Rating: Summary: Hmmm... Review: A couple years ago I decided I wanted to read the Bible in its entirety, and this was the edition I bought. In some ways, it was perfectly designed for my purpose: daily readings were broken out by calendar date, with selections each day from the New and Old Testament, and from Psalms and Proverbs. True to my goal, I read the thing, sometimes getting behind and sometimes doubling up to finish it in the allotted time. And, it was a great feeling to have done it. I'm not sure without the 365 format I would have stuck with it. And, yet, once I was done I felt the need to start all over, because reading the books broken up in the way they are left me feeling a little unclear. I'm not sure everyone will have the same reaction I did, but I would recommend this format mainly for those who are already familiar with the structure and sequence of the Old Testament. The New Testament can be read out of sequence... I'm not sure the OT can.
Rating: Summary: The best translation! I love it! Review: Forget the NIV translation with its clunky English. This is the one to get. The NLT version reads as easily and SMOOTHLY as a magazine article and is 100% accurate. You WILL understand this version. You may find yourself reading much more daily than you had planned to! Before I found this, I was using a 12 page (!) Bible reading plan chart, bookmarks, and index tabs to do my daily Bible reading. Now, all I do is flip open to today's date and there is a selection from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and a verse or two from Proverbs. You get a complete spiritual reading meal all on 4-5 pages. I bought two: one hardcover for home and one paperback version for my office in case I am stuck there late (I do my study after dinner). Get this.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Book Review: I disagree with the person calling themselves a Reader from Hell. I really doubt that person ever read the Bible or any book for that matter and as far as character development goes, this is God's Holy word not a comic book. I'm also disappointed in Amazon.com for even paying lip service to an individual like this. Pay no attention to them. This book along with the Companion is a great set to buy. You won't go wrong and it will most certainly help you in your faith walk.
Rating: Summary: Very Easy to read Review: I loved this format on this particular book. The days were easy to ready and understand and they matched the Old Testament to the New Testament. There were several days that I got wrapped up in the readings that I contunied going. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has tried to read the bible in a year or even sit and try to read it straight through and failed.
Rating: Summary: Excellent book. Review: I was looking for a copy of the Bible that was simple to read. This practical book definitely delivers with its good print and modern English translation. It makes you really appreciate the meaning behind the words. It is so well-written that it reads as fast as a bestseller novel by John Grisham. Worth getting for other people.
Rating: Summary: practical, organized and easy to understand Review: I've really enjoyed reading The One Year Bible. Each day is laid out specifically for the reader, with the Old Testament and New Testament readings, so that one doesn't have to search what the Scriptures are for the day. The reader just turns right to today's date and begins reading. The translation is current and easy to understand compared to some other translations out there. I would recommend this Bible for anyone who has gotten out of the habit of daily reading or who doesn't understand their current translation.
Rating: Summary: A Universally Appealing Author Review: Most American households have bibles yet they go unread. This bible brought God's word from the bookshelf to my heart. The daily arrangement is easily digested and balanced with new and old testament readings. The New Living Translation is wonderful because the message is in plaion English!
