Biblical Commentaries by Joyce Meyer

So here are two books from Joyce Meyer. They are interactive Bible Commentaries. While some websites categorize the books as bible studies, they are not. They are commentaries that have room for you to jot down what you glean. The sections come at the end of the chapter called Personal Reflections. Joyce generally tackles passage by passage for each chapter in the book. For example, Ephesians 1:3 has its own section within chapter 1 on spiritual blessings (relating to the verse). 

The purpose of these books seems to be to break down these epistles for the general public. There are so many people who read the Bible who are not quite students (meaning having gone to seminary). You won't find root language break down in these commentaries, however, you will find a clear break down of the text. You will also notice that the main text in use is the Amplified translation (which is Meyer's personal choice and is the translation for the Bible she edited).

Normally I'd recommend these books as it helps with a basic understanding of God's Word. They are a bit on the expensive side for a single book commentary (more than I'd be willing to pay).  They retail for $20 each (you often can find a good commentary with ALL the books of the Bible in it for just a bit more than that).

And as always with anything by Joyce Meyer, use caution and consult reliable sources. She's been known to be inaccurate to the point of being labelled a false teacher (someone who sounds good but sound biblical study will show their lies).
