MACARTHUR STUDY BIBLE - A REVIEW
Each month we will provide you a review of a different Study Bible. This month's review features the MacArthur Study Bible.I really enjoy the John MacArthur Study Bible by Word Publishing. It offers me great insights into the Word of God and provides great commentary throughout the Old and New Testaments.
I was given this great reference by a great evangelist and preacher named Herman Gauthier. I love him and I love this great tool for helping me understand God's Holy Word. Thank You Pastor Herman!
