Of course there are many versions of the Bible, but I find that King James version helps me to understand the written word of God. My King James version travelled many a provience to get to where it is today. It now rests on a shelf tattered worn and warm with age.My mother gave it to me, as her brother gave it to her, both times at the peak of adolescent growth. If it weren't for the tattered worn out pages, I would never had accepted it into my life. I was like the old pages; therefore, able to connect to the writing. Bibles of today are changed so much from the orginal text that it is scarey to think how some interpertation would change how I could relate to God. King James version is the solid rock of foundation to the old ways of God's people, never changing in time. My foundation became solid once those tattered, worn away pages were handed down to me from past relations. The word of God was best reveiled through this writing.

I was so happy with this bible. The illustrations
are beautiful. The print is large enough so I can read
without my glasses and the guides are very easy to follow.
I am very pleased that I was able to find this kind of
quality without leaving my home.
Thank You

This is a very beautiful keepsake Bible, with fantastic artwork!
I have a query about this Bible. The content page says that there are Bible maps after the concordance. But mine does not have it. I was just wondering if it is only my copy which is like that or is everyone else's copy also without the maps at the back. Would appreciate it very much if anyone could write an answer on this review page.
(I am unable to check with the publishers as I was unable to locate their mailing address on the internet.)

Thank you very much!!

Since my father was a devout Anglo Catholic, the "King James" was the translation I first read. In my opinion this translation is best read after one has an understanding of the scriptures. Remember, neither Christ nor the Apostles spoke Elizabethan. In my opinion, one should learn the Scriptures on something like the Revised Standard. (One that is plain and easy to read.) After one has an understanding of the scriptures, then this version is a beautiful study.

Not bad overall, but I mean, C'mon... who couldn't see that ending coming. And who hasn't heard of Jona before, and you think he wouldn't have stolen a story so well known as the Arc.

The King James version of the bible is, at best, a poor example of what can be done with the translation. While the bible is often said to be one of the finest fictions ever created, I beg to differ with this mainstream view.
In a nutshell, the beginning was boring and it has no real ending. One assumes the author(s) were hoping for another sequel after the New Testament. It is clear that the author(s) felt themselves restrained. A vast improvement would be to simply NOT gloss over the various begatings. Let the reader live with the characters, get into their skin. Had the author(s) only done this I might be able to be more enthusiastic. As it is, this is no more than a bathroom book for when I forget to bring one with me.
