The American Patriot’s Bible (New King James Version) is a study bible in which it really doesn’t explain what the scripture means or gives a possible way of applying it to a person’s life.  That is what I expect from a study bible.  This bible from Thomas Nelson Publishers is more a history book melded with a bible – in which it tries to show how the Bible influenced the creation and running of our country.  It is a novel idea and at times it is great but in the end you are left wanting more.  I particularly liked the section on the Great Awakening and the preachers that were involved in it and how it affected our country.

The quality of the Hard Cover Edition is well made.  It has a very readable font size.  I feel that the “American Patriot’s Bible” would have been served if it wasn’t a “Study Bible” but if the author had taken his research and made it a standalone book.  He then could have added more information and fleshed it out to a greater and more useful book.

As I said before, this bible would be a good supplement to see how the bible affected our forefathers and our country.  But as a standalone study bible it is clearly lacking.

I give it 2 out  of 5 starts.
