 I have to admit that I don't own/haven't read this but... January 6, 2009
I am seriously disappointed in the fact that I can find an English Bible all day long for under $2 (at IBS) but an unreached people group (the Japanese) must pay upwards of $50 to get the Word into their hands!! I cannot even explain how much it grieves me to not be able to find a Bible which I can afford to give to my Japanese friend who knows absolutely NOTHING about the Christian religion. She told me today "Japanese people know NOTHING about the Christian religion. Because we didn't have an opportunity to study about Jesus." All I can say is SHAME ON US!! Christians for making it too expensive for a person to be able to read the Word in their native language! I am at my wits end, I do not speak Japanese and trying to explain the concepts in the English Bible to a non-native speaker is next to impossible. Once I asked this friend about Buddha: I asked "do you worship Buddha?" and she touched my arm and said, informatively "Buddha is dead". I want to introduce her to a God who is ALIVE!! But I cannot afford this!!
At least, if you read this, pray that $50 falls from the sky or something so that I can afford to purchase this text for my beloved, seeking, Japanese friend! In fact, pray for all the Japanese - that they can come to know THE living God!
Cheaper right from the publisher March 12, 2008

This is an excellent Bible. My bone to pick is that it is very large and heavy. We give it as a gift to our Japanese exchange students while they visit the U.S. It is invaluable in helping them to understand their visits to church. The problem is that it uses up a lot of their 50 lb. checked baggage weight limit, when they fly back to Japan. We worry that it is the first thing to go in the garbage at the airport when their bags are overlimit. There is another bilingual Bible, in small format, with no helps in back, but I haven't been able to find one since 2004. We bought it for $25 back then. Please email me if anyone has a source for it. Now, this version is the only one we can find, and it is cheaper straight from the International Bible Society [...].
The Magnificent Japanese-English Bible November 14, 2007

The Japanese-English Bible is so wonderful. I am a native-English speaker and am learning Japanese so it is wonderful to see English and Japanese translations of the bible side by side. The NIV is my favorite translation of the bible as well. it's hardcover so the bible last forever. there are two cloth bookmarks attached to the bible. i think every kanji has the furigana pronunciation above it. i was a little disappointed when i read "tomodachi" and only the "tomo"'s kanji was given since I have since learned the whole word's characters, but it is still good for me to know the pronunciation and what part of the word each kanji makes. this is a fascinating buy and it's something i don't regret!
This is the one October 9, 2007

If you are a native English speaker living in Japan or studying Japanese, and if you need the WHOLE Bible with side-by-side translations on each page, with furigana over the Kanji to show you how the Kanji is pronounced, then this is the Bible for you.
