This is a great translation of the Bible but with the bill boards that appeared with God's saying on them -- along with a little explanation from God on what they mean. There are also illustrations that add to each verse of the Bible.

I am thoroughly enjoying the modern translation, and the suggestions on how to read the Bible to get the most out of each section. It has a great verse and page number section, as well as, index in the back. I also found the maps extremely helpful.

I would recommend this book whole heartedly!

I already had at home numerous Bibles mainly because I liked the study notes. But when I came across My Book---God, I had to have it. I have heard about the billboards and I have seen them on e-greetings, but never saw them in Chicago. But what made me get this Bible is that when I was flipping through the pages, familiar pictures were staring me in the face. I immediately recognized it as the Good News For Modern Man Bible---the second Bible I have ever owned, the first being a leather-bound Revised Standard Version that was given to me by my home church of 40 years when I was in 4th grade. The Good News For Modern Man was the translation that my church, a member of the United Church of Christ, used with the jr and sr high students back in the late '70s and early 80's, and I wore out my first copy to the point where it wasn't useable anymore. I have always kept an eye out for a new copy because I loved the way the text was written and how simple yet powerful the line drawings were. I have had seen editions since the original edition of Good News For Modern Man that had a distictive cover of grey copies of newspaper banners from around the world, including the Chicago Tribune's, but none of them had both the newspaper banner cover and/or the line drawings that I grew up with. When I saw this on the shelf with a sampe copy opened, I flipped through to the first billboard page, and as I was doing so, I saw my beloved line drawings. I have found again the beloved version of the Bible of my youth. I definately recommend this Bible to anyone jr high age or older.
