Review: This book is perfect for those who have a hard time understanding the Bible! It seems like you have to learn a whole new language to read the Bible and this book puts it in todays terms which makes it soooo easy to read. I have had other knowledgeable Christians compare it to the Kings James version and they love this book! I absolutely recomend this book to anyone who is having a difficult time interpreting other Bibles. This book leaves nothing out, it just puts it in easier terms. Great for Christians of all ages and especially good for those just coming into Christianity, regardless of denomination. Enjoy and God Bless!

Review: Those who believe that the (real) Bible is God's word should avoid this and similar "loose" translations (e.g. the Living Bible) like the plague. The sponsors of this translation are apparently afraid to let you read an exact translation; instead they give you their own interpretation "that tells you what it means." If you believe that the Bible is God's word, and you can't read Greek and Hebrew, then you should read a version produced by experts in Greek and Hebrew who have tried to translate the original texts as precisely as possible. This here is a theological interpretation, a paraphrase, claiming to be something it is not. If God made the Bible confusing, then surely He had a reason. These people want to "simplify" it to make sure that you agree with them.
