The Promise Lives Up To It's Name!!!

It's sad that many of the good translations that come along go out of print so quickly. This is my only complaint about The Promise which is such a wonderful read. This version makes Scripture not only readable, but applicable to daily living. What The Promise also manages to do is illustrate all of God's promises in the text with extra "mini articles" that accompany the Bible text. The CEV text is also supplemented with all the alternate readings possibilities-these appear on the bottom of each page. Also-SINGLE COLUMN FORMATTING makes this text read like a letter-which it actually is-a love letter from God to His people. The KJV translators stated that translation was the key to opening the kernal that is God's Word. No doubt that they would support any translation that clarifies and simplifies the Holy Scriptures. Hardliners beware-this version is easy to read, and that may lead more people to Christ. What's more important, exclusivity or leading more people to the Lord? I'll let God be the Judge. This version is awesome. Blessed reading!!!

Wonderful!

I recieved this Bible for Christmas two years ago and it's been GREAT! Very easy to understand. Too bad it is out of print, my mother would love it too!
