EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND!
I am 33 years old and was always turned off by the Bible because of the arcane language. I had not picked up a Bible until recently when I saw this one at a local Christian bookstore for $49.95.This translation is exactly what I needed and what I believe newcomers to the Bible should read.Not only is the writing simplistic but almost every passage is explained in detail at the bottom of each page.I remember being young and trying to read the King James Version which was a nightmare for a young kid.I wish everyone knew this translation is available.The publisher has outdone itself by including so many extras and really simplifying an extraordinarily complicated book.Thank-you for allowing me to be able read and comprehend this important work.

This Bible really talks to YOU
I read it everyday. It is where I get all my answers to life. Reading it is a daily blessing. I may have read a certain passage 5 times before, but it does not register or it's wisdom does not present itself until something happens in my life and I am reading along and I come across the answer right under my nose. I don't know how I missed it before, but I did, even though it has been there all along. Like IT is waiting for ME. It is at moments like this that I am struck with AWE and I realize something really BIG is going on here. I have read 3 other versions but this one is the best by far.

Editorial Review

At a time when conflicts among three of the world's majorreligions--Islam, Judaism, and Christianity--are in the global spotlight, Bruce Feiler offers a stunning biography of the one man who unites all three religions: Abraham. "The most mesmerizing story of Abraham's life--his offering a son to God--plays a pivotal role in the holiest week of the Christian year, at Easter," writes Feiler. "The story is recited at the start of the holiest fortnight in Judaism, on Rosh Hashanah. The episode inspires the holiest day in Islam, 'Read more

An interesting quick read
How do you write a 226-page book covering someone whom we have very little historical knowledge about?Put a lot of space between the lines, and fill in the gaps with long, superfluous descriptions of what the weather was like the day you were doing your research, and you can stretch it out to 226 pages.Yes, the content of this book is quite thin, stretched out to needless length.But fortunately, it's an easy read, so it goes fast even though you do have to wade through some of those verbose setting-the-mood descriptions.
Interesting Read
As a Christian I am interested in the phenomenon of Abraham as the progenitor of three of the main religions on earth. Of particular interest was the portrayal of this character through the lenses of the two other belief systems that I am not so familiar with. In an easy to read format this is at once a book for the curious without the need for serious scholarship,and will therefore be appealing to a wide readership. Coupled with this is the current apetite throughout the world to understand better the problems of the middle-east and also the clarion-call for religious tolerance and reconciliation. All of this may be found in this book which will therefore guarantee its success as a money spinner.
A WONDERFUL BOOK... VERY INSPIRING... REMARKABLE... AMAZING

Excellent Bible!
Giant Print is definitely true with this excellent edition of the reliable NASB. Foundation Publications produces high quality bibles, and this is one of their best. It is very easy on the eyes for reading. The only disadvantage to me is the size and weight of the Bible. It is difficult to hold up in your hand for very long. But that is to be expected for the print size and references. This edition is great for ease of reading and studying at home. You might want a smaller edition to take to church and travelling.

Excelent Product
I have never 'met' a Bible from Foundations Publications that I haven't immediately liked. Whether in leather-like, bonded leather, or Genuine leather, these Bibles are all smyth-sewn and quality products. This is no exception. This is a black, genuine leather Bible with 14pt., giant print. It is a red-letter edition, unfortunately, but the red is of a dark quality, thus non-glaring. This is a very comftorable type. Although I do not 'need' giant print, I like it, so this has become my main Bible. It has a good dictionary/Concordance in the back. It is priced reasonably, and has been a real blessing to have and to hold. Foundations Publications can basically outdo any American Bible publisher today. That, plus an excellent translation, makes Foundations Pub #1 in my book! ... Read more

I was very happy to receive a new Bible.I got it unexpectedly when I got it instead of the large print one I was ordering for my husband.But now we each have a new Bible.It is easy to read, but a little more difficult to find the books because it is so much thinner than my old one.The biggest disappointment was the inumerable e-mails I received after ordering. ...

Amazing Bargain!
Just arrived today. This will probably become my favorite bible of all! I own several versions,and presently carry "The Rainbow Study Bible" to church, because of it's size and it is easy on the eyes. (However the system of color codes for study is impossible for me to remember). Without a doubt this will be the one carried now, as it is also just the right size,not too large or heavy, easy to read and the real frosting,it is "thumb-indexed"! The concordance is pretty meager,but since I have a Strongs Concordance,I am not going to complain. I'm surprised this is not a top-seller of KJV Bibles!I am very pleased.Thank You Amazon! ...

NKJV is Great , Words are too Large!
The book is concordance and reference materials in this book are great and helpful. My problem is that the text is too large and crowded on the pages making it difficult to read and look up versus. Started giving me a headache after awhile. I would like to recommend the regular Nelson NKJV Reference bible. Its will be easier to read. Another great bible, the one I like the best, is the Nelsons SLIMLINE bible. Perfect to take to church because its smaller and lighter but the words are still large enough to read on a regular basis. I have the genuine leather edition and bought it on amazon and just LOVE it! Hope this helped.

great buy

Excellent general use Bible
This review is on Nelson's Reference Edition of the King James translation of the Holy Bible. Without engaging in argument over whether the newer translations of the bible are "perversions", I will just pose that I prefer the original King James Version since it is what I grew up learning with.Many bits and pieces of scripture that are in my personal memory are in King James.Therefore, when attempting to locate a reference using a concordance or electronic bible search, it is always convenient to resort to that version which matches one's word-for-word recollection. I agree that the stilted Shakespearean English can be a bit cumbersome, but this tends to become less bothersome with familiarity.
Binding split; replaced under warranty; very pleased
I have been very pleased with this Bible. The NKJV is my favorite version, since it is based on the same Greek text as the KJV, the Textus Receptus (TR). I really like that the center-column lists all the places in which the similar Majority Text or the less-similar Critical Text (on which most modern versions are based) deviates from the TR. The two-column print is dark and easy to read, with the pages thick enough to have minimal bleed-through. I also really like the four-page preface which explains the translation philosophy and the underlying Hebrew and Greek texts used. As another reviewer has noted, the durability is questionable. I bought mine in January 2001 and a few months ago I noticed that there is a split from top to bottom right in front of the preface. Fortunately, the box says that Nelson offers a lifetime guarantee against failures due to manufacturing defects, so I have just contacted them via their website to see if they will make that good. 29 April 2005.
Another Shlocky Item from Thomas Nelson
Up until approximately ten years ago, Nelson Bibles were quality, and I am referring to their Leather-bound editions. They were Smyth-sewn/whipstitched, and would last for years. Unfortunately,except for their "Signature Series" Bibles, which are priced at $99 and more, Nelson (and Crossway) Bibles, in my opinion, are the most inferior on todays market. They are all glue-bound, and have a limited life-expectancy. This is a prime example of it. The New King James translation is an excellent translation. Unfortunately, it is Nelson's house translation, and they charge unreal royalties to any other publishing house who wishes to use it.

Easy reading for the lay person
I'm not a Bible scholar, so I'm basing my review on ease of use for the lay person.
Literally a revelation
I now realise that I had never really understood the Five Books of Moses before I read this superb translation. It is written in easy to understand, modern English but unlike say the "Good News" version it brings out the full meaning without oversimplification. Many Christians devalue the Old Testament and imagine that only the New Testament is worth studying.However, to those who think that the Laws of Moses are archaic and outmoded, or who imagine that "Love your neighbour as yourself" is solely a New Testament idea, I say read this and be amazed. The Old Testament God is as close to us and full of love for us as Jesus.

A Commendable Translation
Translating the Hebrew writings commonly and collectively known as the Old Testament is a complex task. Not only is the scholar faced with the absence of written vowels, leading to many uncertain words, but there are also thewide varieties of literary types (histories, poems, narratives, tales,songs, etc.) to not only translate but convey into an intelligible Englishthat preserves the meaning as well as the style of the original. Add tothis the intense religious importance of the work to the three majorreligions on the world and all the feeling that can accompany that and thetask is, to put it mildly, heroic. Moreover, some translations are madefrom the Masoretic text, others from the Septuagint, still others fromcombinations of the two. While the Septuagint is actually an older version,it is also in Greek. Thus the translator is faced with the choice betweenScylla and Charybdis when choosing a source document - the older Greek andthus twice removed, being a Greek translation of an older Hebrew or perhapseven Aramaic text, or the more recent (ninth century B.C.E.) Masoretic textthat is at least in Hebrew. Most often the result of all this textual andlinguistic juggling is the production of a mere shadow of the original. Inthe case of the JPS Torah, the result is better than average. Read more
