4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Bible?, July 7, 2000

This review is from: Student's Life Application Bible NLT (Hardcover)

Many people think that the NLT version is "bad" because it is not the Bible. It is, just not the NKJ version. I have always had a hard time understanding The Word, and this version was wonderful for me.

I got it just yesterday, and haven't read much of it, but I love the format and all the notes. I wold have given it 5 stars, but since I have had it for only a very short time, I don't know if I won't like it as much later.

I have read, and also used the devotions in The New Believer's Bible. People are dissing that one, too! I think for new believers, children, and teens, the NLT is an easy-to-read bible. If I tried reading the KJV as a new believer, child, or teen I'd freak out. The thee's, thou's, thy's, etc., and the other words that are beginning to be less used, and even less "understandable", would make it hard for me to concentrate on God's love letter to me. I would be too focused on trying to understand the language! Even the NIV is sometimes too hard for me to understand!

This is a wonderful version for all those teens out there who want to read the Bible, but can't find the time. If you have a good Bible and are thirsty enough for God's Word, all of a sudden, there will be time! There was time all along, you know, you just didn't WANT to!

5.0 out of 5 stars Youth Leader Endorsement, May 25, 2001

By 

Robert Torres (San Francisco, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Student's Life Application Bible NLT (Paperback)

I have been in youth ministry for 5 years now. I have been offered many different kinds of teen study Bibles. My youth love this Bible a lot. They tell me it encourages them to read this Bible because they can completely understand it. They love all the commentary and all those special little tidbits directed to teens for today's living. I also praise God that there is a version of the Bible they can understand and feel encouraged about. I used to be critical about the New Living Translation. When I was a kid the New International Version was considered a bad thing. But reading the NIV version has been a help to me. I now think all that matters is that these kids enjoy reading a translation of the Bible they feel comfortable reading. This translation is sound and a blessing to teens everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Avid Reader and Christian, January 22, 2001

By 

"stephi379" (the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Student's Life Application Bible NLT (Hardcover)

This is the best Bible format and language I've ever read. It gives a clear interpretation of what the Bible says about important issues surrounding teens today, such as abortion, homosexuality, creation, etc. It also highlights key verses and gives profiles of important biblical figures. The wordage is easy to read and understand, and tells the reader what the Bible is saying in modern English. It is a great study and reading Bible for any teen, and I give it two thumbs up!
