A Must for Fathers and GrandFathers and Fathers to be!!!, October 27, 2007
The Bible is the New Century Version which some would say the greatest story ever told! It is broken up in pieces so you understand what you will be reading! With notes of what a father should be, by Robert Wolgemuth through out every situation, it is indeed a very explanatory Bible!
The pages through out each story are made to look like an older book, but what it actually is, is it looks like the Gold edges bleed through out into each page! Very easy to use, pages flow in a way that you don't want to put it down! I have 2 of these Bibles, so I always have one at 2 of the places I live! Get the Green Leather Bond Edition! You will not be sorry!

Nice gift for Father's Day, June 9, 2010
This review is from: Dad's Bible: The Father's Plan (Hardcover)
With Father's Day just a little over a week away, this is the perfect time to consider the Dad's Bible, New Century Version, with study notes by Robert Wolgemuth.
Although I was not especialy impressed with the NCV translation-it was simple to understand but lacked the flow and poetry of some other English language Bibles-Dr. Wolgemuth's comments helped me understand the Bible in a fresh way.
For instance, in his introduction to the book of Genesis, Dr. Wolgemuth writes, "[A]lthough this may be hard to comprehend, you're a patriarch, too. Many years from now, your name will be familiar to a myriad of offspring. They'll remember your gifts and your flaws, your successes and your failures. This is amazing...and it's true."
This Bible includes notes sorted into the following categories: walking in authority; Godly character-thoughts based upon the fruit of the Spirit; passing it on-how to share your faith with your children; dads in the Bible; building your children; insights-how to apply the Bible to home and work; Q&A; and a topical index.
It is distracting that these notes don't always appear on the same pages as the passage upon which they are based. However, they helped me apply what I read in the Bible to my role as a father to my children.
This book is a great gift for the special dad in your life. Just don't plan to use it as a daily use or study Bible.
Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this Bible from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for an unbiased review.

The Fathers Plan!, January 6, 2011
The Fathers Plan is a great book! It's very educational and after reading this you really start to grasp things a little more in detail. The translation of the book I wasn't impressed so much. However, there were many parts that spoke out to me about sons and daughters. It doesn't really interrupt the book at all. Which I was surprised how the Author had put in the book. I can really relate in the aspect. After reading this book I gave it to my father as a gift. Not only did I enjoy reading this book but he did as well and so far has loved all the messages that it gives. I would highly recommend this book especially those who are looking for a good father's day gift or a gift to a father for a birthday or any holiday.
