NIV, The Story, Hardcover, Comfort Print: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People

This book is divided into 31 chapters with timelines, maps and brief description of characters. The content was good and worth reading to get a overview but the cutting of the pages was not good. So don't be shocked if you get irregular papercuts on one side. You can trim it off and level it to a certain extent with a blade if you can which I did.

Took ages to reach me. Anyway, it's a very good read.

Expensive

My wife was talking to some ladies who commented, “Have you ever read through the whole Bible? Every one who I know has done that said it was life changing. Do you think it would be for me?” That was the beginning of a revolution and revival in our community. Approximately 100 individuals went through this book and the videos over the next four years, some several times. They now see the big picture of the Bible and “His Story”. People who had attended church for years and always felt inadequate in their Biblical knowledge, now had confidence and even felt comfortable enough to teach others. Several accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.Yes, reading through the Bible does change lives.The format sticks to using scripture in whichever version you choose. We found, that since most of the folks participating were not scripturally advanced, reading in NIV or New KJV was better than the archaic language of the KJV. It uses blocks of scripture with a paragraph or two of connecting explanation every couple of pages. It picks up the highlights of the story of God’s plan and hand on the world. I does not include every chapter of the Bible.Janet found that some folks would read the whole chapter on their own, but she also took time to read it aloud to the whole group after they had watched the short video. She also taught them as they read through and answered their questions.As they completed the study, most wanted to turn right around and do it again with the new under they had. And a couple groups even tackled actually reading the Bible verse by verse all the way through.The videos are 10 minutes or so apiece, and work well to do at the beginning of the sessions. We highly recommend this for any Christian denomination as it is simply reading the Bible.

The comfort print is perfect and it reads like a story. It’s a great addition to my biblical resources.

Very happy with shortened version of the Bible

Qualité plus que mediocre : les pages sont mal reliées, elles se chevauchent toutes de telle sorte que, livre fermé, lorsqu’on passe le pousse sur les pages, on sens toutes les irrégularités. Ensuite tous les coins inférieurs sont coupés. Je ne recommande pas du tout ce produit.

Great accessible way to read the bible from beginning to end. Highly recommended! It took me almost a year of daily readings to complete it. I might just have to start again now.
