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.

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!

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.

The One Year Bible, New Living Translation, makes daily Bible reading a pleasure because it is an orderly plan that gives the reader a passage from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, & Proverbs to read each day from an easy to understand, but still meaningful, translation (NLT). What is amazing to me is how one day's readings will relate to and enhance the understanding of the passages from the other parts of the Bible for the same day. It took me 15 years to read through the Bible the 1st time, 5 years the 2nd time, and I am now on my 3rd reading. It never gets old, but more precious.

My entire family has a copy of this book because we have so fallen in love with the way God's word is written (in this specific version) and the way the readings are layed out. There also are areas of commentary that help to better understand the readings. Even though there are a couple of new believers in our family, a lot of us have been Christ followers for a long time. But, we all are benefiting on our walk with God reading this book, as the word of God can touch people no matter where they are on their spiritual journey. I highly recommend this version of the bible in a year, as I have grown tremendously in my own understanding of the Lord by reading it.
