5.0 out of 5 stars Great Edition For New Believers & Serious Readers, December 26, 2000

By 

Charity - See all my reviews

This review is from: holy Bible (King James Version) (Hardcover)

This edition of the King James/Authorized Version of the Holy Bible is solidly bound and printed clearly on good quality paper stock. There are many inexpensive paperbound editions available, but this hardback edition will hold up beautifully for those who read their Bibles daily (and everyone else, too!) and is well worth the extra dollar or two.

Makes a wonderful gift to new Christians. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, October 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: holy Bible (King James Version) (Hardcover)

There are other translations that improve accuracy and are more readable, but the King James Version is some of the most beautiful literature ever.

The Truth found in its pages is the most liberating you could find.

This story reminds me about the Truth of the Bible:

Bruce loved the sea and boats. To spend a day at the harbor watching the boats come and go was to him the best treat he could imagine. He lived with his parents in a town located along the shores of a great lake, and his one desire was to have a little boat of his own to sail upon the blue waters.

One day, his father said, "Bruce, why don't you make a boat? I will furnish all the materials and let you work in my work shop."

This brought joy to the heart of the lad, and not long after that, he displayed to his father a boat of his own designing and making. I believe he liked it a bit more than he would any other, because he made it all himself. What love and dreams he had put into its frame work! It was not a boat large enough to carry people, but it could sail on the lake, held by a long cord,

One beautiful day, down to the lake-shore went Bruce. Imagine his joy when he saw the little boat sail proudly away on the blue waves!

Of course, he guided it here and here by means of the long cord. All went well for a while. Then, "Clang, clang" rang the fire alarm. The fire engine could be heard in the distance. Hurriedly fastening the cord, Bruce was off with the others. It was a big fire - a city block was swept away, and Bruce fingered with many others for a long time. Finally, however, his thoughts returned to his toy. Away he sped to the lake front - but alas, the little boat was nowhere to be seen. Along the shore he went, straining his eyes for a glimpse of his red-white-and-blue boat, but not a trace could he find. For days he stayed near the shore, hoping against hope for his treasure's return. His father said there were lots of toy boats and suggested buying a new one for him, but Bruce said, "No, that would not be the one made for me."

Weeks went by, and then one day a strange thing happened. Walking down the main street of his home town with his father, Bruce spied in a store a little boat.

"Oh, Daddy," he cried, "There's my boat!"

"But, Bruce, there is a price on this boat. It is for sale," his father said.

They entered the store, and Bruce said to the storekeeper, "I've come for my boat."

"Your boat!" questioned the storekeeper, "That is not your boat".

"But I made it," continued Bruce.

Then Bruce's father explained to the puzzled storekeeper the story of the little boat.

Turning to Bruce, the man said, "Laddie, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll let you have the boat for the price I paid the fisherman. So with his own money, he purchased the little boat he himself had made. Lovingly, Bruce took the little boat in his arms, and as he left the store his father heard him say, "Little boat, you're really twice mine now. You are mine because I made you, and mine because I bought you."

Bruce's father thought of another relationship so like that of Bruce to his little boat. It was the relationship to his Lord and Saviour-twice His- first by creation, and then by purchase-purchased by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus. Every Christian, like the little boat, is not his own, for he has been "bought with a price" (1 Cor. 6: 20).
