Summary: SIMPLICITY FOR THE CURIOUS OR THE NEW CHRISTIAN
Review: BEING SOMEONE WHO HAS SINCE CHILDHOOD, ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THE KING JAMES VERSION, AND TO SOME EXTENT, THE LATER TRANSLATIONS OF THE BIBLE, I WAS PLEASED TO FIND A TRANSLATION THAT WAS SIMPLE ENOUGH TO NOT SCARE ME OFF. AS I COMMUTE SOME DISTANCE EACH DAY, THE AUDIO VERSION IS PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS. THE NARRATOR GIVES JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF EMOTION TO THE READING TO HOLD YOUR INTEREST AND LEAVE YOU INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE. IT STIMULATED MY CUROSITY TO THE POINT OF PURCHASING A STUDY BIBLE AND JOINING A BIBLE STUDY GROUP TO LEARN MORE. WHETHER OR NOT A PERSON WOULD WANT TO PURSUE THE BIBLE FURTHER, THIS TAPE SET IS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR THOSE WHO, LIKE MYSELF WERE TURNED OFF BY THE COMPLEXITY OF MORE TRADITIONAL TRANSLATIONS. IT IS A GOOD WAY TO INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Review: I bought this as a gift for a brother in Christ, who accepted Jesus recently. unfortunately, he cannot read very well, so this was the perfect gift. He has grown immensely in his knowledge of what the Word says and seemd very happy with it.Ordering another copy for my wife, who needs it for her drive home commute!! God bless you all...get to know Jesus before it's too late.
If you wanna know how, contact me.

Summary: I Love This Bible
Review: I must say that this translation was a long time overdue. This brings the greatest Book in history to today's English. It's easy for non-Christians, new believers, and refreshing for mature believers. As someone who has studied the KJV all of my life, I found this reading enlightening. There are no problems in understanding the meaning of any verse or chapter in this great Book. Pass this one along--it changes lives.

Summary: Bible reading for Generation X!
Review: I used to force myself to read the traditional version of the Bible, but now I am excited to read "The Book" because it is written in everyday language that I can relate to. Bible reading has become fresh and exciting!

Summary: Finally! A verson that can be read & UNDERSTOOD!
Review: I'm a generation "X-er." I went to study the Bible at a theological university, and, of course, they used the KJV (King James Version). True, the KJV can be read & understood, but ususally with the aid of many theological books, beginning first & foremost with a Strong's Concordance. The Book eliminates the need for other books (or a seminary degree) to understand it. The Bible can now be read as God intended it to be: a common person can pick it up, read, and understand. I definitely recomend The Book to all believers: young and old. Finally! A version of the Bible written in OUR language! (And if you ever have the chance, take a look at the origional language of the KJV!)

Summary: I Love This Bible
Review: There are a couple of the things I love about this Bible and the first thing is how easy the New Living Translation is to understand. It brings me closer to the Lord every time I read it. The other thing I love is the format - it's not two columns of text like most Bibles, but it's like a regular book. It's much easier to read and not as distracting as two columns. This is my favorite Bible!

Summary: Great on Cassette
Review: With my family's busy schedule, listening to the Bible on tape is a great way to spend some time meditating on the Word of God. I have bought other cassettes of the Bible and the narration was dry and boring. Mike Kellogg does an excellent job as the narrator, his voice and tone is pleasant and easy to listen to--and he does NOT put me to sleep. I think this the best narrated version of the New Testament I have heard yet. We listen to it in the car on our way to school and soccer and church...it is great and has been a blessing to my family.
