How perfect; a Bible that helps equip us against Satan's attack on our minds. If you liked the book you will certainly enjoy this Bible with all the tools that are required for Bible study.

I am a huge Joyce Meyer fan and I have struggled with Depression for over 20 years. Battlefield of the Mind has helped me through some dark times and the Bible is perfect. Filled with devotions and excerpts from the book this is definitely one Bible you need.

This Bible is like no other. I have been a fan of Joyce Meyers for a while. she has a way with words. I think this would be a great gift to anyone. I know I was thrilled to get the arc. Thank you!

This book gave so much information to the battles I've been facing! Very practical and helpful!

The various Power Points and Keys to a Victorious Life and special prayers were wonderful additions. The focus on how important our thoughts and words are was one of the themes that kept coming up. Thoughts become words and words turn into action. Satan is always lying in ambush waiting to demoralize us, tempt us and drive us away from the Lord and the blood he willingly shed so that we could have joy in our own lives. I very much appreciate the publisher and Net Galley for my kindle copy for an honest review.

Leave it up to Joyce Meyer to undertake such an astonishing project. Of course, since it's coming from her, I knew before I opened it up that it would be filled from cover to cover with teachings that I can learn a lot from.

Each book of the Bible has an introduction that told me how it pertained to winning the battle in my mind. She included prayers, power points to easily use the information and scripture confessions so I could confess God's word myself. There is so very much packed within the pages of this Bible! I was also happy to see that Joyce chose the Amplified version. This is the version that she quotes from because the meaning is so much easier to understand.

Thank you Joyce. Once more you have gone above and beyond. It often feels to me as if you have your hands together and are giving me a leg up so I can take a new step higher.

This is the amplified version of the Bible. The book is essentially a study of God’s word featuring Joyce Meyer’s teaching notes that many of her fans will recognize from her teachings. This Bible also has some notes from her best-selling book The Battlefield of the Mind.

My Opinion and Rating 4.8

This is something that I have to say up front; do not get the e-book. The reason is that the book is not as easy to maneuver around. I have Joyce Meyer’s amplified Study Bible and Max Lucadoa’s NIV Study Bible. I missed not being able to get from one chapter to the other easily. In addition, I have other Bibles in the e-book format and they are easy to go from one area to another. Other than that I really enjoy the book and plan on doing a study with the both the Battlefield of the Mind and the accompanying Study Bible. I suggest that you all do the same!!

Intriguing book mixed with humor and pure honesty. Enjoy Joyce's books

The book has not been reviewed because I was unable to download it. Thanks!

Edit: 1/17/2017

A publisher representative contacted me to let me know they reached out to the editor and confirmed that the inserts in the Scripture are from the version of the Bible being used, The Amplified Bible translation, and not added by the author. I apparently do not like that translation of the Bible. It changes my slightly negative below view of the author, but I am assuming that that translation is what the author has chosen for her works, so my three star rating does stand. I do appreciate the publisher for taking the time to contact me to correct my assumption about who input the insertions into the Word.

My thanks to NetGalley and FaithWords/Center Street for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

This review breaks my heart. I LOVE the Bible, love Joyce Meyer's work and I especially love her Battlefield of the Mind.

So why only three stars? For a Bible?!? The parentheses and brackets the author inserts into the Scripture. Every four to ten verses or so, she decides that there are words and concepts that her readers need some help with, so she adds definitions in parentheses and brackets. Only parentheses if only one word needs explaining, brackets too if there is more than one.

It bothers me for a few reasons.

1) It's insulting that she thinks her readers can't understand simple words/concepts like "belief" and "rest". 2) It says in several places in the Bible that man is not to add or remove from the word of God. 3) Instead of using footnotes, like other Bibles do, the parentheses and brackets break up the flow of the reading of the Word, making it very difficult to read, comprehend and enjoy.

I mentally skip the offensive punctuation, but it is really annoying to have to do it every few lines, sometimes multiple lines in a row.

Maybe I am the only person in the world who doesn't like this style of transcribing the Scripture. She does have a huge following, which is merited. She has a lot of good things to say and counsel others with. I do love her works and can usually ignore the punctuation in question when she's just quoting one or two verses. But to do that with the whole Bible is more than I can tolerate.

I was looking for a good study Bible for this year. I was SO EXCITED to see that she had put one out that used my favorite work by her, Battlefield of the Mind. That's why I am so crushed to give this less than a perfect review.

If you don't mind the way she writes Scripture and you love her other works, this is for you. It just didn't work for me. DNF when she felt the need to explain "rest" (as in when the Lord rested on the seventh day from creation), with the word in parentheses "cease". I just couldn't go any further. Three extremely sad, heartbroken stars.

Disclaimer: Due to the density and length of the book, I was not able to read every page before reviewing. I did, however, skim through sections, and read the entirety of a few books inside with which I was very familiar.

Full of commentary, prayers, and highlighted scriptures, reading this Bible feels like an intense Bible study without having to bring several other books into it. It intends to encourage and strengthen the faith of its readers, and seems to do just that.

When my current Bible wears out, I will strongly consider replacing it with this one.

Recommended for: fans of Joyce Meyer, Bible readers who struggle with mental health or worry

I have been a fan of Joyce Meyer's for a long time. Her teachings and books are very inspiring and very easy to understand. She has done the same with this wonderful bible. I started reading it and could not put it down! So easy to understand, it is like her words are speaking to one's heart and mind. Battlefield of the Mind will be my go to Bible. I absolutely love the notes that are included throughout the bible. Very helpful and powerful. Also, the Amplified Version is very easy to read and understand. I will use this Bible in my readings, and just when I need a lift me up. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review. I am already a big fan of Joyce Meyer, for the way God speaks through her on a daily basis in her messages, her ministries and her books. In this Bible, I expected nothing less than a similar offering. I usually prefer the hardcover Bible so that I can highlight and underline to my heart's content, but I can definitely see myself using this electronic version in study and in church because I like the additional information her version provides (through Battlefield of the Mind) as a supplement to my Life Application Study (NIV) Bible. I highly recommend this Bible as your study Bible.
