5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever!!!, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Holy Bible: People's Parallel Edition (King James Version/New Living Translation) (Hardcover)

The best of both worlds. The beauty of the Authorised Version with the accuracy and easy-comprehension of the NLT. The presentation is also nice; a royal purple cover with high-quality tan endpapers. Words of Christ are in red. A wonderful bible for educated persons who love the literary quality of the AV, but worry about inaccuracies or changes in language.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best Bible I've ever owned!, April 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Holy Bible: People's Parallel Edition (King James Version/New Living Translation) (Hardcover)

I like having the KJV and the NLT side-by-side! I get the understanding of Modern Day English along with the time tested Authorized Version and it really brings out LIGHT on many issues. I recommend this Bible to everyone who desires to do serious Bible study.

This review is from: Holy Bible: People's Parallel, King James Version and the Living Bible, Burgundy Bonded (Hardcover)

The comaprison of the two texts on the page is wonderful. I believe the King James Version is the best for intensive bible study and The Living Bible is more readable and up-to-date in the language of our day.Check out the Love chapter I Corinthians 13:4-6 Living Bible "Love is vry patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices when truth wins out." I usually notice when others do me wrong....how about you?
