 The Best! January 16, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have acquired many Bibles over the years, but this one is the best by far. The CEV translation is the first that has brought the Word to life for me. The words are words that I use everyday and absolutely nothing is lost in the translation. The "reader helps" that are in the Learning Bible are basic enough for the new christian yet informative enough for an "old pro". This is a gem waiting to be discovered and I am grateful every day that I did.

Easy to read and understand. Lots of interesting facts. Great Bible for a new Christian to read and learn by.

First of all, let me write that I am a complete Bible newbie. I did a lot of research into different versions before settling on this one and I'm so glad I did. I wanted something that would be easy for me to understand. Even though this CEV version is easy to read, some of the Psalms and Proverbs are still not easy for a bible newbie like myself to comprehend (and I've been to college). I'm following the "Read the Bible in a year" and am actually reading more than a day at a time and then comparing it to other versions I have on my PDA. I bought the NIV Learning Bible also, but I'm glad I started reading the CEV first because to me the NIV is more difficult. Both Bibles are huge (2 1/2" thick) and very heavy (the packages weighed 5 pounds and it was all book) with tissue paper thin pages, but very readable (not really small) print. The articles and pictures in them are so interesting and I learn something new every day. I actually look forward to another day when I can read and learn more. :-)

This bible is great for getting a general ideal of the events taking place. It tends to play a liberal role of some subjects but overall I would highly recommend it for an understanding purpose.

I purchased this item as a gift; however, I own one myself, and it is the first time I have been able to be diligent about doing scripture study. There are guidelines in the back of the book for reading through the Bible in 1 year, but I have set a slower pace, which allows me to read and ponder at my own pace. I would recommend it to all who are interested in doing in-depth study.
