3.) Good place to find words for collages
4.) Great for raising a dust-bunny farm
5.) Impress all your friends and pretend you care!
6.) If thrown sideways, can do some serious damage

Summary: Oh, why not try reading it?
Review: An enormous number of people have opinions about this book. Some say it is the Word Of God, some say otherwise.I suggest this experiment for you (the person reading this review): just open up the book and begin reading it. Within 5-10 minutes you will have read the first two books of Genesis. Now go back and review. What did God create, and on what day? You will soon realize that the first two chapters of the Bible contradict themselves. That's not very good for a book which is supposed to be infallible truth. (Bible scholars attribute these two books to two different writers. They have traced the two writers throughout the Old Testament, clearly marked by the word they use to designate "God." One writer likes to call God "Jahweh," and the other writer uses another term, which is left as an exercise for you!) :-) It ain't necessarily so! :-)

Summary: an excellent value
Review: Sturdy and quite heavy for its size, this no-frills Bible is an excellent value, and would make a very good second or third Bible. Well constructed with an imitation leather look on the cover, the font size is not large, but it is in bold print, and very readable and easy on the eyes.
What it has:
A presentation page.
"Daily Bible Readings", giving a table of three systems for reading the Bible in one year.
A seven page history of the Bible, and how the King James Version came to be. First published in 1611, there were several subsequent revisions, and the version we read today is most like the 1769 revision.
What it does not have that you would likely find in a better quality Bible:
It has no cross-references, making it a poor Bible for study.
The words of Jesus are not printed in red.
It has no concordance.
No maps.
No ribbon marker. Many people use a modern language Bible for study, enabling greater clarity and understanding (and I recommend the New King James Version, or the one I have used for years, the Amplified Bible), but the King James Version is nevertheless glorious in its language, should be read at least once in a lifetime, and is invaluable for comparison of texts, and though I feel it is a sadly short-sighted view, some consider the King James Version as simply great "literature", comparing it to Shakespeare, and read it only for the beauty of its prose.
Due to this edition not having cross-references, it does not make a good primary Bible, but will be more than adequate as a secondary translation, and the King James Bible is a version one should definitely own. Psalm 66:19
King James Version: "But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer".
New King James Version: "But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer".
Amplified Bible: "But certainly God has heard me; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer".

Summary: ok, so i haven't actually read the whole book....
Review: but do you really have to read it all to realize that it's all make beleive? i find it kind of funny how some people have been writing reviews like it's a fiction novel you pick up at the supermarket.
i mean, first of all, this book was written by like 4 or 5 dudes. so we're suppose to be getting all this great information from these mythical figures "god" or "jesus" or whoever; however, these two fellas didn't even write the book! some other dudes wrote the book (mathew or luke or tom or whatever) and perhaps they saw "jesus" doing such and such thing or "god" told them such and such and they tell it like they saw it or how it was told to them (second hand info). so you're telling me that all this hoopla about jesus and god and religion and what not is filtered through the opinions of the 4 or 5 writers of this book? i mean, who are these guys anyway? can i trust them?
anyway, i'm probably not a good source for a review because i'm not even the slightest bit religious. however, if you're all into that sort of superstition stuff then you might like it. i mean, if you are the kind of person that will read one book and totally take it as gospel (pun intended...) then i guess you should pick it up. also, if you are seriously looking for meaning in your life and are unable to place your own meaning to it, then this book will tell you what to do.
however, i do have to give it some credit here: it does say a couple of good things. like: "don't kill people" "be nice to your neighbor" "don't steal" , etc. basically, if you can get past the fact that this is all make beleive, then it says a couple of good morals. kinda stuff i already knew though....

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This was the worst piece of fiction I've ever read. The characters were cliched and their actions were just unbelievable. A total piece of trash.

Summary: It's only caused problems.
Review: Why do some people insist this book changed their lives? i mean, you DO see how many times it contradicts itself, right? you do understand that it actually LIMITS thinking and puts you in a repressive box, right? almost everything in day to day life that bothers heII out of me has it's origins in this book. The Bible is thought tyrany that was used by the Romans to controll slaves. almost every repressive, weak-willed, ignoramous i've ever met claimed to be Christian. Karl Marx once said "religion is the opiate of the poor." and so it is. have you ever noticed that the smartest or the wealthiest people you've ever met were more likely not religious? you know why right? the only thing religion does is fill the void. from our late teens on, most of us have the nagging suspision that all of this junk CAN'T be true. but few of us actually FACE it. (i'm from the south, Babtist country *shudder*) my problem with this book, and organized religion in general, is all of the people who have had to die, all of the artists (and just people in general) who have been repressed and censored, all of the progress it has gotten in the way of. it's almost a sickness. have you ever noticed the glazed over look in the eyes of the truly zealous? it's frightening. these are people who would loose there minds if they didn't have a myth to believe in, and controll what they think. hey; try reading a book, exploring other lands, making love to a woman, buying a great album, loving your fellow humans, cultivating an interest in REALITY. do what you can now and stop living in the shadow of a tyrant, because, this is all we have. let go of the brainwashing from your youth. there may well be a soul, there may be some sort of "afterlife" (though i doubt heaven or hell exist)but some people put ALL of their eggs in that basket.... c'mon, FREE yourself! (by the way, please don't e-mail me telling me i'm wrong because your fragile beliefs are threatened and you're afraid of a vengeful God. most of you live your lives in fear and dull safety. it is I who pity you.)

Summary: Good, but I might look other places
Review: The King James Bible is the old standard for quotations. It has made many apperances in film telvsion and radio. Usually when the bible is quoted for an official, non church use, the King James is the standard. Being one of the oldest transaltions, and very poetically translated, it has been a favorite of quote books, Murder mysteries and christmas specials since the advent of quote books, murder mysteries and christmans specials. So if you want a bible to look at and occasionally read from, take this. If you want a more practical Bible go for a more contemportay translation, here are some common choices choices.
Catholics: NAS or Jeruselem
Conservatives (Baptist/Evangelical): NIV
Liberals (Presbeterians/Episcipalians): NRSV, CEV, TEV

Summary: Mmmm - Leather
Review: Apart from the leather, this book isn't really any good
It lacks consistency
Constant repetition yet also hypocracy of previous chapters within the same sentance
It's almost as if someone wrote this is some kind of a joke! Also, It's somewhat long. This is mainly due to the repetition, and the "bonus chapter" of Psalms at the end which are thoughtful passages about sheep and other gentle wildstock I think this "extra" is aimed at the Welsh The Old Testament is generally more entertaining than the New
there are a few events where the main protaganist "God" gets angry and knocks over a wall which kills 27,000 people Bit harsh I thought - But Entertaining But When we get to the New Testament this book takes a sudden change and plot. The new approach is to make the Book even more boring than before and to just have 10 identical chapters talking about "Jesus" - The new main protagonist who is the son of the old one "God" Less entertaining things happen such as not taking into account the need of food at a big Jesus seminar and then Jesus finding some fish to feed them and save the day. And something about him entering an anorexic stage and walking on water. I would skip this part. I think A better name for this would have been
"Testament Re-spawned- The Second Coming - New Generation"
But The "New Testament" was somehow chosen instead With a combined 72 authors working on this book I was expecting alot more for my £20. It's simply full of incorrectly organised sentances, made-up words and boring events Also, when I found out half of this book (the new bit) can be found for free in hotels inside drawers made me very angry
I feel like I've been conned Anyway - I turned the leather into a decent wallet for Father's day so All was not a loss. Overall rating - 1/5 But not in a blashpemous/sac-religous way.

Summary: Dull and hackneyed.
