5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bible and a handy concordance for a great price!, December 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: NIV Holy Bible, Textbook Edition (Hardcover)

This is no wimpy 'award' bible! I really like the textbook styling--the print is sans-serif and easy to read, the maps are great, and the concordance is much larger and has more word entries than you would normally get for a non-study type bible. The pages are tough enough to withstand note taking, underlining, and even highlighting with very little bleedthrough--a big plus.

5.0 out of 5 stars NIV Better Than KJV, April 5, 2004

This review is from: NIV Holy Bible, Textbook Edition (Hardcover)

The NIV Bible is in my humble opinion the best translation of the Bible because it's the most accessible. People who are new to the Bible find the King James Version daunting because of its outdated style. But anyway, the Bible is the Bible, and it will change your life and save your soul whatever the version, as long as it's faithfully and accurately translated from the original ancient documents.

There are many, MANY books, but the Holy Bible is the only book that really matters... matters most. It is the very Word of God, and its pages hold the key to salvation. It is eternal life. It is a manual "how-to" about developing a relationship with your Creator who created you in His image and loves you. It's also an invaluable history record of ancient times and God's direct role and intervention in human affairs.

This review is from: NIV Holy Bible, Textbook Edition (Hardcover)

For those of you who have read (or are currently trying to read) the King James Version of the Bible, this book puts each verse in common language which you are able to comprehend, read, and enjoy. Having never read the Bible before from beginning to end, I embarked upon the journey with NIV Holy Bible. I've learned so much and been able to understand what the scriptures are saying. In fact, I enjoyed reading this book so much that I purchased a copy for each of my children (a total of 3 more books). If you've ever felt that reading the Bible was frustrating because you couldn't understand what the scriptures are saying, this book eliminates that problem and enhances your spiritual journey. Enjoy!
