 Excellent Bible for daily reading. August 11, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an excellent Bible for daily reading, devotional use, etc. The CEV translation is easily read, enjoyable (even in the Old Testament!), and understandable without being a paraphase (liek the Living Bible is). It can take some time to get used to for people who are used to other translations, such as the NIV or others. This specific Bible containcs book introductions/backgrounds, plenty of in-text character profiles, historic information, etc. It also has a great deal of life application information - addressing the Christian walk in all aspects of life from church to home to relationships to work. There are a few things I would say against this Bible. First, the nature of the translation does not lend itself to ACADEMIC study (exegesis, etc.). Also, when a portion of Scripture is quoted somewhere else (i.e. the New Testament quotes the Old), there is no footnote to say what book, chapter, and verse it refers to. This can be annoying, as one must use another Bible to look this up. Overall, I believe the combination of this translation and the study articles make this a great Bible for most Christians. Amen.
 Awesomely Interactive Visual Bible March 21, 1999

This Bible was incredible with its first release in the NKJV, however now that it is in the CEV,a language that flows for the reader and listener it can become even more alive. Great for "Seekers" as well as for new Christians who are hungry for the WORD of God and want to do more than simply read but live out in daily life. Great reference and study tool as well for Sunday school, small groups or self study to get "into" the lives of the people of the past living in that pivotal time.
