A thrilling work of science fiction on an epic scale. With a cast of thousands, a storyline that continues down through generations, and a seemingly never ending tapestry of plot twists, this book is sure to delight any reader. One has to admit that the idea of a hero written as a cosmic-Jewish-zombie-telepath seems a bit hokey at first, but somehow the authors pull it off with only a few insults to the reader's intelligence.

As much a discipline and a study as it was a goal for me to read. I was surprised at how often my Sunday school teaching version of a story was vastly different from the original, which was often quite brief. Beautifully written at times and just plain boring and confusing at others. I found that as many questions were raised for me as they were answered. All of the violence and killing in the name of God was very disturbing, as was the general attitude towards women. The basic ethical teach...more
This is probably still my favorite translation of the Bible it was the first one I read through, cover to cover from front to back that is. Most of the mistranslations of the original KJV have been corrected while the flavor and poetry of the 1611 language are still there. (though sadly there are a couple of places where the "Authorized King James" got it right and the NKJ mistranslated) This is an attempted word for word translation much like the RSV and ASV (also New Revised Standard...more
I got this Bible as a graduation present at my Church. At first, because of how new and wonderful it was, I didn't even want to use it. Also because it's not a pocket Bible so it is rather large and has a soft cover so a Bible cover type deal wouldn't help much, I don't believe. (Mine is brown, not black)

The Bible is our instruction manual, our way to living a Godly life...there is so much we do not know until we read and study the Bible. It's so important to be opening our Bibles, making sure what we are being taught and/or what we hear is true because there are so many miss teaching it. It's also important to be attending a Bible-believing Church.

When I got this study bible, I felt like that character “Eli” portrayed by Denzel Washington from the movie: “THE BOOK OF ELI”, of course it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out what book Eli is protecting enough to showcase his mysterious martial arts skills…said to be the book that is the hope for mankind in an Apocalyptic world.

If there is only one book you read in your life, make it this one. It contains the actual history of the world, not what modern scientists would have us believe. Man is lost in sin and we will all answer for the sins we commit in this life. However, there is hope for us. God's only begotten son, Jesus Christ, came to earth 2000 years ago, lived the perfect, sinless life, and willingly let himself be crucified by those who opposed him. He gave his life as a perfect sacrifice to atone for the...more
The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible is an awesome experience in the love of God. This bible is loaded with features sure to bless the reader in any given subject. There are Life Lessons which help the reader apply the Word of God to daily living. There are Devotional Bible Studies. There are articles that show Jesus throughout the Word. There are articles to aid the reader in understanding salvation and walking with the Lord. There is a reading plan. There is a wonderful index for locating ve...more
It's time to read this book from beginning to end. I once said, before my son was born, that I would read through the bible once a year. I do read the bible daily, but I skip around and avoid many of the unfamiliar books. I'm in the 15th chapter of Exodus now. The Israelites have finally been released by Pharaoh to leave Egypt and they are complaining to Moses that they should have just remained slaves because they are afraid that they will die in the wilderness. God has just showed up and s...more

Being raised Pentecostal, it was helpful to learn WHY I believed certain things. I also learned to throw out things that I was just taught out of tradition. As my husband says, "Eat the meat and throw away the bones." I also love the Word Wealth sections that give the Greek and Hebrew roots of words. Once you get started inductively delving into it, it is hard to just do "surface" reading anymore.
A absurdly confusing generation-spanning saga.
Apart from being generally long-winded, there are too many inconsistencies in the plot to ignore. The pointless digressions and Tolstoyesque cast of thousands makes it very difficult to follow, let alone identify with any of the protagonists.
The ending makes no sense whatsoever.

Some great lost Sheaksperian poems in Psalms.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are apparently psudonyms, but the writting is not good enough for me to try to track down the actual author(s).
Some good ideas in the text, but they are incredably offuscated... perhaps that is why some many Christains don't follow them.

I started reading the Bible as soon as i could read, which was before kindergarten. My mother started me reading a few verses a day, then a chapter, and the more times i went through it the more i wanted to read it. I've lost count of how many times i've read it cover to cover...it's the living Word of God, relevant to today in a way that many people don't realize because they don't study it - instead, they pick through what they like and don't like. Don't do that...read it and be open to wha...more
I found the first part, long and hard to get through. Heavy-handed and legalistic. Particularly the part about stoning your children. Although the Song of Songs are beautiful. The second part, I would give five stars. Jesus as a main character is amazing. Although I wish they would have gone into more detail about his romance with Mary Magdalene. It was depressing that he was turned on so brutally, but his resurrection and the revelation left me looking forward to a sequel. The authors must have...more
I'm not sure if this is exactly the same bible I have. It is the NKJV, though, and you can't really go terribly wrong with this version. It is more dependable than most modern translations [NIV, Message, Living, etc]. I started off with the KJV [couldn't read it]. Then I went to the NIV and it was the first translation I read through completely. By that point I was conversing with Independent Fundamental Baptists [you guessed it, KJV 1611 only proponents] who said my NIV was from the devil. I re...more
I am the LORD Jesus Christ! Truth! The Lord God created man, created this book (Old Testament + Revelation) also that people knew and recognized him. This book is prophetic, rather than historical, which has written Lord God, during the creation of world, their own hands, (because he can do it, because he created man) latest book of Revelation (New Testament in fact fictitious) because the Bible, Old Testament, Consist of different sorts of books (more than 1000 chapters and 43 headline).

It was difficult to read, especially as a curious kid.
The stories are interesting, but thinking back to it, I question why people would believe it is 100% true and accurate. From a historical point of view, it is intriguing. However, there are plenty of works that were partially historic and partially fiction with notations about "the gods." The Bible seems no different than any other ancient work, but has withstood the lashes of time. With only parts of it being canonized an...more

This Review is for The Open Bible Holy Bible: The New King James Version I was gifted when I first joined our church 3 years ago. I love this translation. Although I have a great study bible Life Application Bible: New King James Version, Black, Bonded Leather - this is my emergency back up that I keep in the front seat of the car.
The quality and craftsmanship of this edition is impressive, I admire the skill that went into it's making. It's fine Goatskin cover is simply beautiful and a delight to hold. Fresh out of the box this edition is flexible and molds to fit your hand (a quality which is highly sought after in leather bound Bibles). When compared to my other compact Bibles the Smyth sewn binding of this edition lays flatter than any other compact edition. Unlike many compact Bibles this edition stays open with ...more
I read this book 1 chapter a day, from Gen. 1 - Rev. 22 & I will NEVER get those 3 years back. What a waste of time...
It's a shame that people worship a childish & jealous, psychopathic murderer.
The psychosis of Abraham is a horrible malfunction of common sense & rational... IT'S PATHETIC. What kind of man would be willing to kill his own son at the request of an invisible being? Is that what is required of you from your god? That's the father of Judaism, Christianity & I...more

I'm going to be reading this book for the rest of my life. :)
The Bible is God's Word to man. It tells us the truth about ourselves and the world in which we live. It gives wisdom for life. Most importantly, it tells us how to get to Heaven when we die. In order to be saved, we must put our complete faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. He has procured salvation for those who come to Him. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man comes to the Father but by Him. If you would like to go to heaven when you die, read the Gospel of John in the New Te...more

One can never get enough of God's Word and this Bible only helped me grow closer to the Lord. Using the New King James version made it easily understood and the various types of Soul Care commentary and deeper Bible study made it even more enriching. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a devotional Bible that addresses real-life problems and situations that Christians face every day. The topics covered are indexed and easy to find, reflecting Biblical truths to help us get throu...more
I didn't read it cover to cover like a novel, but skipped around a bit, since it's more an anthology of short stories, supposedly with a common theme. Not what one would call light reading. I'm usually a big fan of mythology, but this collection spreads across such a long time span it ends up contradicting itself in several places. The morality it espouses doesn't appeal to me, although some parts contained some beautiful prose. If you're looking for a self-help book, there are probably more...more
"I won't say it is very hard to write a review about the Holy Bible because I am a Universalist and a Pluralist so I don't find it hard at all to review this book no matter what any ""Christian"" may say to me. What I do have to say is that this is an excellent book written by numerous authors throughout the history of the Old and New Testament. Why I say that is because this is a collection of so many different books by many authors, some writings may differ from one pe...more
The Bible is soooo hard to read! Right now I have read Titus (really good Bible study on marriage 3 years or so ago), Ruth (loved it), John (did Bible study on this so it was good and got a lot out of it); Jonah (same, did Bible study and loved it), Matthew (read on own and it seemed a lot like John, liked it though), Luke (on my own, again), read half of Job but felt I wasn't getting it so I stopped (bad, I know!), read Genesis forever ago and reread through it briefly, read proverbs to kids s...more

The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. The Bible has changed my life and continues to do so. Not only does it act as a mirror to show what is in our hearts, but it also changes what we see, conformi...more
I've read through the bible several times, three of the times as a Christian and once viewing it as an ancient religious text not the divine work of God, this review takes the later stance. Growing up I preferred the New King James Version, it was easier to read than the King James, but still sort of sounded like the scriptures my dad used to go around quoting from the original King James. It still mostly uses the same manuscripts but gives footnotes to the more recent critical scholarship var...more

“This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
