The Holy Bible KJV, April 4, 2000
This review is from: Holy Bible, King James Version (Paperback)
The Bible by itself is a good and valuable book. The KJV is a good version to study. As a teacher I was looking for an economical text for my students. I was disappointed that, while inexpensive, this edition has no concordance, index, dictionary, or study guide.

The Word of God itself, June 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Holy Bible, King James Version (Paperback)
Many people still think that we should be born with a manual about how to handle life. Well, The Bible is that manual and lucky are those who possess it because in it you'll find the answer to every single problem you'll face in this life and the next. The word of God is alive and current 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. If every other book in the world fails, read this one. Its not only entertainning but a blessing itself. If you find it hard to read, there are many other books that will explain to you certain passages of the Bible, Another way is that you ask God to help you understand it, afterall he is the One who inspired its many authors. In the Bible you'll find that there is a God and that He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

All That and More, April 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Holy Bible, King James Version (Paperback)
Many reviewers have not been suitably impressed with this work. A massive work, it is rare for a reviewer to read the work in its entirity. What we often see is a case of a reader finding ideas that they find troubling and not finishing the book. I myself have abandonded many books for such a reason. However this one was different as something kept drawing me back ot it. After forcing myself though the 2nd half completely, I began to grasp more fully the nature of this excellent work. Full of irony and forshadow, it takes us on many twists and turns from Eden to Patmos all the while developing one central theme. However, it is by no means in a linear fashion and only the most alert of minds will not get lost as stories are retold often from differnet points of view. Also adding to the spice of this work is the occasional appearance of portions that seem to bear no importance to the rest of the story and only begin to fit when the entire work is consumed. The Author seemed aware of these difficulties as near the conclusion, we find a character who is told "Take it, and eat it up" in reference to a book. The character finds the book to be sweet in the mouth but bitter in the belly. To be so wholly in command of the nature of ones own work is a sign of superior writing. A powerful and lasting work in its own right, this work has seen fit to inspire countless others to greater things than they might otherwise have found. Life imitating art some would say as this is the very nature of many of the characters we find within its pages. A tremendous story matched only by how well written it is upon a careful reading. Like so many symphonies of Mozart, it is the essence of balance and symmetry. Never too many words or too few, always the right amount to give the precise effect desired to the reader careful enough to study the delicate nuiances of this tremendous work.
