5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Introduction to The Bible, June 5, 2004

By	E. Brogdon "ernienet" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the perfect Bible for a new-believer or a non-believer who wants to learn about Judaism and Christianity. The book begins with "How To Read The Bible" and a topical overview. Each book begins with a unique introduction. Bible stories that are culturally or historically complex are provided contemporary retellings nearby the text. Recipes for Living help the reader understand and apply Biblical truths. Reading plans are printed in a different color so the reader can read 365 highlights in the order they appear in the Bible. There are also several 30-day reading plans in the back of the Bible for many interesting subjects. Inset throughout the text are quotes from a wide range of ancient and modern sources. There's so much more - unlike any Bible I've ever seen. I hope Pinon will release a softcover edition at a reduced price. I'd like to begin giving these Bibles away in large quantities!

4.0 out of 5 stars joyful experience, April 5, 2004

By A Customer

The translations in this version is a wonderful way to assist in understanding many of the stories and passages in the Bible. The addition of stories and quotes which relate to various passages give some wonderful insight and a touch of present day. The Chicken Soup folks have done a wonderful job of putting this together. The credits for the translation team include a long list of Theology scholars. The stories and quotes are not overdone either - as there are not too many to take away from the importance of the Bible. I have only read through segments of the 1500 pages (which by the way are thin and silky feeling - another nice touch!), but I love it so far. It's a beautiful book - but maybe not for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is GREAT!, April 22, 2004

By	"readbiz" (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic Bible! I love the New Living Translation because it's easy to understand. The Chicken Soup stories in this Bible really do help me understand the Bible stories. This is something I'm getting for my mom for Mother's Day. It's a Bible I'd give to people who don't normally read the Bible.
