The Henry Morris Study Bible

About the Bible

The Henry Morris Study Bible is “an invaluable tool for the defense of the Christian faith” according to Dr. John MacArthur. With over 10,000 study notes, no other resource offers the comprehensive analysis of biblical creation and authority of Scripture as this one presents.

The written Word of God is under attack in our culture like never before. The annotations of this King James Version of the Bible will:

  • explain the Bible’s difficult passages
  • resolve its alleged contradictions
  • point out the evidences of its divine origin
  • confirm its historical accuracy
  • note its remarkable anticipations of modern science
  • remove any doubts about its inerrancy, authority and ability to meet every human need.

This 2,215 page uses a 10 point font and a two column format making it easy to read. Inside you will also find the Words of Christ in red, 22 total appendices, full color maps and a concordance. The hard cover offers an noble and gentle design that both men and women will find attractive. The professional smyth-sewn binding gives this reference tool a life that will span generations.

Dr. Henry Morris is known as the father of modern Creation science, the founder of Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and the author of many well known apologetic books. His thriving legacy continues to equip Christians to be able to defend the accuracy and authority of Scripture today.

My Thoughts

I will admit that I am not too excited about this Bible simply because it is a King James version.   I always have trouble with that specific version of the Bible and I still have not gotten my head around it yet.    I’m sure it is a well made version as I know that numerous Christian throughout the world trust it and only read this version.  But for my this old English way of reading is just too much – English is my second language…

But I will take the time to explain the benefits of this Bible as best as I can.  Dr. Henry Morris himself has undertaken the task of incorporating the annotations found in this Bible.   Every day for a period of 60 years, he has study the Bible and came to the conclusion that it was the very Word of God.   He considered the histories authentic, the science accurate and the wisdom found in it to be of highly importance for living well.     The annotations in this Bible will explain the difficult passages, resolve the contradictions often mentioned by people, point out to evidence to its divine origin, confirm the historical accuracy, demonstrate how the prophecies were fulfilled and hopefully remove any doubts about its inerrancy, its authority and its ability to meet our needs as human being.

The Henry Morris Bible also support the literal Biblical creation account which will help the reader to understand earth history with scientific understanding.    Also, this Bible follow a literal approach to the Bible.   Essentially, this Bible has been put together in the hopes that it will help many Christians to be able to better defend their faith and stand on firm ground when facing adversity in their beliefs.  

I have read some of the annotations found in this Bible and found them historically sound.   I particularly like the fact that you also learn about various ancient practices when you read the notes.   I am not sure that at this point in time I am reading to read a KJV Bible but I am quite  impressed with the quality of the notes written but he “Father of Modern Creationism”.    I am sure this Bible will be very useful for us as we learn to defend our faith as we continue to learn more about God.  This Bible is quite thick and contains red lettering for highlighting the words of Jesus Christ.

The True Account of Adam and Eve

true-account-of-adam-and-eve The True Account of Adam & Eve
Written by Ken Ham
Published at MasterBooks

About the book

Where mankind’s history began impacts how our future will end!

  • The biblical answer to the question: Were Adam and Eve real people or just generic references for all of mankind?
  • Explains the connection between original sin and the gospel
  • Emphasizes the importance of Adam and Eve as literal history to young and old alike

When you unlock the door to biblical compromise, the door gets pushed open wider with each generation. The Church is now debating the validity of Genesis as actual history, the reality of hell itself, and even if Adam was a real person. Trying to change the biblical time-line to fit with the secular concepts of millions of years has led many in Christian academia to reject the literal interpretation of the Bible itself. Perfect for children, the book helps them discover the truth about the first man and woman, and how their disobedience led to the need for Jesus Christ.

My Thoughts373212_235636363124693_379226038_n

Last Friday, I officially embarked on the Moms of Master Books review crew.   I’m excited because I really love the books from Master Books and I am the first Canadian to be part of the team I think.   Having said this, the first book that I am reviewing for Moms of Master Books is The True Account of Adam & Eve which I had received the previous week.  As a homeschooler and a Christian, I find it important that my kids are able to decipher the truth when it comes to the Bible.   Unfortunately, at this time and age, you often hear that events from the Old Testament were just stories to teach you something.   I wholeheartedly disagrees with this way of thinking but at the same time I believe in teaching my kids both sides of the coin since eventually they will be exposed to the secular thinking.  Doing so, I hope that they will be able to defend their faith and have clear thoughts about the Biblical account.

This book is perfect for any family wanting to discover more about Adam & Eve and what happened during their life on Earth.   It starts with the Biblical account of Creation and from there it explains in clear terms why sin entered the world and how God had a plan to save everyone who believes in Jesus.  The illustrations are stunning and will open your mind and eyes to the real truth of the Bible.   My 11 years old son particularly liked the garden illustration in the middle of the book and the fact that you can open these pages to discover the result of the disobedience to God.   I really like the illustration showing the generations from Adam to Noah.   For each member you can visualized the age when their first son was born and the age of the person at the time of his death.

The other section that I have enjoyed reading is the page and illustration of how it happened that we have 7 billions of people today based on the size of Noah’s family.   As we all know from the Bible, after the flood there was only eight people on the Earth as everybody else had died.   Could the population have grown so much in the past 4300 years?   The answer is YES.   If the population doubled only every 150 years we could easily reach the numbers we have today.   I find it fascinating that by simple calculation we can arrive to this conclusion.

What this video to learn more about the book.

As usually I am very impressed with the quality of the book from MasterBooks.     I know that when I have one of the publication in my hands that my kids will get the Biblical perspective of the subject covered.   I completely trust their books and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get a strong Biblical worldview.  This book is a perfect addition to our homeschool personal library as it covers Biblical history as well as strengthen our faith.
