4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this one for your friends., October 18, 1999

This bible really spells it out. It walks you through the steps of becoming a Christian. It explains everything from "Who Jesus Is" to how to "Share Your Faith" using bible references. It is very easy to read. The translation uses modern English without changing the meaning of the KJV of the bible. The only downfall that I found is that the words of Christ are not in red. This would be a great purchase or gift for any new believer. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars a very readable Bible, April 25, 2001

This review is from: New Believer's Bible: First Steps for New Christians (New Living Translation) (Paperback)

Of the six or seven different editions of the Bible I own, this one is the one I use on a daily basis. It is written in very plain and straight-forward modern English, is well type set, and for the most part well annotated. As has been mentioned elsewhere, some of the supplemental commentaries represent the opinions of the editors, so they can be taken at times with a grain of salt. This would not be my first choice on research for Biblical interpretation. Typical of most editions, this one does not have the Deuterocanonical Books or the Apocrypha, so this should not be the only Bible in any believer's library. As a means of having a reasonable modern translation of the original texts, however, this book is very recommendable. It is also priced very fairly. There is also a separate edition of the New Testament, but I would suggest investing in this release. I have spent many wonderful hours reading the Psalms, which are a highlight of this edition, Deuteronomy, and Jeremiah, and have never enjoyed the Old Testament this much until purchasing this Bible. Recommended with enthusiasm.

I have not finished this bible but it was given to me as a gift from a stranger working at the Christian book store. I was there to by a bible and did buy the NIV Study Bible. Something I said, did or gave off signaled that I was seeking clarity and a way to have the passages of the bible presented to me within context of particular subjects, heaven, hell, marriage, children, etc. This bible does it wonderfully. It allows me to explore what is on my mind and follow the signs that come to me, the bible is cut into several navigation paths and is an absolutely joyful way to discover Christ in an exploratory non-threatening way.
