5.0 out of 5 stars Reader Friendly Bible, January 12, 2000

This review is from: The One Year Bible NLT (New Living Translation) (Paperback)

This is an incredible version of the Bible, the world's best selling book. It will help you to know God better; if you are a Christian. It will help non-Christians understand the Bible, because it is formatted into sections of the Old and New Testaments, Psalms and Proverbs. It also is in today's language, so understanding is simpler than other versions of the Bible. A good book to read every day for devotions and daily inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Ever!, May 25, 2001

This review is from: The One Year Bible NLT (New Living Translation) (Paperback)

The format made it enjoyable to read through the bible daily. It is the first time I have read it cover to cover because I just could not get past some of the harder to read old testament books. While I knew much of the new testament by heart, there was so much bible knowledge I lacked. I have been so blessed by this book. It has changed my daily walk with God. The NLT version was easy to understand and I felt it spoke to us in this age. I often referred back to other translations and found it to be an accurate account in it's meaning. I have given this bible to a couple of my friends and they are enjoying their experience. I have also recommended it to many of my friends. I highly recommed it for anyone who has a desire to read the bible cover to cover. Especially those who have failed in the past with a traditional bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to get through the Bible, a little at a time!, March 9, 2000

This review is from: The One Year Bible NLT (New Living Translation) (Hardcover)

Three years ago, my daughter and I decided to read the Bible in one year. It was the first time all the way through for both of us. My daughter had the One Year Bible (NLT) in hardcover which we had given her for Christmas. And I had found this plan printed up in Brio magazine, so I just read the same passages in my study bible.

This year our church's pastor challenged us to consider using The One Year Bible to get through it in one year. I decided to do it again and this time I am using the One Year Bible/NLT and my husband is using One Year Bible/NIV.

I feel that the format keeps things interesting. A passage from the Old Testament, one from the New Testament, something from Psalms and a snippet of Proverbs each day. I am finding even more stuff that I missed the first time around! Amazing how the Bible is really "alive" and when you read it at different stages of your life, different passages impact you that you might not have noticed the time before.

Rather than flipping around in the Bible, this book has the 365 daily readings nicely laid out for you. However, the only downside to this is sometimes you might not really be keeping track of what book of the Bible you're reading! That's very easy to do, especially with the short books both in the Old and New Testament.

Another nice feature of this Bible is that for each day's selections, a passage is in bold type -something to pay special attention to.

This method is great for someone who wants to read the Bible through, but doesn't want to go from Genesis to Revelation. Reading Mark's gospel really makes it easier to get through Leviticus!

I'd highly recommend buying "The One Year Bible Companion". The subtitle is "Questions and answers to help you make the most of your daily Bible reading". There are 4 questions and answers per daily reading. Also, the Companion lists the passages to be read for the day at the top, so you could read in this order but with your own Bible. The questions help illuminate some of the somtimes confusing OT passages. The Companion also has brief introductions for all the books of the Bible.

A bonus about "The One Year Bible Companion" - the cover is a very durable plastic-like cover. It's very durable and flexible. Just another added feature. And of course, it's available from Amazon! That's where I got mine! :-)

Happy Bible Study, everyone!
