My first impression when I saw the NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible was WOW! It's been quite awhile since I last bought a Bible and that one was a very basic edition. This Bible is very nice, from the layout of the text and special features to the sturdy hardcover that lies flat very nicely when left open.
If you are looking for an easy-to-carry-to-church Bible this is probably not the right one for you. The NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible is big and a bit heavy but what makes it so, is what makes it the perfect study Bible. This is the Bible you want to lay out on the table with a notebook and pens to just dig deep into the Scriptures.
There are so many features in this Bible that it will take awhile to utilize them all. One of the features that I really liked right off is the addition of maps within the book you are studying, no more having to flip to the back searching for a map of the Promised Land and then by the time you find it you've forgotten why you wanted it in the first place. My second favorite feature is the Word Wealth sections that have everything from the Strong's number to other places the same word is used again in Scripture. The introductions to each book are also very fascinating in and of themselves.
The only possible downside is that you may or may not always agree with the personal opinion of the Bible scholars that appears in the notes.
Overall I am very impressed with the Bible, though I know it's going to take me some time to fully discover and use all of the neat study aids. It's getting harder to find study Bibles in either of the two Bible versions that I prefer, the King James Version and New King King James Version, so the fact that this one is available in NKJV is a real bonus for me. I definitely plan on using the NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible for just reading, for studying, and probably even with my Bible coloring journals.
