Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | excellent resource Mar 22, 2007 |
| This Bible is an excellent way to get 4 of the best Bible translations all together in one place. It makes it very simple to compare verses without having four separate Bibles open. I plan on taking it to Bible College with me this fall in order to save space that would have been needed for four separate Bibles. The burgandy leather cover is very nice. My only negative comment would be the small print, but I realize that with four complete translations, it would end up being a huge book if the print were larger. | | |  | A great Bible for study Jan 30, 2007 |
| With four Bibles on each page, it is a very good way to study the Bible and have a more complete idea of what each verse means in everyday terms. The Amplified Bible gives an expanded view of each verse and helps to understand what the other versions mean. I highly recommend. | | | | WOW! Jan 29, 2007 |
I originally started looking for a Bible that would help with studying - side by side comparison to get a better flavor of the Word. One night, I had four or five Bibles lined up trying to dig in to a passage and thought - this is really clumsy, the pages don't match up and it was difficult to jump between Bibles and not lose track! SO this four translation Bible is a really great solution!! It's really great to have at Bible study.
It's easy to use, King James version on the left - all the print is easily readable (I've got some friends in their sixties and seventies who have no problem with the typeface), it fits into a extra large Bible cover in case you're wondering and weighs about two pounds.
Also - this site's service was really wonderful, the super saver shipping actually arrived more quickly than I anticipated - and all was in good condition! I am very impressed. | | | | Great Jan 17, 2007 |
| Excellent for self or group study. I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. This enables him to read his preferred translation and still have access to my preferred translation when we read together. It is always nice to have a KJV to reference when in question of something. | | | | Awesome Jan 9, 2007 |
| This is awesome to get all translations in one place. It's much easier to read than you think (all the columns line up between all the translations). Highly recommended! | | | Write your own review about Comparative Study Parallel/Rev-KJV/AMP/NAS/NIV-HC
