5.0 out of 5 stars EASY TO READ
I have never read a Bible that is so easy to read in English and the paper qualilty and fonts are just the right size. I believe it is the best Bible ever produced in modern English. Buy this Bible for yourself and then purchase one to give as a gift. I use this Bible for my writing research then cross-reference with a King James Version for the final draft in my...

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware: It's an anti-patriarchal paraphrase with gender-neutral language
This is an excerpt from Michael Marlowe's review of this bible:

The CEV is very careful to steer readers away from the "sexist" interpretations found in all English Bibles prior to their generation. Besides the regular use of the new gender-neutral language (e.g. avoiding translation of "man" and "he" in thousands of places), it features many dubious...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!!, August 22, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Promise Bible God's Words in Your Words (Comtemporary English Version) (Paperback)
The Promise Bible is just wonderful, it is the contemporary version of the Bible and it lets younger students of the word understand it more clearly. It is truly a shame that it has gone out of print, because I need another hardcover for a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, December 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Promise Bible God's Words in Your Words (Comtemporary English Version) (Paperback)
Well, I just pick up my copy of The Promise last week at the local bookstore. I'm an handicapp person been looking for an easier Bible to read and I finally found it. Ever since last Wednesday, I haven't been able to put it down I started from scratch cuz I don't want to miss those good descriptions.. Both of my Pastors recommend this Bible. It's even easier then the regular Good News Bible English Version that we use at our church.what I don't like in the other versions when they fancy words like Domestic or Relations at times I forget what they mean. I want to thank the Arthur for coming up with a whole new easier Bible I would recommend this Bible to all my handicapp friends as well. Thank you for coming out with the Promise!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Translation, November 6, 1998
This review is from: The Promise Bible God's Words in Your Words (Comtemporary English Version) (Paperback)
This Bible is so easy to read and understand and written with great "intent" so you really get the underlying message God wants you to understand. I have recommended this book in my forthcoming book, God of Miracles (Publishing date: 3/99). I have purchased many of these books and given to friends and unbelievers so they can read the Bible, and they certainly do so with "The Promise." I strongly recommend this book for all those who really wish to "understand" the Word of God and have fun doing so! James Russell/author

This review is from: The Promise Bible God's Words in Your Words (Comtemporary English Version) (Paperback)
The Bible is a compilation of stories - written and translated over 2,000 years ago. Readily available Traditional Bible versions are sometimes hard for the early learner to understand and digest. This Promise Bible, Contemporary English Version, delivers the stories in easy to read format, perfect for the beginner interested in learning The Word. Great for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars POWERFULLY RICH, September 6, 2001
This review is from: The Promise Bible God's Words in Your Words (Comtemporary English Version) (Paperback)
This Bible is the easiest to read and understand. I would recommend that every believer gets a copy of this Bible, especially ministers and teachers of the Gospel. Personally, I love reading and I just cannot get enough of it. What I like most about this Bible is the biblical promises it hightlights. To me, I only wish that I had more copies to pass around to friends. It is that good!

I love this Bible. I have bought 6 for the junior high girls at my church. It is easy to read and makes the Bible understandable for all ages. The language flows and is not stilted or artificial. I highly recommend this translation regardless of your age or reading level!
