Study and Devotional Aids
 
Something I have found helpful with my personal devotions is the line of Bibles out now.  I have both the Women's Devotional Bible and the Women's Devotional Bible 2 by Zondervan.  Also available are the Men's Devotional Bible, Mom's, Senior's, Teen's, and College students.  All are in the New International Version, but eh Women's Devotional Bible 2 is available in other versions as well.  I believe the Senior's is also available in King James.  You should find them easily at any Bible book store or most secular book stores.
