5.0 out of 5 stars cheap Bible that offers good parallel translation, December 6, 2008

The book is basically the free Bible that most missionaries give to chinese. Good translation that has parallels. It is also good for a chinese person trying to learn english, as it has direct translation right next to Simple Chinese (which most mainland uses that also speak Common Chinese/Mandarin) which now everybody in mainland China reads, even though in some southwestern provinces that have traditionally spoken Cantonese they can use a Cantonese Bible(Traditional Characters- used in canton/Guangdong, Taiwan or Hong Kong), They all now speak Common Chinese(Mandarin) and all can read Simple Chinese characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bilingual Bible!, August 29, 2009

Love this bible! I am just learning to read characters and the print is clear and easy to read for both languages. The print is a bit small, but if it were larger, it would make the bible too big to comfortably carry. The pages are not too thin (like some bibles). I highly recommend it!

We have an exchange student staying with us from Shanghai, and she had no Bible. I wanted to find her one that had English and Chinese side by side. There are very few to chose from and I wasn't sure what to look for. But the reviews of this Bible seemed very positive, so I ordered it. And I was very pleased and so was my exchange student. The font size is readable, and the side by side format is very easy to follow. The paper is very thin, but so our most Bibles. I liked the fact it was the NIV translation, most of the other Chinese/English Bibles I had seen available were KJV or similar. I had hoped to find her an "attractive" Bible, but barring that disappointment, this was the perfect Bible for her.
