[.ca] New Living Translation - NLT - The Book (ISBN 0842332855)

From Amazon.com:
The Book is, of course, the Bible. Rather than offering a straightforward interpretation of the original Greek and Hebrew texts, Tyndale House Publishers has assembled an easy-to-reference volume, making it accessible to newcomers as well as scholars. In the front section, readers will find a selection of excerpts that speak to life's major issues and concerns, such as "Anger," "Discouragement," "Fear," and "Loneliness." The Book also includes excerpts that speak to relationships, such as love, friends, marriage, and parenthood. An opening section titled "Where Can I Find It?" lists where to locate favorite Bible stories, including "The Prodigal Son" and "The Golden Rule." It even has a reference section devoted to "Great Chapters from the Book," citing chapters such as "A Time for Everything," and "The Holy Spirit Comes." This is one of the most highly recommended and user-friendly bibles available.

Great on Cassette:
With my family's busy schedule, listening to the Bible on tape is a great way to spend some time meditating on the Word of God. I have bought other cassettes of the Bible and the narration was dry and boring. Mike Kellogg does an excellent job as the narrator, his voice and tone is pleasant and easy to listen to--and he does NOT put me to sleep. I think this the best narrated version of the New Testament I have heard yet. We listen to it in the car on our way to school and soccer and church...it is great and has been a blessing to my family.

The Word made simple:
I absolutely recomend "The Book" for new belivers as wells as mature believers. The translation is very simple. No deciphering and going back and forth to your dictionary!!

Superb Reading!:
I must say that this translation was a long time overdue. This brings the greatest Book in history to today's English. It's easy for non-Christians, new believers, and refreshing for mature believers. As someone who has studied the KJV all of my life, I found this reading enlightening. There are no problems in understanding the meaning of any verse or chapter in this great Book. Pass this one along--it changes lives.

I love this Bible!:
I received Christ as my saviour and Lord on June 20, 2003. I called CBN on the 700 Club and they sent me this Bible. It is easy to understand, the print is large, I love it!

Bringing the Word to Those not able to read:
I bought this as a gift for a brother in Christ, who accepted Jesus recently. unfortunately, he cannot read very well, so this was the perfect gift. He has grown immensely in his knowledge of what the Word says and seemd very happy with it. Ordering another copy for my wife, who needs it for her drive home commute!! God bless you all...get to know Jesus before it's too late. If you wanna know how, contact me.
