About this ebook

"So what?" That's the response many people have to the Bible. Read a passage, interpret it, and still they ask, "So, what difference does that make in my life?"

In the Life Essentials Study Bible, renowned Bible teacher Gene Getz complements the full text of the popular HCSB translation by elaborating on 1,500 principles in Scripture that are as relevant today as when the sixty- six books of the Bible were written. Distilling these truths into principles, Getz helps the reader more easily remember and effectively apply the Bible's wisdom to everyday life. He explains how each of these principles represents a supracultural truth - one that can and should be applied at any moment in history and in every cultural situation. 

In addition, the Life Essentials Study Bible was created with an integrated digital study system--more than 250 hours of free online coaching content led by Getz--that fosters a greater understanding of the Bible's grand story. 

Along the way, Getz adds pertinent questions in print to inspire personal reflection or group discussion of each principle. There's also an introduction to each book of the Bible and its list of corresponding principles, plus a topical index and cross references for all 1,500 principles. Other features of this dynamic study Bible - available in six different editions - include a two-piece gift box (leather editions only) as well as a presentation page.

"Owning a copy of this astounding project containing the prodigious work and wisdom of my friend and mentor Gene Getz will be like having him in the next room -- available to advise me on every passage. Being able to access his video teaching on each of the 1,500 ‘Principles to Live By’ is a breakthrough approach, making this truly the first multi-media study Bible. What a treasure! I know it will inform my own writing."

Jerry Jenkins, owner, Christian Writer's Guild, and author of the Left Behind series

Ratings and reviews

It will be good if there is a back button that goes back to where we stopped. When i clicked on e link and i want to return to my page it doesnt jump back to where i stop.

A friend has this in hardcover, so i wanted to see if i could get it on Goolge books. I checked it on while on my regular gmail account, 6.59, ok nice price. Opps, gotta login on my google play gmail account. Wait, what? 9.59! Whats up with that??? Rechecked - yup, 2 different prices on two different accounts. How does that make sense? Can't figure that out. Sorry Gene, i really like you but on principle i can't bring myself to pay the extra 50% more.

Fantastic!
