In the shopping area outside of the "Abraham to Jesus" exhibit, I came across two study bibles: the TNIV Study Bible and the NIV Archeological Study Bible, both published by Zondervan. I linked both titles to their respective Amazon.com pages, if you would like to see them.
Most of you would probably enjoy the Archeological study bible the most. It is full of pictures and related materials, interesting articles that fall within the purview of archeology. It's a lot of fun simply flipping through the pages just to see what there.
I really want to commend to all the merits of the TNIV Study Bible. It is a tremendous resource in a single volume. It's built around the TNIV (which frankly is the best text currently available). It has over 20,000 study notes (which are very helpful). It has an abundance of maps and diagrams. It contains the largest concordance ever bound with an English bible. AND, it contains superb introductions to each book of the bible. The intro's are easy to read and quickly move the reader beyond the surface of the text to the deeper theological issues at hand. If you are stagnate in your quest to know and understand the words of Scripture, this will help you immensely!
You can buy this thing for $30 on Amazon.com. If you don't have an account or for any reason cannot order online, let me know. I'll make it happen for you, I really want you to have one.

I ordered the books, and read the article. My question about the article, why???
Glad to know you are getting the study bibles--you will not be disappointed.
About the article--why???...what? I need a bit more specificity before I can reply.
It could be that you did not relate well to the article. I am fairly sure (based upon what my wife says that your wife says,etc,etc.) that feeling guilty about sexual pleasure is not one of your hang-ups. And, that is a good thing!
