The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible

Duck Dynasty stars Phil and Al Robertson are known for their strong faith and family values—and now, in partnership with Thomas Nelson publishers, they share their values with us in The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible.

Containing the complete New King James Version (NKJV) Bible text, The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible also features 125 “Set Your Sights” articles to complement the Scriptures and underscore the five core values the Robertson family live by: Faith, Family, Fellowship, Forgiveness, and Freedom. Each article emphasizes one of those core value, shows how it plays out in real life situations, and highlights a relevant topic such as prayer, repentance, gossip, suffering, fear, integrity...

Each featured article ends with a list of related Bible Scriptures for further meditation under the section entitled “On The Hunt.”


This Bible also contains 30 “LifeChangers”—stories from Al and Phil Robertson on God’s life-transforming power highlighting how He moves His plan forward in our midst.

Read my full review of this excellent Bible in Assist News Service and in The Examiner.

The NKJV Study Bible

No wonder the NKJV Study Bible (Thomas Nelson) is hefty. It is jam-packed with Bible study tools, charts, pictures – you name it, it’s there.

But be warned. This is not the Bible you grab to bring to church because of its weight. Rather, it’s the book you keep on your desk as a resource and for serious study.

This Bible is a great addition to any theological library, and especially for someone wanting to study the Bible in its cultural and historical context and to see how it all weaves together as one piece. And for minimalists, the NKJV Study Bible is in itself a comprehensive condensed theological library.

As far as readability, the layout is clean and although the font size is small it clearly legible. Paper is thin (thank goodness or you’d need huge muscles to carry it). On the down side, some of the photos provided to illustrate and highlight the text, are so tiny it is hard to see what they are. Maybe use a magnifying glass?!

Nifty features in the NKJV Study Bible include:
·        Attractive full-color page layout
·        Superb photos and graphics of Bible lands
·        Maps and charts woven in the text
·        Word studies and indexes
·        Bible Times and Culture Notes
·        Intros to Bible books
·        Outlines and timelines
·        Easy-to-read articles and notes to enhance Bible study
·        Deluxe NKJV Concordance
·        Intertwining references

The NKJV Study Bible is the complete package for those who want to delve deeply into God’s Word. Think Christmas gifts for hungry Bible students. (Do not think Christmas stocking – unless you have giant stockings.)
