5.0 out of 5 stars
Sue Curry, April 27, 2007
This bible is perfect for my requirements.
I love the New Living Translation second edition for reading the scripture. I much prefer it to NIV, TNIV, or the Message. For study, I would refer to several versions, probably the NLTse, NRSV, NIV and NAB.
I love the One Year format. I have tried many times to read the whole bible but always failed. This bible is organised so that each day's reading is marked by the date. Each day's reading is in easy bite size chunks of the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. Therefore, even if I miss a day or two I can jump right back into it by going to the reading for that day.
I love the "New Believer's" commentary. I am not a "new believer" but I could sure use a refresher. Each reading from the Old and New Testament has a brief introduction. Then each day's reading has a short commentary focusing on an important point a Christian should know.
I love the hard cover because it allows me to read in bed. I previously used the Catholic version of the NLT One Year Bible in paperback. The cover was so flimsy that it was hard to hold the book open while reading in bed. However, the paperback version would have been fine if I were reading elsewhere.
The font is large and clear so I am able to read without strain. Overall quality of the book and paper is good.

makes Bible study easy, January 31, 2007
This review is from: The One Year Bible for New Believers NLT (Paperback)
The format in daily readings makes Bible study easy and flow more fluidly. I've enjoyed reading this version and have also shared it with my mother so we can be reading the same readings even though we are far apart. Makes my New Year's resolution of reading the whole Bible in a year doable!

Wonderful!, January 22, 2008
This review is from: The One Year Bible for New Believers NLT (Paperback)
This is wonderful! I have tried many times to read the bible but I always got frustrated because it was hard to read and understand. The way this one is set up is great and it feels a little less overwhelming as far as the thickness goes due to it being seperated into days.
