5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Testament, November 6, 2006

This review is from: Becoming 2: The Complete New Testament (New Century Version) (Biblezine) (Paperback)

First, I don't feel that "repackaging" the Bible in a different format is sacrilige. It was only a few hundred years ago that the Bible was solely copied onto individual scrolls. I am inclined to believe that the clerics of that time were horrified that the Bible was "lumped" together and made accessible to the masses. With that in mind; I have purchased five of these books, for my nieces and some young ladies that I mentor; as well as for myself. I find it to be a very good translation, and it is a way to get women who may not otherwise read the Bible to pick it up. As for the complaints that it talks too much about fashion, make-up, and relationships, I must point out that the "regular" Bible talks about all of those things also. The side bars that mention those topics always refer the reader to the passages that the information is taken from. Most young people (and some "old" people for that matter) do not realize that the Bible talks about all of those things, and then some. No, we are not to bring Christ to people on "their terms," but we must always remember that Jesus himself ministered to people and taught in ways that were relevant to them. If there is any doubt, refer to the fact that Jesus did 99% of his teacheing via parables. It is very important to make sure that people know and understand that while Jesus won't accept them on "their" terms, He will accept them as they are - imperfect human beings. My opinion is that if these Biblezines will get one person to read God's word that wouldn't have ordinarily read it, or if one person who has read other Bibles can read this and have a new understanding of God's word, then these Biblezines have served their purposes.

My friend introduced me to the Biblezine and brought it to me to read. Having seen lots of versions of devotionals and Bibles, I didn't expect to be impressed, but I was. This is the perfect companion for someone who just has a few minutes at a time to read scripture and apply it directly to your life. I have found it to be conservative, but practical, insightful and aware of today's challenges and issues. I will be buying many copies as gifts for friends for Christmas, birthday or any other reason over the next year!

I love the idea of sending it to prisons. It's perfect for that. Must buy a few more!

I mailed this book to 6 women at Arizona State Prison. It was a huge

hit!! This is not your Grandma's Bible!! This new translation of the New Testament is very easy to read and understand. The articles are very touching and relevant. The quality and color pictures in this book is wonderful. The inmates are starved to look at any thing with color.
