Alexander Maclaren Study Bible (Review & Giveaway)



Few preachers in the nineteenth century rivaled  Alexander Maclaren. Called the “Prince of Expositors,” Maclaren was considered one of the best preachers of his era, acclaimed for offering remarkable biblical insights in a poetic style.  


The Alexander Maclaren Study Bible invites you to learn from his powerful insights as  you explore the Scriptures. Study notes drawn from his more than 1,500 published sermons illuminate every chapter of the Bible. Passage outlines based on his sermons guide you in a systematic study of key texts. Short notes encourage you to apply the Bible to your life and see Christ’s relevance to all Scripture.  


Who was Alexander Maclaren? 

 

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, on February 11, 1826, Alexander Maclaren was the pastor of Union Chapel in Manchester England from 1858–1903. The popularity of Maclaren’s published  sermons rivaled that of Charles Spurgeon, helping him develop global acclaim  for remarkable biblical insights delivered in a poetic style. Maclaren’s works  continue to be read and studied due to their timeless relevance, verbal beauty, and profound freshness. 





Features Included


Book introductions exploring each book’s background and key themes with insights from Maclaren’s work.  


1,400 study notes that cover every chapter of the Bible.  


380 Christ Connection notes showing the relevance of Christ to all Scripture. 


380 Life Application notes to help you live out the Bible’s principles. 

209 Passage Outlines based on Maclaren’s sermon outlines.  


8 essays addressing major doctrines of scripture, personal devotion to Christ, and how to properly apply the Bible to your life.  


Comprehensive concordance and index of features.


Bottom of page study notes.  


Center-column cross-references. 




I adore all of the features listed above for several reasons. Mostly because it cuts down on having to have extra resources if I want to find a cross-reference or read a commentary on a particular subject. As I use this Bible, I am finding it easy to not only glean from the scriptures directly, but to also quickly find additional context and understanding using the tools provided on each and every page of this Bible. I appreciate the timeless truths that Alexander Maclaren penned years ago that a new generation of believers can easily and effectively learn from today. The Life Application notes and Christ Connections are an added bonus!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too!    Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
