5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Translation, July 31, 2004

I ordered this Bible a few weeks ago and I am happy to say, "I love it!"

This is perhaps the most accurate and precise translation I have ever read. It reminds me quite a bit of the OLD American Standard Version (1901), but without the archaic language. The translators have followed the Hebrew and Greek very closely, and because of this many things are brought into the light that other translations - especially the dynamic equivalence versions - have missed.

Also, I am not a member of the Local Church movement, but I do appreciate the writings of Watchman Nee. I haven't read enough of Witness Lee's writings to form an opinion as of yet. The Recovery Version Bible that I have does not contain Mr. Lee's study notes. All this said, I am still very impressed with the precision and accuracy of this translation. It is truly outstanding. My only wish is that the publishers would offer it in a premium leather, such as calfskin or cowhide, rather than just bonded.

5.0 out of 5 stars The search ends here!!!, November 8, 2002

If you are a pure-hearted truth-seeking Christian, you would easily agree this is a real masterpiece of Bible translation and interpretation, which reveals many hidden devine thoughts in understandable language. It'll be the biggest loss in your quest for Bibilical truths, if you passed this book just because someone left a bad review with a purpose to defame the author. My suggestion is stay open-minded and experience yourself the riches in this book in an unbiased way. It will withstand the most stringent scrutiny and, more importantly, nourish your hungry spirit beyond your expectation. Enjoy it!

Like most people who have read and reviewed this Bible, I love this version because it is an accurate and clear translation. The couple of disenting reviews does not appear to represent the book in anyway. Perhaps those reviewers need to actually have read the book before they write their reviews? This book is simply a faithful translation of the Bible, the Word of God. It is a Bible I have come to love and enjoy. Anyone saying that it is full of "original" thoughts/philosophies of a particular man must be joking or must be completely ignorant of the Bible- or else he would have inevitably noticed how closely the Recovery Version follows the Greek/Hebrew original text, word for word, not more, not less. How is a translation of God's Word so exact a particular individual's personal thought/philosophy? No proper believer can say that without offending his conscience. God's Word is not W. Lee's word, mot anyone's word ... but simply, God's Word, His rich and supplying Word. This is how I feel whenever I read this Bible and I testify to it. Hallelujah!
I rarely bother to write reviews for products I use - but I love this one enough to go through the trouble. I really enjoy this simple and faithful translation. The book has helped me enjoy and get to know the Lord. It is truly enjoyable and accurate. It is truly a gift and a blessing from the Lord. I am SO grateful!
