The Chronological Study Bible NKJV is a very uniquely and cleverly
designed Bible. It has each of the Bible's events set up in a chronological
order throughout the Bible. It was designed with those that enjoy reading
things in order in mind. Of course, sometimes the Bible is hard to understand
because of how the events are laid out in the text. This Bible has the same
wording, just in the order that each writing took place.
When I received my package in the mail, I was super excited to open the package! I opened the package and was not disappointed. The cover is imitation leather with a stone color and navy blue. The pages are lined with shiny silver lining. There's also a ribbon bookmark, to help keep your reading place. I instantly began flipping through the pages and began trying to figure out how this Bible was different and how I am supposed to navigate it, since I knew it would be different.

I was greeted with a Table of Contents that showed me each of the
"Epochs" that this Bible is divided into. Instead of being divided by
each book of the Bible, this design is divided by each epoch. There's nine epochs.
After the Table of Contents there's an Introduction and it tells
a little about where this design came from and how it is accurate. There’s also
a page or two explaining the origins of the New King James Version.
Throughout these pages, there’s illustrations of timelines and art that really set the mood of the text. I’ve enjoyed looking at the pictures while reading the text. I thought the pages were thick, at first. Then I realized I was skipping pages, because they were sticking together by the lining. I’ve had to peel apart the pages. I enjoy doing that, because it’s the sign of a new book. I can see how it would frustrate others, though.
At the beginning of each epoch, there’s a brief explanation of why it is the next epoch. It tells you about the time frame and what’s going on during that time era. I enjoy learning about the setting, while reading the Bible. It helps me understand things more and it fulfills my need for being detail oriented.
At the end of this Bible, there’s a very informative section called the Cultural and Historical Topics. This section is filled with certain general topics that you may be needing to find and it has the page numbers, plus a description for you to find just what you’re looking for. There’s also the Concordance and the Index of Scripture Passages that’s filled with helpful guides to find exactly what you may be looking for in the Bible.
There’s a Daily Reading Plan that guides you completely through the Bible in one year, or two years. It gives you the option and a plan for each. The very last pages of this Bible are covered with maps from that time.

I have enjoyed this Bible, so far. The only thing that I don’t like is that
there aren’t any red letters for when Jesus is talking. I am able to look past
that, though. I cannot wait to use it for my studies and be able to deepen my
studies with all of the new information about the time frames and additional
areas this Bible gives information about! I recommend this Bible for anyone
that’s a visionary learner and for those who really enjoy order!
I was given this Bible by BookLookBloggers in exchange for an honest
review.
