Good News Hardcover Bible (Good News Translation)

This bible is the most updated and easiest to understand edition of the original scriptures. And it REALLY pulls you in close and helps you truly understand the bible. If you're thinking about it- ABSOLUTELY make the purchase. This bible edition is lifechanging!!

Very good print and easy to read

Very easy to red. It is a replacement for my old1967 paperback. I am enjoying it every morning along with a study guide!

Great Bible for easy reading

This Bible here is very useful to me! Anytime I am doing devotional readings, or Daily Office readings for my prayer routine every morning, this Translation fits the bill! It is a very easy read, and I quickly get the main idea of what a particular passage is saying. Funny how inspirational literature like the Bible can be spoken like it is speaking to us in our own time. With this said, I don't use the Good News Translation as a "study" Bible. For that, I would need something a little more formal, like the New America Standard Bible, the English Standard Version or my personal favorite, the New Revised Standard Version. In order to study the Bible, I find it necessary to compare translations because I do understand that in many places, there are different ways of translating something. Also, some places in these Bibles are ambiguous or even vague, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a translation using modern terminology, but it is always difficult translating something from one language to another.... But, just to read? This is it! It reads well, easily understood to anyone who can "get by" speaking English. This is a hardcover edition and the Bibles (I ordered two) were in excellent condition. You can lay the Bible flat on a surface and the pages won't fall on each other. It seems to hold it's own very well. Exactly what I needed for doing my morning prayers! I would recommend anyone getting this edition of the Good News Bible!

This Bible is very easy to read very easy to understand and have footnotes that help you study I really love it when I ordered it it's brand new none of the pages are marked it's a wonderful Bible I would recommend buying this Bible especially for those who have a hard time understanding other additions of the Bible

Perfect for kids.

Good as always with the beautiful line drawings by Annie Vallotton. However, there is no line-matching technique applied to printing, so can see a lot of text shadow from the reverse side of the page; the paper being very thin and not opaque. They may have tried to remedy by light printing.

Love it

Excellent

This arrived in good quality and quite surprised me. The versions I remember from my youth were bigger(about 10-12 inches) however, this version has ALL the beautiful illustrations as those ones and is even more portable😃👌 Good service too. Only drawback was slightly longer delivery time. However, that was more the fault of Canada post.
