Reader Reviews:

Don't want to bash the bible. (2/11 people found this helpful)

I think this edition of the Holy Bible's very good; nice and clear (unlike my old NIV by the same publisher). I still think it smells of social control, however, perhaps I shouldn’t read too much Leviticus, and maybe I should start focussing on the New Testament.

Let the Word of God Dwell in you RIchly (66/68 people found this helpful)

If you spend a lot of time driving then it's great to be able to listen to God's word and allow it to minister to you. For this reason I am hesitant to discourage anyone from buying this product.

However, you should know what you are buying before you buy it. On the front cover it says "Full Bible". In smaller print on the back it says that the Old Testament is abridged. Well, I was disappointed to discover just how abridged it is.For example: only 39 out of the 150 Psalms are included. Most of Numbers, Deuteronomy and Ezekiel is omitted as are the really interesting parts of Daniel. I reckon less than a third, perhaps only a quarter is here.

The recording quality is variable and often below normal CD standards. The reading quality is also variable, but most of it is good. Juliet Stevenson who reads some of the Psalms is wonderful.

This product could be so much better. Despite my reservations, God can really use it in your life.

Leading us into the people of the bible (6/26 people found this helpful)

This Bible CDs are recorded as like as people had natural communication. It may be from the narrator's charactor. They are not announcers, but actresses and actors. So their voices shows bible contents more naturally, less tensed than announcers.
This gives those who have British accents clear voice, so it is recognised better.

Not Just For the Faint Sighted !! (3/3 people found this helpful)

I am really pleased with this Bible, I have been suffering for a while with not being able to read normal print and my Bible Study is centred on the NIV so if I forget my reading glasses I am in trouble !! This is a life saver, my only comment would be the lack of notes and references but I suppose if it had everything I would not be able to pick it up !

The set out of the page is good, the print is clear and bold and it is easy to find what I am looking for, the cover is well bound and it is a pleasure to read and rhe price is right as I feel it is over priced in the shops...

Well done Amazon on the prompt and speedy delivery and the packaging was well secured so that the Bible was in good condition when I got it. Well done Amazon definitely a Five Star rating. Don't get this expecting comprehensive references it is purely text but excellent just to read without having to change my glasses,

Best study bible? (6/6 people found this helpful)

NIV Study bible although a bit large and heavy to carry around all the time is certainly a good investment. I have used it both for personal study, writing papers, preparing for group bible studies and during my time at bible college.
The layout of the cross references and footnotes is helpful without having to flick too much to other pages. The not too concise concordance at the back is sufficient to find most of the bible verses and topics you might be looking up.
I have no regrets about the finacial outlay to purchase it I only wish it were available in CD form and I would be buying that as well!
