I've not looked at two of these--the Apologetics Study Bible for Students and the Case for Christ NIV Study Bible. First, I'm not young enough to be a "student." And while I've spent *some* time in the store looking at the adult Apologetics Study Bible, I've not been persuaded enough to buy it. Second, the NIV is not my favorite or best translation of choice. I have read one Lee Strobel book--can't remember if it was The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, or The Case for Resurrection. (If it was in another translation, I'd probably have opened it up and read some in the store to see if it was for me.)
The Life Lessons Lucado Bible I've *looked* at in the store. Even somewhat longingly. But knowing that I have the first edition, and knowing how full my Bible shelf already is has kept me safe...so far!
I own two of the finalists--the HCSB Study Bible which is one of the best, best, best study Bibles that I've discovered in a while! And the ESV Seek and Find Bible which is unique and good in its own way. (If I could have had this one when I was 8, it would have been love, love, love!!!)
Two of the finalists are for youth--either children or teens. Three are for adults. One seems a bit more "inspirational/devotional" than study-study. But I think each has its strengths. Each, of course, has the potential to be THE ONE for some one out there seeking God's Word, God's Truth.
I do wish that the ESV MacArthur Bible would have made the finalist list. I really, really do. Because it's one of my favorite Bibles. It's a great translation--I just love, love, love the ESV. And the notes are so thorough and well-written. And the format/design is great. I *think* it is the best formatted of the MacArthur Study Bibles--comparing it with the first edition of the NKJV, and the NASB edition.
