The Legacy Study Bible by Hank Hanegraaff (2007)

There is nothing too much one could say about this book to make it special; it speaks for itself. Have you every look at a preacher's, pastor's, deacon's, etc., book? It will basically have the whole sermon from when the church has 1st been built. Well this is the book for him and anyone who has always wanted to write in their bible. This book has space, spACE, everywhere, even in the concordance.

Hank's idea for this book, according to his broadcast, came from looking at the bible his father, after death, had left behind. Hank called this his father's legacy, and saw his dad's whole sermons written in it, and thought, wouldn't it be great to have a bible with space. This extra room, Hank says, is for callers who call CRI, do bible study on their on, or simple take notes from a pastor.

Now, according to Gordon D. Fee, one whom Hank calls a giant in the faith, all we need is a book that translates the translation.

WHY: Hanks bible is in the NKJV version, again according to Gordon, this is not a good study tool , but the TNIV/NIV, NRSV/NASU, GNB/NAB, and REB/NJB in that order from best to the next best is. (Now this does not mean don't buy it for even Hank says test scripture in light of scripture. My opinion is having one translations limits you to the that text and if misunderstood is because of your interpretation. Gordon and Hank will both agree with me on that and that we need cross refeences and other tools to read for all it is worth.)

REASON: because the KJV, NKJV, NASB, and a few others use terms like shekles, baths, and talents that mostly deal with money and these are not our modern terms and the studier does not know how much that is.

REFERENCE: (Gordon D. Fee & Douglas Stuart (2003) A Good Translation. In the book How to Read the Bible for All its Worth (chapter 2 pp. 33-53) Zondervan) This book is still awesome because although you study with another book translation by your side you can write what you didn't know but now know in your on legacy bible.
