This Bible, besides containing a wealth of cross-references for study, also features notes that are right in line with the traditional mainstream Baptist interpretation of scripture (except KJVO which is not traditional, historical Baptist doctrine anyway). (The notes in this Bible were originally written by Liberty University profs in the early 1980s)
...which makes this Bible great for following along in preaching to see at a glance if your Baptist pastor is teaching something new or contrary to traditional Baptist doctrine. Of course, final judgement is reserved for personal inductive study of the matter, but I remember at least one time this Bible brought out facts clearly enough during a sermon to where I knew for a fact the pastor was wrong- and unfortunately based his whole sermon on it.
I give this Bible 4 stars because, of course, the conservative traditional Baptist doctrine in the notes is strongly pre-trib, to the point where other views are not given enough space, IMHO.

I have only had this bible for about two weeks and I find it hard not to pick my bible up and start studing and reading this wonderful book of God's word ! I purchased it at a local Bible book store and now am online to amazon to find this Bible for my daughter's birthday! I want to share this wonderful way of reading and learning with her! I have at least ten bibles in my home and this is the first I can really understand what I am reading,I am reading one chapter each day from each of these books,Genisis,Job and Matthew! I found this in another book of suggestions on bible study to keep a pattern in reading. Of course I find myself spending much more time reading each day than I intended. I would highly reccomend this study bible to anyone,especially someone who has found it hard to focus and enjoy reading!

I have owned a KJV Study Bible for some time. It is an excellent Bible when you need to be clear on doctrine. The foot notes are especially help full in teaching the Bible to young and old. It gives very clear meaning and reference of passage. There are many study helps to encourage a Bible student to keep reading and digging for the truths in the pages of God's Word

I was generally glued to this book, although the technicalities of the workings of the LAPD left me lost or vacant, at times. I had the rare occasion to work with the author for six weeks during an Army public relations tour in Nicaragua, and his insights into life in the LAPD and life, as a cop, in general, furthered to set the stage for the book. Tom Owens is a well-read, knowledgeable man in workings of life as a private dectective and cop. I wouldn't want him investigating me!

This book doesn't pull any punches in reporting the facts surrounding the Rodney King case, the incident that led to it, and what happened afterward. As a former LAPD officer and a private investigator, the book's author, Tom Owens gives an objective look at one of the most contraversial cases in our nation's history, reporting the facts that he collected.

A Taste of reality, set in the days of Mississippi, and for the southern states. Man's Inhumanity to Man kind.

The Nelson's smallest Bible is an extremely portable 3" x 5" genuine leather Bible. It is about as big as most Gideon vest pocket New Testaments w/ Psalms and Proverbs and about twice as wide. If you travel a lot or you want to carry a Bible with you at all times, I would definitely recommend this Bible. However, there are two cons: 1)The print is so small that a magnifying card is provided, 2)This is the King James translation.

This Bible is excellent for travelling! It is not only a New Testament and Psalms, but a complete Bible in a very small (lightweight pages) but durable format. I use mine all the time and have also purchased it to use as a gift for friends who fly a lot.

The size and construction (snap flap) of this edition make it EXCELLENT!

The King James Version (KJV) is probably the best-known version of the Bible. And it is truly an excellent translation. First off, it follows a "formal equivalence" (word-for-word) translation principle. IMO, this principle is much more accurate than the "dynamic equivalence" (thought for thought) principle that most modern-day versions follow.

In addition, the KJV is based on the "Textus Receptus" (TR). And again, I consider this Greek text to be more reliable than the "Critical Text" (CT) that most modern versions utilize. Although, I actually prefer the "Majority Text" (MT) to the TR, but these two texts are very close, much closer to each other than either is to the CT.

But it must be noted that the KJV is not the only version that follows a formal equivalence principle and is based on the TR. There are several other such versions, such as the New King James Version, Modern King James Version, and the Literal Translation of the Bible, while my own Analytical-Literal Translation is based on the MT.

Moreover, each of these other versions utilize modern-day English and thus are relatively easy to read while the KJV's use of the Elizabethan English can make it very difficult to understand.

Now I know there are many "KJV-onlyists" who consider the KJV to the only true Bible, while all other Bible versions are called "perversions." And their diatribes even attack versions like the ones I list above. But I have taken the time to investigate their arguments and have found them to be faulty.

I present my counter-arguments to the KJV-onlyists' arguments in much detail in the section on "KJV-onlyism" in my book Differences Between Bible Versions, so I won't try to get into that discussion here. I'll simply encourage the reader to consider both sides of this argument before making a decision on it.

All that said, if you can understand the KJV then by all means utilize. But if you find the KJV difficult to read, then before condescending to read a less reliable dynamic equivalence version, or worse, giving up on reading the Bible altogether, I would suggest checking out one of the versions I mention above.

My Bible version book will provide aid in understanding the issues I address above and in choosing a Bible version. Along with looking at the versions mentioned above, my book also reviews over 25 other versions of the Bible.

Fabulous moral tale, really tells people how to live their lives. Without this, their would not be any morals in the western world. The end was a bit of a let down, though.

please read this book.... KJV Bible saves souls and grants immeasurable wisdom to readers through intervention of the Holy Spirit. It changes lives and is infallible in it's entirety. Many peoples condemn the Bible and Jesus Christ, but they can't understand the Sovereignty of God. Amen

Many teachers are fond of saying that, "computers are just another educational tool." This implies that there is no computer revolution in education. A black board or a pencil is very similar to a computer. What they miss is how those tools changed education. Changes in pedagogy did not happen because educators wanted to change education. They happened because humans interacted differently with their environment because of these tools. Assistive Technology: Essential Human Factors, particularly chapters five and nine, helps educators assess how to evaluate the effectiveness of assistive technology and computers. Before you create your lesson plan or schedule an IEP meeting, you should know what an assessment of human factors would tell you about your educational plans.
And if , by chance, you think this is the responsibility of your school district educational technologists, just ask them what they know about the human factors involved in using technology.
This is an excellent book to begin to explore why some assistive technology works and some fails.

This book provides guidelines to follow when working with clients who use assistive technology. It is an excellent resource for all present and future Speech-Language Pathologists and all those who interact with users of assistive technology. A must have reference for your professional library!

I love this bible. It is a great bible for teens. It helps you understand what the bible means to teens. It is the NKJ version but it is easy to understand.

This Bible is like, so totally cool. I'm 13, and it makes studing God's word much more fun. There's great "On The Edge" things that very well explain what certain verses mean. I reccomend buying this Bible. You won't regret it! :)

This is a very good biography of George Washington during the French and Indian War years. It is written well, enjoyable and easy to read.
One of the things I especially appreciated was the writer explaining just how George Washington became involved with the colonial goverment, so that he was ever asked to be involved in the political situation of the time. Not many books make this clear.
The book not only covers George Washington, but also hits upon the politics of the time and many other important people involved during this exciting historical period.
I am glad I read the book and I recommend it to others. This is an especially good book for those with little knowledge of George Washington's involvement with the British government and the politics of the French and Indian War.

This is by far the best biography of the early years of the life of George Washington I have ever read. Lewis gives us not only a brilliant introduction to young Colonel George Washington, but also a vivid analysis of the period of the French and Indian War, including the people, places, and circumstances of the conflict.

The book first gives a background on an adolecent Washington and his boyhood adventures as a surveyor in western Virginia. We learn how he grew up admiring the wealth and lifestyle of his aristocratic neighbors, the Fairfaxes, and how he began a long journey to emmulate them and to be a part of their privileged world. However, Washington's own ambitions pull him in other directions as he becomes deeply involved in the brewing storm of events that would culminate with the conflict with the French and Indians over posession of the Ohio Country and the Trans-Allegheny region. We follow Washington as he attempts to make a name for himself with the Governor of the Virginia colony by accepting a mission to deliver a message to the French army marching south from Lake Erie to the Forks of the Ohio River. This single event pushes Washington from the "shadows of an ordinary life" onto the stage of history. We see as Washington botches his attempt to protect the Forks from a French invasion at Fort Necessity and his anger at his own failure to not only obtain a royal commision in the British army, but to even obtain a victory in battle. Lewis details Washington's involvment in the war from Braddock's disasterous campaign against Fort Dusquene in 1755 to his ultimate anti-climactic success at the end of the long and muddy Forbes' Road in 1758, after which Washington retires from public service to return to the simple life of a farmer forever.

I also enjoyed Lewis' attention to the background of the struggle that served as the forge of experience for young G. W. Here we are exposed to the details and origins of the problems with not only the French, but particularly the Indians living in the Ohio Country and the singularly important role they played and the failure of Washington, or any other whitemen, to grasp that importance. This is evident in both Washington's and Braddock's terrible defeats in the early war years. Lewis gives us fascinating accounts of Washington's peers, his allies, enemies. These are men like Ohio Company scout Christopher Gist, The Seneca chief Tannacharison (Half-King), friend and neighbor George Fairfax, and others. In the end Washington would emerge older and experienced from a bloody conflict prepared to take on an even greater leadership role in another later fight in the not too distant future. A great book that I highly recommend.

Thomas Sanchez has created in KING BONGO a post-modern legendary novel, rich and mythological. Like Graham Green in his time, Sanchez has the courage to write about how politics shaped a particular cultural moment . Don't be misled that the politics are the author's, as some will mistakenly present them to be, in the same way that Green was often misinterpreted. Sanchez did not write a revisionist history, seen from a half-century on. He wrote about high and low society and everything in between, about politics both personal and self serving, about dreams, desires and obsessions, tossing them all into the conflicted boiiling stew that was Havana in the mid-1950s. This book is for those with open minds and prepared for an unforgetable wild ride.

I have read all of Thomas Sanchez's novels and have never been disappointed. You won't be disappointed either. He always delivers. And he delivered with King Bongo. It reads seamlessly from beginning to end. I read it in one long dream where I forgot who and where I was, and was transported into the world Sanchez created that is really one of a kind. Bravo.

Thomas Sanchez is back in the tropical millieu of his epic novel "Mile Zero", where a raft of odd characters love, fight, dance, and struggle, this time not in Key West, but in 1957 Havana. With revolutionaries in the hills and fading, decadent stars prowling the casinos and nightclubs of Havana, a man half American and half Cuban struggles to find his beloved sister after she disappears in a New Year's Eve bombing; he also struggles to find himself in a place rife with corruption and glitz, where the rich rule like gods and literally get away with murder, and the poor live wretched lives. It's all here in this fast-paced thriller that reads like a classic noir deepened with the same humor, wisdom and pathos that has marked Sanchez's writing since he burst out of nowhere 30 years ago with Rabbit Boss, and kept going with Zoot Suit Murders, Mile Zero, and Day of the Bees. You will love this book.

I received this English version of the Bible (fifth edition 1999, leather, easy to read print, direct words of God in red, not only words of Christ - an enlightening experience) in January. I have been using it as my Bible to read through in a year (presently nearing the end of 2 Kings, but have read some Psalms and many portions of New Testament). Mr. Green encourages readers to submit suggestions for improvement, which he then incorporates, as appropriate, into later editions. This is truly a grassroots, shoestring effort, which may be the best available Bible in modern English today. The only other candidate is Mr. Green's LITV.

This version stands on the three pillars which I personally require in an English version: 1) Bible believing/evangelical translator, 2) Formal equivalence method (translate the words, not the thoughts - necessary for verbal, plenary inspiration to have any true meaning), 3) use of the traditional/historical texts of the Old (Masoretic) and New (Byzantine/received text) Testaments (i.e., God has preserved his word down through the ages).

The only problem I have with this edition (fifth) is the implementation of the red letter concept. Often the printer has made obvious errors in what should be red and what should be black. The quality of the translation and clarity of expression overcomes this minor inconvenience.

Update: I completed reading the whole book in December 2000. All my earlier comments still apply. The large print is easy to read for someone like me who uses bifocals. Perhaps the red letter concept should be dropped in future editions since the implementation is difficult. This is a text only translation without cross-references or other aids.

Update of September 2002: I have found it difficult to continue to recommend this version because of the harshness of the language contained in the introductory pages. Also, I have not found it necessary to use a modern English Version. Once one begins reading on a regular basis from the AV/KJV the supposed defects of language disappear. A dictionary normally solves any problems, or original language helps which are readily available.

The new edition is back in stock from Sovereign Grace Publications, with larger print, and the first true red-letter edition that I have ever seen: the Words spoken by God are in red letters, in both Old and New Testaments... this is a beautiful Bible, in full leather, and for anyone who loves the King James Version. I could not recommend any better version! Get it!

Having always been an Authorized Version kind of guy (hey, how DID King James get his name on this, anyway?), but knowing that my children just don't "brey" as often as one might suspect, I wanted a version that would deliver what the NKJV did not: an accurate representation of the Authorized Version. This is it. Order it, and be blessed!Peter Hyatt

This legend is a great way to start talking to students about the Mayan people of long ago. The illustrations are bright and interesting. The pictures could start a discussion! The message about a jealous uncle and a kings passing could be compared to the Lion King if you are comparing legends.

I bought this book for my Guatemalan born son and can't wait until he's old enough to read it to him. The illustrations are quite beautiful. It troubles me a bit that the story is violent with the evil uncle plotting against his nephew - but at the same time it's the same plot as the Lion King, only with a different ending. Nevertheless I would say this is a story for five-year olds and above.

This is a great book if you teach native american history and culture. Especially if you teach about native american tribes that existed in Mexico and Central America. The book does a great job of portraying Maya life/culture. It tells the story a Mayan prince who receives a visit from a sacred bird when he is born. The sacred bird leaves a feather as a present for this newborn prince. From this day on the prince carries the feather with him for good luck and fortune. The feather protects him of all evil or from being hurt, he is basically invincible. His people love this prince because he protects them. But there is a Mayan warrior who is jealous of the prince. His envy makes him steal this feather from the prince, the prince then dies in a battle. But the Mayan people still believe that this prince protects over them in a mysterious way.
