4.0 out of 5 stars Easily understood version in a compact package., February 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Good News Bible: Today's English Version (Paperback)

The Good News Bible, second edition, is an easily understood account of the life and times of Jesus and his followers. One cannot say more than that. This is a great gift for young and old. Maybe you are just looking for an alternate version to supplement your bible study - this is the bible for you. In addition, this paperback edition is compact and very portable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good translation, September 9, 2003

mc - See all my reviews

This review is from: Good News Bible: Today's English Version (Paperback)

I think this Bible version is better than the NIV (New International Version). It also seems to be fairly accurate even along with the King James Version. I disagree with some of the reviewers who gave this version only one star and criticism. The King James is far from perfect as well. I use both the Good News Bible and the King James in my Bible devotional time. Translation is a difficult task (I know, I've studied languages in college). So any work that is an attempt to help bring the Gospel to someone deserves at least some credit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Bible Translation, May 11, 2000

JS Faubert - See all my reviews

This review is from: Good News Bible: Today's English Version (Paperback)

The wonderful thing about this excellent translation is that both adults and children will easily understand the plan of God for their lives. Even people for whom the english language is something they are in the process of learning will benefit greatly from using this translation.

Reading this book can save your life from an eternity apart from God.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
