The Blackaby Study Bible takes a unique perspective among all study Bibles. It is for people who want the focus of their study to be on encountering God. Throughout this Bible you will find historical accounts of encounters God had with others – encounters God wants to have with you and me.

Knowledge of principles and doctrines is important, but experiencing the God that created them is even more important – and it is the only thing that is life changing. This study Bible was created by a family of Biblical scholars headed by Dr. Henry Blackaby, best known for his book, Experiencing God.

The Blackaby Study Bible teaches us how to have a daily encounter with God. The Encounter Notes, Explanatory Notes, Historical Encounters, Character Studies, and Word Studies are all designed to help the reader have a significant encounter with God every day.

The Blackabys share with readers a unique Bible study method that has enriched the lives of tens of thousands in unusual and inspiring ways. The emphasis is on a personal and daily experience with the God of the Bible. The variety of helps encourage each of us to be in the Word daily, expecting great things to happen as we engage with God.
