5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic 'first' bible for any child., November 17, 1999

By

This review is from: NIV Childrens Bible (Hardcover)

What I liked most about this bible was that it was a 'real' bible. It was not paraphrased into cute litte stories, but had the exact words in the exact order as any adult bible. The print was a little larger and the were illustrations scattered throughout the entire book along with maps and a dictionary.

My nine year old daughter, who is autistic, loved this book when I gave it to her. She was able to read it on her own at night and she was also able to follow along with the scriptures read during church services on Sunday. However, she left it at church and the bible was never returned. I have been looking for another copy of this bible for about three months and I am estatic that I was able to get this bible at Amazon.com. Now I can replace the bible that was not returned and put another gift under the Chrismas tree at the same time.

I have shown this bible to a co-worker whose husband is a minister, she wants to get them as Christmas gifts for the children who attend her church. If you want your child to have a bible, this definitely the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE version to read, March 16, 2000

By 

Sean Riley - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holy Bible - New International Version (Paperback)

I found out about this version of the Bible when I was about sixteen years old, and ever since then it has been my choice of Bible.

This version of the Bible is far easier to read than the King James Version, which was antiquated about 300 years ago.

What is significantly different about this version of the Bible over the others is that this version was translated from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, rather than being a "translation of a translation", as other versions are.

Also, the translations were reviewed by members of all the major denominations, to ensure that no one verse favors any sectarian bias.

If you read any Bible for study or inspiration, this version is the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for everybody in the world, November 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Holy Bible - New International Version (Paperback)

Excellent translation of God's Holy Word. Great for those who aren't "up" on their Shakespeare. For maximum benefit, I read this along with the King James to cross examine the two translations.
