Rating: Summary: Readable, but a Paraphrase Review: A hip packaging of the "Living Bible," a paraphrase of the good old KJV. As such, it not only shares the KJV's textual shortcomings, but exchanged the ambiguity for readability. Not a good study Bible, but one I managed to cruise through, cover to cover, begats & all, when I was 15. It's a trip everybody in Western culture should take at least once. This version makes it far less daunting than it used to be. 5 stars for readability. 2 stars for the quality of the text. Several more modern translations, such as the NIV, make much better compromises....
Rating: Summary: Great Bible Paraphrase for Today. Great for life application Review: I really enjoy THE WAY. it is truly a great bible. i find that it is really easy to just sit down and read. Which is what i think the bible is really supposed to be like. I find that THE WAY puts verses differently then other bibles. it is easier to get the meaning. Hoever for an indepth Bible study i would want to tell you that using a paraphrase can run you into some problems, but i haven't found any yet. I would really like to see more people with these at Bible Study.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME Bible to pick up and read and grow. Review: This Bible is truly great to just sit down and read. It is set in east to read language and the verses are clear and easy to understand, i really like the book headers. And i would Highly recomend this for youth, who want to grow with God. I wish i would see more of my friends bring these to Bible Study.
