My take on this book:

The Spiritual Renewal Study Bible is perfect for someone needed to recharge their spirit. I really like the size of this Bible, it isn't overly thick or heavy. There isn't a presentation page with this one, which is something I always look for. I like that the font is a nice size which is easy on the eye, while I liked the brown print, on what I would consider a cream colored page  I wish the print had been a bit bolder, my copy looks a bit washed out. A great plus is God's words are written in red, something that I always appreciate. There are several useful features with this Bible such as plenty of study notes, as well as spiritual discipline profiles that are ten page articles that describe how certain Biblical characters employed various spiritual disciplines. The spiritual disciplines devotionals will help with spiritual renewal. Anyone who needs a plan on how to grow in your faith might find the Spiritual Renewal Study Bible useful, in my opinion it's the perfect Bible for starting your spiritual journey. A great gift for a new christian or anyone looking to grow in their spiritual walk with God.
