    <body><![CDATA[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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>(Disclaimer: As a blogger I received a free review copy - no requirement to give it a positive review, just for the reviewer to call it like they see it.)]]></body>
