3rd Edition NLT LASB on Amazon: amzn.to/2ZJaGYj
2nd Edition NLT LASB on Amazon: amzn.to/2u40UnP
I have had the NLT Life Application study Bible 2nd edition in the personal size for a number of years, but as you can see, it is time to retire this study Bible. I saw several reviews of the 3rd edition of the NLT Life Application study Bible from Tyndale, and decided to buy a copy to replace my second edition.
Are there significant differences between the 2nd and 3rd editions? Watch to find out.

Just got mine today!! Couldn’t afford the third edition I found at my bookstore but my mom found a brand new second edition at goodwill for 10 bucks!! God is so good!!

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Awesome! That is a great find!

[@JosephAlanMeador]

The wear on that 2nd edition is a beautiful thing!

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

❤️

[@user-ln9wn8jg1t]

Thank you for explaining the differences. I’ve been browsing the NLT Life Application Bibles for two days now and your video was very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

You're very welcome!

[@Marsha-lou1986]

Thank you for your video comparison. I have been wanting a new Life Application NLT Bible. I really enjoy the NLT.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

I'm glad it was helpful! I love the NLT too. I've been in different translations for my devotions for the past couple of years and it's so refreshing being back in the NLT for my daily devotions

[@chadarnold2614]

Very helpful video! I'm shopping for a new study bible and this is exactly the resource I needed. Thank you!

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@mazznaturals]

Really appreciate your review I saw your video review on Amazon which I thought was excellent 👍🏾 and wanted to see more of this Bible as I want to but one for my daughter. I currently have the older addition and love it but it is a bit torn and held together by tape it’s we’ll used . I may need a New one soon lol 😆 Thank you so much again for the review. ❤️🙏🏾😊

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

I'm glad it was helpful! I'm actually planning on doing a follow-up to this comparison. I still like this edition, but I'm a little disappointed in how the cover has worn just since the beginning of the year. I'm probably going to have to end up getting a Bible cover, which I'm really not a fan of.

[@ChristyLuisDostoevskyinSpace]

You have a nice set up there for the flip through! New bibles are always so exciting. I have an nasb life app study Bible and I LOVE it! Except that if I'm achy or tired, sometimes it's too heavy for me to use. I love the verse references- whenever I'm reading on my phone app, I miss those references 😭

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

The standard size of the life application study bibles are big! I started using my new one Jan 1, and it's almost like I need a table to set it on.

[@ChristyLuisDostoevskyinSpace]

Raised to Walk 😂🤣 EXACTLY! Hey thanks again for letting me know about Building Hollin. I’m SO STOKED to be doing a super long readalong with Christian peeps 🥰 I just watched the first livestream and it was so fun!

Excellent review!

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Thank you!

[@jesussaves4317]

That purple color is so pretty. I love the Life Application Study Bibles. I always loved those.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Yes, it is. The teal is a really pretty color too. I gave the teal edition with thumb tabs to my daughter. I mention in a follow-up video that the cover on this Bible has been wearing, but hers has been holding up well.

[@sollasollew3208]

Thanks for the review, I had the same experience with the NLT as it really resonated with me.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Do you have the Life Application Study Bible or a different edition?

[@sollasollew3208]

@@RaisedtoWalkTV I have NLT paper back study Bible but the text is to small so it's a struggle to read but from your review I see the application study Bible has a font size that I would be able to read, so I will be ordering one as I love reading the NLT and it is my preferred devotional Bible. I have the Message, The Voice and an ESV study bible which I like to use as a reference in my research.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

@@sollasollew3208 let me know how you like it when you get it. Someone else mentioned that the personal size will be coming out in the 3rd edition in April. Although if the 3rd edition text of the personal size is the same as my 2nd, it will be smaller

[@sollasollew3208]

@@RaisedtoWalkTV they are releasing the large print edition (11 point) in July. You can pre order now on Amazon. I may go for that edition.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

@@sollasollew3208Good to know. Thanks!

[@DerrickMims]

I just got the large print third edition NIV, and I really like it. The font is perfect for my eyes, and I had no idea I would like single-column biblical text as much as I do. Mine did come with thumb tabs - I had to be sure to pick the right edition, though. It's crazy heavy, but I am already getting used to it after just a few days. I only wish the large print NIV came in genuine leather, much as I like the brown/tan imitation leather cover. 😄

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Yes, it’s a big Bible, more of for home study. And you do really have to pay attention to the edition you get, there is so much variation between them

[@BrendaBoykin-qz5dj]

Thank you,RTW🌹⭐🌹

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

You're very welcome!

[@brendalucian6219]

I have the second edition personal size in the NLT, I plan on ordering a copy in large print soon.I love the LASB,but the print in the one I have is WAY too small for me to read comfortably now without getting a headache.I just bought the KJV in large print,and it's so much better on my eyes. I have the Leatherlike cover,so I put my Bible in a cover to protect it from flaking apart.That happened with my personal size Bible- I had it stacked on top of another Bible,and the two of them got stuck together.I was able to separate them,but part of the cover peeled off,and is still stuck to the other one.That's why I'll always keep a Bible that isn't leather in a protective cover from now on.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

That's a good idea!

[@rebeccaly]

Thank you SO much!! I was wondering about the difference(s) between the second and third editions. I just purchased the 2nd edition because I found one for only $23 (personal size) and I absolutely could not pass up the sale since they are normally $65+. I kind of wish I could've purchased a 3rd edition since it has color and is beautiful to look at but the important things are the words inside, so I'm okay with that. Thank you again!

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

You're very welcome! I prefer the personal size myself. I hope you enjoy it!

[@jackson39969]

This bible is an amazing bible, just got mine recently and through enjoy it, it very life changing, and you won't regret it.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Did you get the 3rd edition? How is the cover wearing? I just published a video with an update on how the cover has been wearing. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZnNg6l4jbmmqNE

[@jackson39969]

Mine that pink and brown one , I very haven't had much trouble with it or anything. Other wise it's been fine.😊

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Hmm, maybe the tutone holds up better

[@jackson39969]

I have the 2nd edition, its works really great.

[@anniethompson9207]

I have heard the 2nd, and 3rd generation of the NLT is completely different. I actually don’t like the different colors of notes, but why would you change the format if the 2nd generation is working fine. I have not purchased the 3rd new edition since I have heard more negativity then positive. Thank you for sharing..🙏🙏

[@MarciaB_MLK]

Honestly if all they did was add color that’s fine with me, the older edition was perfect just in black and white.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

I think so too!

[@johannat6065]

Little note: there are 2 of the third editions available. One has the thumb index the other does not. I think its cheaper without on Amazon.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Maybe that's what I saw then. I picked the purple one because it was significantly less than all the other versions when I ordered it.

[@clarissaarevalo883]

Hello, Have you read the Chronological life application study bible? Which would you reccomend for a beginner? Thank you

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

No. I did go through a chronological study Bible in 2019 that my church did as a congregation. That version was KJV. My church bought a ton of them and were selling them for $10 each, so that's what I used. If I was just choosing a Bible to read through for personal devotions without any other considerations, I would go with the NLT

[@tarakristinafondevilla8691]

Hi. I am wondering if the commentaries of the NLT Life Application Study Bible is the same as that of NIV Life Application Study Bible. Thanks ahead! God bless you!

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Hi Tara, That's a good question. I don't have a NIV version, so I haven't compared them. I would think they would be the same.

[@jesussaves4317]

They're the same in all Bible versions for this Bible.

[@rosejacobs8529]

I have that purple one, I got the indexed version, I also purchased the personal edition, their the best study Bibles in my opinion, I have lots of others but keep coming back to these.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Did you get the personal size in the 2nd edition or the 3rd? The only personal size I could find for the 3rd edition is the hardcover

[@rhondayastro2136]

I have found the wording is more modern in language. I prefer the second edition. Wish they still had them.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Really? I hadn't noticed a difference in the translation between the second and the third

[@jillwilliams4656]

Thanks for the video! I have never owned a LASB but I’m planning on getting one. I’m interested in the KJV; it’s currently out in 2nd edition. Anyone know if they’re planning to update it to the 3rd?

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

That's a good question! I haven't heard.

[@jillwilliams4656]

I just found my answer: the KJV update is coming next year.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Awesome!

[@brendalucian6219]

The 3rd edition of the KJV LASB came out in 2022; I just bought a large print copy.It's pretty big,but not too heavy if I have it open in my lap while I'm reading it.I got the Leatherlike cover; it does fit pretty well in an XL Bible cover,if you want to protect it from flaking.

[@jreaves11]

Yes, I own a Life Application Study Bible (2nd Edition). I like it very much for several reasons: (1) The notes are among the finest I've ever read. They compare favorably with notes in MacArthur's Study Bible and the notes in several other study bible's I own. I am doing a research project entitled "Scripture Passages Which Mean Much To Me" Were it not for my Life Application Study Bible, I could not do this project in its present form. Yes, I own it and completely endorse it.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience in comparison with others! ❤️❤️

[@jesussaves4317]

Same here, James. I'm a big fan of the life Application Study Bible. The notes are so good.

[@unclejoe3397]

I'm really not so interested in commentaries as much as I am the study notes. The same? Different?

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

According to Tyndale, some are changed and they are expanded. I didn't notice that they were though ... but then there are a lot of resources. I did look more closely at the notes in Job, I didn't notice a difference

[@sheenafrederick6683]

Maybe they changed the actual footnotes. Maybe read a couple foot notes and see if they changed the info I’m sure their not all the same

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

That's a possibility. After I recorded the video I came across something that said that they rewrote a lot of the commentary to make it address more current issues

[@TyrekeCorrea]

Do you think enlarging the print in this third edition was an effort to minimize the setbacks of disability?

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

I think it might be just the difference between the standard and personal sizes. They do have a large print edition now

[@TyrekeCorrea]

@@RaisedtoWalkTV No. I mean the print size in the standard third edition is bigger relative to that of the standard edition of the second.

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

@@TyrekeCorreawell, the 2nd edition that I have is a personal size and the 3rd edition is standard. I didn't think to look at an old listing of the 2nd edition of the standard size to see if the font was the same

[@TyrekeCorrea]

@@RaisedtoWalkTV Naw. The editions compared in the video are the same size.

[@lisamorgan6433]

I have a life application study bible in kjv but I don't use it and I've had it for 3 years 😢

[@RaisedtoWalkTV]

Is it because of the translation? I really enjoy the NLT

[@lisamorgan6433]

@@RaisedtoWalkTV no I think honestly it's because it's a single column and there is lots of words in a line

@@lisamorgan6433 Hmm, interesting. Yes, most Bibles are like that now aren't they?
