Rating: Summary: My New Favorite Book Review: The Bible isn't new to me, not at all. But this version is just a delight. Yesterday I discovered I love the last two chapters of I Chronicles. Go figure! Unless you're reading the Word systematically, you sure wouldn't expect that. This is such an easy-to-read, user-friendly blessing, that I've bought more copies for friends and family. After a few quick pages of the Old Testament, you get a page or two of the New Testament, then one psalm, and a couple of verses of Proverbs. Before I'm through, I feel that sweet connection with the Holy Spirit. How good is that? It's about as good as it gets!

Rating: Summary: The Best Ever! Review: The format made it enjoyable to read through the bible daily. It is the first time I have read it cover to cover because I just could not get past some of the harder to read old testament books. While I knew much of the new testament by heart, there was so much bible knowledge I lacked. I have been so blessed by this book. It has changed my daily walk with God. The NLT version was easy to understand and I felt it spoke to us in this age. I often referred back to other translations and found it to be an accurate account in it's meaning. I have given this bible to a couple of my friends and they are enjoying their experience. I have also recommended it to many of my friends. I highly recommed it for anyone who has a desire to read the bible cover to cover. Especially those who have failed in the past with a traditional bible.
Rating: Summary: A great way to start the day! Review: The format of this One Year Bible is great - an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, a Psalm, and a Proverb. It makes for a diverse daily encounter with God and the New Living Translation is a wonderful translation for gaining the same impact the original readers had when they first encountered the text. Being framed in everyday English, the translation is easy to understand and for me, God speaks to me through this great translation. I would recommend this Bible to anyone who wants to read the Bible in a year.

Rating: Summary: Must Read Review: The New Living Translation makes understanding the Bible much easier for today's readers. We all should be constantly reading the Bible and this makes it easy, my only problem is the print is smaller than I would prefer.
An easy way to read the Bible through without getting bogged down reading books that are "heavy" in geneology.
Rating: Summary: This is the Bible for you! Review: This Bible has changed my life! I have tried on numerous occasions to read the Bible through and I always end up getting mired down in all the geneologies and laws that I end up quitting somewhere around Exodus! I saw an advertisement for this Bible in a magazine and went right down to my local bookstore and bought it. I haven't put it down since! The New Living Translation is so user-friendly that even a child can understand it! Each day's reading is dated but if you're like me, once you start reading this Bible, you'll end up reading 4 or 5 passages a day instead of just one! This Bible is a must for anyone who has ever wanted to read the Bible through. Trust me, there is a way and The One Year Bible is it!
Rating: Summary: Books and chapters can be hard to find Review: This Bible is written in plain and simple English, so it's easy to study and understand. You read a portion from the Old Testament, the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. The only problem I have with it is that everything blends together. The books aren't at the top of the pages and the chapter numbers are in very small bold print, which can be hard to see. I also think it would've been nice to have Jesus' words in red and also the words of God in purple or something. I like the way it's set up though, with the options of one- and two-year reading plans.

Rating: Summary: Perfect way to get in touch with God for everyone. Review: This is a great way to read and learn the bible. It breaks up the books perfectly, giving you a little of the Old Test., New Test., Psalms and Proverbs. If you've always heard that God speaks through His Word but never understood it, get this book and read it daily - you'll be amazed!
