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.

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.

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.

The Holy Bible is the most popular book and the best book of all history. It is the foundation of all truth, and teaches about the Lord Jesus Christ. All people should own a copy of their own Bible. The King James Version, while slightly difficult to understand, is extremely good!!!!

Considered a classic by many, the Holy Bible revisits thestandard theses of good vs. evil, God vs. Satan, communityvs. selfishness, etc. etc. etc. The Author, while offering fresh perspectives on many of these issues, fails to credit those whose work He relies so heavily upon -- especially ancient folk lore, Greek mythology, etc. Poor editing, however, leaves the Author's many elementary errors vulnerable to attack -- age of the Earth, evolution, mammalian biology, and so on. Had the Author brushed up on these topics before attempting to write about them, the book would have had a little more impact. As it stands, it is certainly an interesting starting place for further inquiry.
