There are many study Bibles on the market.  This one is geared toward the family.  Why?  The family as a unit has been weakened by our culture, but through God we can once again strengthen the relationship. 

This book has a family tree in the front of it.  Throughout the Bible, the relationship with our ancestors is stressed.  The genealogy of Christ is listed.  The history of our “fathers” Abraham, Jacob, etc. is told over and over again.  Our children need to know from whence they come.

There is a page dedicated to marriage and one to births.  Several pages are dedicated to signposts of our lives.

The translation used in this Bible is the New King James Version.

“’Family Foundations Study Bible’ is designed to help Christian parents apply God’s Word to every life situation through its engaging features, notes and devotions.” “Learn what it means for your family to be faithful followers of Jesus through lies of Peter, John, Paul and other New Testament disciples.  Find answers to the tough questions your children will undoubtedly ask about the world, faith and God.”

This Bible helps us to discover what to do in life’s struggles. “All the notes and features in this Bible are designed to help you evaluate your situation so that you can take an appropriate course of action.”

I have several Bibles that I refer to during study.  This one will be added to that list.  I wish it had been available when my children were younger, but I will be using it to answer my grandchildren’s many and varied questions.  I particularly enjoyed the “Firm Foundations.”  Each “Firm Foundation” has one of six different themes – “Character Building, Faith Focus, Family Legacy, God’s Guidance, Home Improvements, and Transitions.”  I highly recommend “Family Foundations Study Bible” to strengthen the family bond.
