Immerse Messiah Bible Review

Immerse Messiah Bible Review

Posted by | Jul 13, 2017 | , , , | 0 |

  Immerse Poets is the 5th book in the six-volume Immerse Reading Bible Set, a version of the NLT designed by Glenn Paauw (see our interview here) to provide a Bible that is distraction free and enjoyable to read. Randy’s review of the first volume printed, Immerse Messiah, can be found here. Immerse Poets contains both the books of songs (Psalms, Lamentations, Song of Songs) and the wisdom writings (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job) from the Old Testament. Tyndale provided me with a free review copy. I was not required to give a positive review, only an honest one. All opinions are...

Crossway’s ESV Reader’s Bible, Six-Volume Set – Review

Crossway’s ESV Reader’s Bible, Six-Volume Set – Review

Posted by | Oct 11, 2016 | , , , | 3 |

Several months ago I received a review copy of Glenn R. Paauw’s book Saving the Bible from Ourselves (review coming soon). Paauw describes the problems with Bible design and the need for a readable Bible that’s made specifically to do the #1 thing we should be doing with the Bible – reading it. The need for a reading Bible is why Crossway’s ESV Reader’s Bible, Six-Volume Set was created. The typical Bible is a series of compromises.

Holman KJV Reader’s Bible – Review

Posted by | Sep 15, 2016 | , , , | 2 |

The Holman KJV Reader’s Bible was designed with reading in mind. It’s a Bible without all the other apparatus that gets in the way – chapter and verse numbers, reference and footnote keys, section headings, etc. I like being able to read God’s Word without the hindrances and distractions that are found in the typical Bible. A KJV that focuses on reading is something I’ve wanted for a long time. The Holman is very much their KJV version of the Crossway ESV Reader’s Bible. In this review I’ll make comparisons with the ESV, so if you’re familiar with Crossway’s...

LCBP Paragraph Bible – Review

Posted by | Jan 23, 2016 | , , , | 20 |

There are not many single-column paragraph KJV’s on the market. When a new one comes along I take notice. I long for a layout that sets the text in a pretty layout. That’s something the KJV almost never gets. It doesn’t have to have section headings, references, or even verse numbers. Recently I’ve wanted a paragraph KJV without verse numbers. I don’t always want markings that slow down readability and comprehension. Local Church Bible Publishers’ latest Bible is a single-column paragraph in large print with no verse numbers. It costs $57. Let’s take a look. UPDATE – After posting...

The ESV Reader’s Bible was designed for reading in mind. Rather than cluttering up the text with distractions such as numbers and links, section headings, and footnotes, this Bible presents to the reader just the text of Scripture.
