I have had many bibles through the years but none have compared to this one! This bible is easy to read, easy to understand, and a pure joy to read. The comentary on the verses is beautifully blended with the art work of Precious Moments, and the full color pages of Precious moments art with scriptures is absolutely beautiful, and inspirational. i recommend it for anyone!

My mom bought me this bible for my first communion four years ago. Even though I am 15, I still read it, because I find it easier to understand.

I bought this for my son for his baptism. It is something I hope he will cherish someday.

... so I'm doing both. The highest (or lowest) form of kitsch meets the lowest (or highest) form of misappropriated fantasy.

Shaking head, laughing sadly ...

My favorite aunt gave me my Precious Moments Bible many, many years ago, and although I have gotten several Bibles over the years this one has always remained closest to my heart. Yes it is written for children, but it is also a Holy Bible containing both the Old and New Testaments in The New King James Version. This edition was first published in 1985 by Thomas Nelson Publishers. The Bible also includes additional questions which would be great for a Bible study class or Sunday school. And there are little stories interspersed throughout the books which detail and describe some of the verses and chapters. There are black and white illustrated Precious Moments drawings on many of the pages as well as full color pictures on glossy paper which include accompanying Bible verses throughout. All quotes directly spoken by Jesus are in red. And at the very end of The Bible there are several important passages, such as The Ten Commandments and Psalm 23. There is also a glossary which not only defines many words but also states the correct pronunciations. And there are several pages which include common questions that children may have (such as "how often should I pray?") with verses from The Bible which answer all of these questions. The outside cover of The Bible is beautiful looking, it is a very light pastel green. Even though it has writing in it and is worn and some of the corners are frayed I cherish my Precious Moments Bible very much and look forward to one day passing it along to my children.

If you will compare this "Bible" to a true New King James translation, you will find it is a mixture of New King James and original King James version, and will also find added words that are NOT IN ANY OTHER TRANSLATION!! Check Matt. chapter 2 for switching back and forth from one to the other, and look at Judges 16: 27 and find added words not found in ASV, KJV, NKJV, or MKJV. I don't know where they came from, except someone thought they sounded good. Not my idea of a faithful translation.

I paid for 2 day shipping I did not get my item for 2 weeks.
