5.0 out of 5 stars The New Living Translation, Slimline Reference Bible, December 3, 2001

By

The New Living Translation is quickly becoming my favorite version of the Bible. I started out reading the King James many years ago, moved to the New King James over fifteen years ago, and have also used the New American Standard extensively. Every version of the Bible offers certain benefits, whether of accuracy or readability, but I feel this version offers the most well rounded of them all. While I am certainly no Greek or Hebrew scholar, I have found it's renderings, for the most part, very accurate and eminently readable. It should be remembered that Jesus himself is the Word of God, and no translation should be looked at as perfect. If a particular version draws you closer to him, and brings God's word closer to home, than I'd say it's the one for you. This one is becoming the one for me.

This review is from: Slimline Reference Bible NLT (Black Genuine Leather) (Leather Bound)

I bought this Bible because I was looking for a small Bible to carry with me everyday that related the scriptures in a truly easily understood way. I refer to it as my "bookbag Bible." The writing flows well, and it has a lot of reference tools packed in a compact, easy to use edition. My only beef is that I've noticed, as a student of Greek, that the translators don't always cling to the original text. So beware of using it for in-depth study. Overall, a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Easy to Read Translation, March 31, 2000

By

If you have struggled to try to understand scriptures and want a Bible that is an actual translation (not a paraphrase like the Living Bible), written in a way that makes you keep reading...THIS IS THE BIBLE FOR YOU!

I struggled with the King James Version for years. Now, I am able to finally enjoy the Bible for what it is...THE WORD OF GOD!

The slimline is compact enough to easily carry around. With its leather cover, it is an excellent value. I Highly recommend the NLT to the New Believer and to those who are looking to "freshen up" their Bible studies.
