Book Review: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars
joyce has excelled herself by illuminating, illustrating and expanding on points in the Bible. To enable anyone, whatever stage they are at on their Christian walk, to fully appreciate the Word of the Lord. The life points she makes are valid and from the heart and from a strong, true faith. I wholeheartedly recommend this version to anyone and encourage people to look at her other publications and at her website, as this lady has a firm grasp of what Chrisianity is all about, she is the Real Deal.Book Review: possibly the last bible i will buy.
Summary: 5 Stars
practical info.
i bought the leatherbound version.
very big bible. lovely leather very scented. gilt edges. flops perfectly on your lap or in your hands. as an object it is quite satisfying.
material?
well people on amazons .com site had complained that it is not a study bible. well no this bible is twice as many pages long as my study bible!
there are loads of things joyce has put in in different colour to main text.
book introductions-these helpfully tell you what this book will be relevant to in life. what sort of subject it covers.
life points-these are little notes in the text that simply pull together what the text is saying and makes it relevant.
speak the word--often at the bottom of the page they are declarations or prayers taken from the text to be spoken out loud.
putting the word to work--notes that highlight biblical principles for you to think on.
the word for your everyday life--these are chunks of joyces words and experience that help you, if you may be wondering how leviticus might apply to your life for example these will help.
amplified bible translation--this gets alot of flak and people call it the multiple choice bible. but i have always found that the extra words in brackets expand on and clarify the rest of the bible. you either love the amp or hate it. but it is worth trying it.
there is an index at the back to show you where all these added pieces are. i have to say that if seperated they would still make a large book.
there is also a massive section on verses to help with whatever you are going through. and finally there are a substantial number of plain lined pages for your notes.
this is a wonderful bible and i have never seen such a book. the word is a powerful thing by itself but joyces notes really make it fresh and show you how it's relevant.
this is a very good quality book in construction and holds what i believe is going to turn my faith walk up a notch. i don't need fifteen coloured maps and weigh conversions and a list of how many times "and" appears in the bible. what i want is to know what god is saying to me and how i can live for him and this is the book to do that.
i would reccomend it.
Book Review: I'm so glad I made this purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a new christian, the prospect of reading the whole bible for the first time can be very daunting. But as per usual Joyce is right there...'on point'. She has made this easier for me to comprehend, giving me the opportunity to discover how I can apply the teachings of the bible to MY 'every day life'. I'm 28yrs old now and I aim to spend the rest of my years serving God & his purpose, Joyce just makes my goal a little more realistic and obtainable. Buy It!-You wont regret it!Book Review: Adding to the Bible
Summary: 1 Stars
It is incredibly depressing that yet another attempt to exploit the 'Christian' market is welcomed by so many Christians. Are we so sad in this country that we need Joyce Meyer to rewrite the Bible before it makes sense to us? Why would anyone need to read about Joyce's personal experiences in order to understand the Bible? In reality this book is saying that the Holy Spirit did not do a good enough job in inspiring the Scriptures and we need Joyce (and/or her advisers) to come along and give us a Bible that we can understand. As a edition to the Joyce Meyer publishing industry this will undoubtedly work. With its health and wealth me-centred distortion of the Bible it will not be a help to the Church or the Gospel of Jesus. And does the Bible itself not warn us about adding to or taking away from the Word of God? Stick with the real deal - Jesus Christ and His word, not Joyce Meyer and her reedited version.
