4.0 out of 5 stars You Will Enjoy The American Patriot's Bible, June 13, 2009

This review is from: NKJV American Patriot's Bible (Hardcover)

I have never posted a comment before in my life; however, after reading some of the comments regarding the American Patriots Bible I feel compelled to share a couple of quick thoughts from a regular guy. Give it a rest already! My wife and I have purchased three AP bibles. We are giving two as gifts (one to my 86 year old father in law and the other to our nephew who is a Navy Lt Commander in the Middle East). The third one we are keeping for ourselves. We won't use it as a study bible or carry it to church on Sunday (we have a well-worn NASB for that). Instead we'll keep it in our family room, along with other books. I've already read through the many stories and accounts in the AP bible that focus on people and events that helped shape our country and how God and His word helped shape their thoughts and actions. Not once did I feel compelled to wrap myself in a flag or go out and buy a gun. Nor did I become hypnotized into believing God's word was written only for Americans, that America was God's Promised Land, or that God loves only Americans. And the simple fact is the vast majority of other regular guys and gals who purchase and read the AP bible will feel the same way. Some of the high-minded bloggers who have gone to great lengths to speak negatively of the AP bible, and condescendingly to those who would dare to offer a different view, remind me of the youngster in the school yard who would stand there with his arms folded, stomping his feet, screaming "Listen to me" to anyone within earshot. Creating a big fuss - yes. Being overly dramatic and annoying - definitely! For those of you contemplating whether or not you should purchase the AP bible, may I recommend you not be swayed by the comments of those who act as if their hair's on fire. Check it out for yourself. I am confident you will fine that it's a fine bible with interesting accounts of people and events that contributed to making America great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did you even look at it?, June 15, 2009

I am amazed at the number of reviewers who don't like what this Bible might be, or looks like, or could potentially be. I just want to ask if they've taken the time to look at it. I've only seen one negative blogger who seems to have cracked the cover. His prevailing belief seems to be that Christians should stay out of politics. Ironically, his state just elected a comedian as their senator (jokes on him).

I own one, and have opened it, so I can actually speak intelligently about it.

For a Christian who is interested in American history, it is a great reference tool that brings to light what many would seek to erase. Simply that this country was founded on Christian principles. People can try to deny that; but just take a look at your money, your pledge (yes it still says "under God" with a big "G"), and nearly every monument in Washington. I have yet to find subjective commentary in this Bible, just fact. We can dislike fact, but that doesn't change that it is, indeed, fact.

There is no claim that Christianity is uniquely American. There isn't a reference to an "American Jesus". There is no party endorsement. There are beautiful illustrations, maps and historical documents that I found very compelling.

I'm happy to see this in print and proud to own it.

The American Patriot's Bible is chock full of interesting facts on American history. It is a New King James version, which is okay, but I personally would have preferred a New International Version or an English Standard Version. The only other thing I would change with the Bible is to have thumb tabs...simply a personal preference of mine! The texts are easy to read and I enjoyed the mini history lessons inserted in the beginning of sections and books in the bible. This bible is certainly set up to provide a family history in the beginning and could easily become a family heirloom. The bible includes pages to record births of children and grandchildren, the family tree, the family church record, special family history, ancestors of interest, Military service records, and family deaths. There is a comprehensive subject index dealing with outstanding characteristics of the American patriot, a decent sized concordance, and colorful bible maps to end the bible out. I would certainly recommend this bible for homeschooling families.
