removed from the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible (the Confessions), the Open Study Bible (the Cyclopedic Reference), and MacArthur's Study Bible (the topical reference). I have all these inserts taped into the back of my NKJV RSB. Sort of a poor man's version of a customized Study Bible.I was wondering about the Bibles most people use on the PB for their personal study. I have several Bibles and different translations but my favorite is my KJV Thompson Chain Reference. Here are the reasons:
1. KJV: preference of underlying text (not KJV only), it's been around a long time, and the beauty of the language.
2. Thompson Chain Reference: the best reference system available, no notes but a lot of study helps, very high quality Bible for the price (especially if you get the genuine leather).
NKJV MacArthur Study Bible is my favorite as I love reading the explanatory and devotional notes along with the scripture. There are historical and geographical explanations to the text given as well. I've used this one for years and really love it! I do have the Thompson Chain Reference as well and use it occasionally.
Except that I prefer the NASB edition. I also use the RSB-ESV but not as often.
Your region is copying the pattern of Paul Borden up in northern California by flying under "Growing Healthy Churches" in order to get away from the "ABC" moniker.
I have the Allan ESV in Highland Goatskin, and a Cambridge NIV, also in goatskin.
If you haven't tried a true, quality Bible -- please do.
It's expensive, but so are $300 boots and $1000 rifle, and I wouldn't hunt bear or deer in rifle season without either.

I've had my eyes on an Allan ESV1 for sometime now... saving my pennies...

John MacArthur has a one-volume commentary on the whole Bible. Is his notes in that commentary the same as his notes in the MacArthur Study Bible?
Matthew Henry is good too.I prefer using a regular Bible and a separate commentary. That way i can switch commentaries and i'm not chained to one in particular.
Right now I'm reading KJV, and the Matthew Poole Commentary along side
I bought an Allan ESV2 and was somewhat disappointed for what I paid for it. The pages are wavy, there are no maps, and no Book introductions. The paper doesn't seem as good as some Cambrige Bibles I own. However, the leather is top notch with semi-yap edges, and I like the red under gold gilded pages.
