 poor package April 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The bibles I ordered are for my friends. I have my own for long time. The package was poorly done and the dust covers were damaged and I feel bad to present to my friends as a gift. Wish you can do better in packing the books.
Accurate restoration of God's name April 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Disregard the nay sayers who have rated this bible under 4 stars. They have no grasp of what an accurate translation is. This is the most accurate, easy to read bible you will ever see. It restores to the text the name of God in the seven some odd thousand times it appeared in the Old Testament (or Hebrew scriptures). This fact can be easily confirmed with the Strong's Concordance. It transliterates the word "Sheol" in place of the King James words, "Grave, Hell, and Pit". This lets the reader make up his or her own mind regarding the controversial subject of Hell, avoiding any outside, sectarian bias. It contains few distracting and unnecessary references which would serve only to keep the reader from learning God's word in a natural, undirected way, absent of religious influence. Buy it. I believe you'll be happy you did.
Great Translation March 4, 2008

Wonderful translation that uses modern English. It is easy to understand and the translators seek to emphasize the meaning of the scripture more than its exact literal translation. It preserves the divine name in the Hebrew texts (Yahweh) but fails to use it in the Greek texts. It includes the apochryphal writings which is good or bad depending on your view of these writings. I truly enjoy reading this translation.
Easy Reading December 24, 2007

The Bible is the most read book in the world. But this particular translation is in our current English Language, not an old translation. It is easy to read. The material is good and the size is ideal. God Bless you all!!
 very nice October 31, 2007
Very nice and easy to understand. My one complaint is that if I use a highliter marker, the paper is thin and the marker 'bleeds'. Other than that, this is a wonderful Bible.
