This is truly a beautiful book for children and adults alike. Each page tells a special story about Jesus beginning when He was a baby and continues on.

Each story is accompanied with a tender illustration of Jesus interacting with people.
Colorful and real to life, the illustrations are outstanding and coincide wonderful with the stories.

All in all this little book is a winner and a very
special read for parents to share with their little ones.

Are you looking for a bedtime Bible story book for preschoolers and early readers? Look no further. Frances Hook, reknown Sunday School Bible story artist did the artwork for this beginner's Bible. The artwork depicts the story beautifully and the text is simple enough for early readers to have success and asks questions that encourage interactions with your child.

My friend recently purchased a Bible (New Living Translation) and allowed me to exchange my Bible (New King James Version) with hers. I am an instructor in a Seminary and therefore very picky with the versions I choose to read. I usually prefer either the New American Standard or the New Revised Standard Versions. However, I found the NLT to be an inviting one. While I was sharing my experience with the NLT with my other friends, one of them, Karen Davila, who is a popular, award-winning, television journalist here in Manila, Philippines (GMA-Channel 7) mentioned how pleasant it was to read the NLT. It was a '...perfect way to start your day...'

A few of my students who are freshmen enjoy the version too. I will request our Library that we acquire a few copies. A colleague of mine is thinking of purchasing one. Frankly, I probably would go back to NRSV/NASB when I teach or write, primarily for the reason that they are much closer to the original languages. But, for daily quiet time and while keeping my journal, the NLT looks like an appropriate choice. I thank the Lord for all those who invested their time and efforts in giving all of us the NLT. God bless you.

I have numerous translations of the Bible, but the New Living Translation is unsurpassed for ease of reading, accuracy and beauty of language. The best choice, both for new believers and those who have read "The Book of Books" for many years. You'll love it! Even difficult passages become clear and easy to understand.

The Word of God is to be consumed by His people and this translation satisfies the hungry 'child' in me. I grew up reading the "The Living Bible" but as the the need for a more precise study Bible presented itself, I left behind my 'childhood' friend in favour of more 'accurate transliterations'. To their credit, they served me well, however when attempting to relate intricate truths to others, I found myself sounding pious and scholarly...not a coat I wear comfortably. What a complete joy, then to read the sheer simplicity of His loving missive to me and still know that academics have not been forsaken. This will be the Bible I grow old with...

This Osprey Campaign Series book about the Battle of Fornovo is very informative. Provides alot of data on French and Italian military thinking of the time and the politics and military aims of the campaigns that lead to Fornovo. The account of the battle itself is also very detailed. My one criticism is that the clor plates don't give a good "feel" of the clothing and uniforms of the time. The book itself neglects this as well. There are some plates and breif description, but not much more. Overall very useful.

Any book that deals with uniforms has to have good, real looking pictures. this book only has two. All the other color pictures do not look real and they look very old. But, most pictures in this book are b/w.In this book it doesn't go very in depth about the uniforms.

If I had to reduce a review of this book to one sentence it would be this: If it has Rene Chartrand's name on it, buy it.

Rene Chartrand is one of the most meticulous and accurate researchers that is available today. Additionally, he is an excellent author and enjoys his subject matter. His books are well-research, scholarly, and authoritative. This one is no different.

He covers the subject matter thoroughly, and illustrates it with excellent examples of uniforms using the talents of Rousselot, Detaille, and Herbert Knotel, the last borrowed from the superb collection of Colonel John Elting.

This is not just another uniform book. It is logically organized, has some excellent original artwork by Christa Hook, and can stand on its own as an accurate reference work.

I highly recommend it, and it is a bargain at the price asked.
