5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration on every page.....key verses highlighted!, August 13, 2001

This review is from: TouchPoint Bible (New Living Translation) (Paperback)

I picked up this translations over seven years ago and credit it, in part, for beginning my journey through the Bible. First the New Living Translation is easy to read and understand. Second, this particular edition takes inspirational and encouraging verses and puts them right at the top of the page in large bold type so that all you have to do is flip through the pages and you'll quickly find a word of encouragement. I would reacommend this Bible version for anyone wanting to read the Bible, but feeling intimidated (or bored) by other translations. I would strongly recommend this version as a gift as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars This bible changed my life!, November 14, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: TouchPoint Bible (New Living Translation) (Paperback)

I stumbled upon The Touchpoint Bible at a Women's Retreat. Flipping through, I became immediately engrossed. Not only does this Bible translate God's Word into language I understand, it also has "mini" Bible studies--or Touchpoints-- on a huge varirety of topics. Whenever life throws something at me I don't understand, I browse the index and go directly to the Touchpoint that seems most relevant to what I am experiencing. It is TONS easier to use than a concordance. It truly delivers what it claims: God's word at your point of need. I recommend this Bible to all of my friends! Some have been hesitant and cautioned that it is a paraphrase, not a translation, but they are wrong in this assumption. I show them the part in the front of the book that explains how The New Living Translation came to be and they are impressed at it's credentials as a new translation of God's Word. This is a GREAT translation for new believers, in my opinion, as well as a wonderful addition to the library of Bibles on every Christian's shelf.
