In the final analysis, application is not just about understanding how a biblical text embodies principles that are still relevant to the complexities of modern life. Application is about understanding how a biblical text leads us to experience Christ and live Him out in the complexities of modern life. Not just how does this text relate to my situation, but how does this text relate to the experience of Christ.
I was also encouraged to see maps, character summaries, such as Cain and Noah, and significant notes explaining unfamiliar and meaning-laden phrases throughout the text. While there is still plenty of life application here, it also digs into the background, word translations, and related scripture verses.
I also really liked the additional call out box under Psalm 14, addressing the themes of troubles and complaints that arise throughout the Psalms. Simply knowing that these are common themes can be helpful in both study and application.
I have been privileged to be involved in some amazing publishing projects over the course of my thirty-plus years in the industry. But for sure one of my favorites and most life-impacting was in the early 1980s: a partnership between Tyndale House Publishers and Youth for Christ (where I worked) to create a brand-new kind of study Bible.

I was so happy to start using Life application study bible notes right along with my e-sword. Posting my bible studies online and sharing them has become so much more easy and my readers are understanding God's word better with the foot notes from LASB

I recently loaded e-Study onto my pc and have been thrilled with the application. I teach a Sunday School class and e-study has been a great help in lesson preparation. I recently added the Life Application Study Bible Notes to my e-Study library and have found it to be a great help. All of the Bibles and commentaries in e-Study are excellent and so easy to use. I am anxiously awaiting e-Study for android! Thanks for making this great tool and these great resources available. God Bless you and your ministry!
I am so blessed to have the LASB notes on my laptop and computer. I've an online ministry and people Skype-call me or email me with questions. Now I can quickly go at e-Sword and find the right answers, instead of taking the big heavy bible study book with me wherever I go. I thank eStudySource for this precious resource. e-Sword is a real blessing for Gods Kingdom and for every believer who want to know more of who God really is.
As an european woman, I know several languages and so, I love the different bible-languages that I can read. Maybe soon, I can find a second and newer netherlands bible (NBG.)..who knows?...*smile*
The maker of e-Sword and all around him, are really Blessed and I keep you all in my prayers. I know you all are so Beloved in God's eyes.
As a teacher of Preaching courses in the former Soviet Union I highly recommend to my students that they use this resource to stimulate their own thoughts for application of Scripture to their lives and to the lives of those who hear them teach and preach. It is an excellent resource for anyone who is serious about taking his Bible study to the practical level of application. Try it and you will love it. I do.

Reading, studying, and reflecting on the scripture can speak to us in new and unexpected ways throughout our life. Today we are reading one of my favorite parables, The Mustard Seed. I would identify it as one of the rocks in my faith foundation. It connects me to my mom and my dad, it centers me when I become uncertain, and it guides me as I share God with others.
I first became familiar with this study Bible when our cousin Merle gave a copy of it to my mom along with a note. Mom was fighting cancer, and as she continued through the months, this Bible became her companion, and she would occasionally share something from it with me. After her death, I opened this Bible and found some of her thoughts those final months. The words spoke to her and they speak to me. They speak to each of us through this earthly life.
