Review # 1 was written on 2014-10-15 00:00:00 Jack Minora Okay: Just finished this. Read it cover to cover. Alpha to Omega. I've got a lot of thoughts on it, but I'm not going to hash them out tonight. ...I had been updating as I read, so I'll keep those here. I'll go through them later. Job was fascinating. It was especially fun to read here in China with all we're going through. He really wasn't as patient as I remember him being. Also, my notes had a lot of criticisms for his friends... but I thought their only real problem was that they said he'd sinned when he didn't. Everything else seemed sound, or was I missing something? Alright. I read Esther today with Liz. I don't really have anything to say about it. Well, I guess I could say Haman would be an interesting character study. Maybe a study in the number of times he doesn't see the train coming. So, I just finished Nehemiah last night - which means I'm on to Esther. I know what you're thinking - Nehemiah's only 13 chapters, why did it take you so long to read it? Well, I fell back out of reading again. That's what happened. I promise never to judge people for not reading the Bible. Sheesh... Nehemiah wasn't bad either. Although, gives a lot of the same information as Ezra. I got a little tired of reading the names of the people and their different jobs, but I loved Nehemiah's prayer interjections. They seemed so... Fiddler on the Roof. I found the last chapter particularly interesting - the way he constantly says, "remember me" "remember me..." and at one point, "remember them..." He wasn't one to take things lightly either, "I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men and pulled out their hair..." (13:25) I'm on Nehemiah. I got stuck on Ezra after Samuel/Kings/Chronicles to do that SS class on Joab. (What a guy.) But I'm back in. Loved Ezra's prayer at Chap. 9. Questions on his faith at 8:22 (NIV: "ashamed?") Were they checking to see if the foreign wives converted at 10:16 when they "sat down to investigate the cases?" And were they taking them one on one, like a case by case basis? Anyway, I'm back in.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-13 00:00:00 Crimsona Kaiser As a Christian, it seems quite odd reviewing a bible , as for me this is a book that is and should be my essential guidebook to life , and funnily enough when it comes to bibles I find that Zondervan is the best publishers and if you are just starting out as a Christian or have been one for a while and are a bit like me, then your preference for reading the word is in the language of NIV which translates into New International Version, this is the most common type of biblical language used in today's society. One thing that always stands out for me when it comes to bibles, is that no matter what you enjoy, whether you are female or male , old or young - there is a bible made especially for you and today's bible which is an appropiate topic to talk about as it's Sunday , is one made especially for all those students out there. .When you make the decision to purchase a bible, as there are so many out there now, you tend to scour through the different versions and types till you find the one that screams God's perfection for you and if you are studying and at the stage where you are just not quite ready to take the next step into buying a Dad's Bible/Mother's Bible or even the step of moving into a Men's /Women's Bible then the NIV Student Bible is the Book for you. Something I was taught when I was younger was that Bible stood for Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth. The NIV Student's Bible also includes: Complete NIV text Three-track reading plan Book introductions and overviews Insights provide background information on key passages Guided Tours offer a bird's-eye view of the Bible Highlights present short commentary on specific verses 100 People You Should Know Indexes, glossaries, and study helps Subject guide Eight pages of maps with index
