I love the idea of parallel Bibles, especially when I saw the KJV and the Amplified, my two favorite translations together.

I orderd the "Large Print" version, but was shocked that it is the same size print as my other regular print Bibles. It is not large at all - in fact the print is tiny, and it is light grey, not black. I have a large-print Amplified Bible that is really large print and easy to read.

I rechecked, and the Bible does say "Large Print" on the cover and on the inside, so unless this Bible is defective, what they call the "Large Print" version is not really large print at all. I thought that this might be useful for people to know.

Not only do I find the parallel versions of the bible truly a blessing in understanding the scriptures, but for me, the parallel KJV and AMP version was a great decision! I was always taught from the KJV version growing up, when going to church or participating in bible studies. Sometimes I seemed to have a hard time getting a deeper understanding of some of the words. And, recently I've been learning a lot from Joyce Meyer, and I find that she uses a lot of the Amplified version in her teaching and explanation of the bible. What a blessing to find a 2-in-1 bible with side-by-side scripture comparison, and I can read from one version and refer back to the other right on the same page! It's amazing to think that I can hold on to the part of my chilhood when KJV was so familiar to me, and to have a deeper explanation and easy-to-read version. I'm so thankful that I was able to find a bible that my husband and I could read that would help us both get that deep, meaningful understanding that makes reading the bible so eye-opening for us!

I have had my bible for two years. I have found it to be one of the best, if not the best, translations of the Bible. The convenience of having the KJV and the Amplified together is great. This is a must for those who like the richness of the KJV but also desire to have the original text meanings included in the Amplified. I say this is a must have!

I am satisfied with this purchase! It makes my sermon preparation & delivering sooo much easier!! Even with my studying it greatly helps that the scriptures are side by side!

It's very much worth purchasing if you want an AMP/KJV Parallel Bible.

The things that I was NOT satisfied about with this bible is it does not have a presentation page to put your name on so I suggest having your name engraved on it if ever you'll need proof of ownership. It doesn't have a dictionary that gives a definition of the words. And the pages are REALLY THIN so you have to be careful when you turn the page.

If you have trouble reading small print and need what the call large print...I think you'd find difficulty with this font size.

The amplified is an absolute must have for gaining a deeper understanding of the Word of God. The only thing is, the Amplified's words are not always in the Strongs Concordance. Of course the King James versions words are. So the KJV coupled with the Amplified is great for really studying the Bible. There is also two small concordances for each version. I love this bible!

The reason why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is not the Big Print Bible that they advertised. Otherwise this is a good bible.

I knew both translations and knew what I was buying. The look and layout is excellent and exactly like the discriptions. I am very happy with this purchase.

This bible is an excellent study bible. The amplified version offers a clarity without taking away from the kjv text! There is also companion scriptures that accompany the amplified verses. Great bible!!!

I love this Bible. KJV/Amplified Parallel Bible I have several different versions of the Bible, and this is my favorite. When I study the Bible I first read it in the KJV, then in the Amplified version. They run side by side, which makes it easy. It then becomes clear as to what I am studing. It is a big help in Bible class each week, as it helps in my understanding of what is being taught. This will be my Bible that has all the markings, and writtings in it, that speak to me the most. You can not go wrong in getting, or giving this Bible.

this book has changed my life I now have a deeper understanding of God's word and can apply it to my life more diligently
