Great transaction.  I have enjoyed using the Bible everyday for my daily Bible reading plan.

I enjoy daily reading of the scriptures. This Bible is easy to use - going from book to book takes a simple touch. Each book of the Bible starts with a background/summary, and at various points explanations are interjected. The annotations are helpful, providing explanation or cross reference. A guide to using the references is frequently offered. My only complaint is that at times when I try to open it it freezes and takes a long time to load. This could be a Nook problem, however it seems to only happen with this Bible. I've tried other e-Bibles - this is the best I've found.

Since "The Daily Bible" is in chronological order the sections read like stories. The NIV is a very widely used, respected and readable version of the Bible. This Bible is not a STUDY Bible, but a Bible to READ. If you have any questions, answers are easily available elsewhere. I highly recommend this version for its readability and flow of the stories.

"The Daily Bible" is fun to read, whether as an excellent choice for the first time, or to follow up after you have read all or parts of the Bible and would like to experience it chronologically. "The Daily Bible" is especially useful if you want to read the Bible as it progresses, each part in time and context. I also recommend the Bible for readers whose main interest is in literature.

The layout is a great help for readability as the chapters and verses are indicated in the margin not within the text. In this way the reader just keeps reading with no distractions. There are a few explanatory footnotes when necessary. Each section has a short, useful introduction.

The purpose of this Bible is to encourage the reader to read chronological episodes of a people and individuals among those people. Using the chronological approach keeps stories together. In this way you are also more likely to remember what you have read.

One of the greatest examples of the enjoyability of "The Daily Bible" is the story of David from his lowly beginnings to persecuted to King to his death. "The Daily Bible" includes the Psalms of David that apply to each episode.

The compact version (6.1 x 4.2 x 1.3 inches) is VERY portable, though its print is quite small.

I LOVE this Bible.  It has helped me understand God's word and helped me understand more about when and how things happened since it is in chronological order.  I wish it came on CD though as I don't always have time to read it and get behind!

It is helpful in chronological order of the Scriptures...am pleased with it thus far.

I love this chronological reading plan! Great study helps and I love the timeline. I would recommend it to anyone.

Obviously I'm reviewing the format and presentation of the text, not its content.

This Bible is very well annotated, with lots of notes on interpretations, alternate translations, ambiguities, and even apparent contradictions in the text that are a bit more subtle than the standard ones most people have heard of. It also does a pretty fair job of not apologizing and simply presenting the text as it is actually written. The inclusion of the apocrypha is a great bonus that makes this an ideal Bible if you're only going to get one.

The narrated Bible is organized in such a way that is easier to grasp.  The Bible in this format is much easier to read.

This Bible is making reading through the Binle in a year so easy. I recommend it to anyone who has had problems studying with going the distance. I love the summary before each reading and because it is in chronological order it helps the understanding. I highly reccomend it to all.

I'm very impressed with this version.  I love the color layout and the archeological updates.  Not having a Life Application Bible already, I am also enjoying the notes.  I have historically used my chronological KJV Bible as a guide to help me follow things like where the prophets and Psalms fit into the historical books like Kings and Chronicles. I like this version particularly because I don't find myself having to look up the verses in NIV while trying to find chronology in my KJV chronological Bible. This also includes information about how Biblical history fits with the history of other countries.  My grown son was so impressed with the one I got with the gift card he sent me for my birthday, that this volume was purchased as part of his birthday present.  It is easy to use and should be a great edition to understanding the flow of God's revelation of Himself to us.  While not quite as well blended, adding psalms and proverbs interwoven during Kings and Chronicles like my Reese Chronological Bible, it still adds a wonderful resource to my study of God's Word.

I was impressed with the book as soon as I saw it because the stories are written in chronological order and most are only a couple pages in length. To me, that makes this book an excellent starting point for those new to the Bible, as well as a great reference tool for those of us familiar with the Bible. (Especially since each of the 250 selections has a very commonsense title.) And, though, much of the actual Bible is missing, I still believe this book is worth having on your shelf.

I prefer the NIV translation for my personal Bible, but I didn't mind the NKJV at all. I also believe that it's understandable enough that children could benefit from sharing in this book. The "short story" format is another bonus for children, too.

This book is beautiful inside and out, and I would totally recommend it for personal use and as a gift.

I received this book free of  charge from the publisher, but my opinions are my own and wer not influenced in any manner.

I love this timeline because it helps you sort through the Bible's narrative books and see how Biblical history fits into world history. I've been using it to help my religion class get a better grasp of how the Bible is rooted in real-world events, even if its focus is on salvation history. (I originally used this while taking The Great Adventure Bible Study, but am using it with Understanding the Scriptures with my tenth graders.)

I make it a habit to read a different version of the bible every year.  It took me a long time to make my selection for 2010 but I settled on this version.  It has been a few years since I read a chronological bible and it has been many years since I read a KJV or in this case NKJV.

I am very impressed with this bible and have already recommended it to at least a dozen people.  It is bursting with good historical and cultural information.  I am also pleased to see that the authors are very up front about differing ideas and opinions about timing and interpretations.  I find myself looking forward to my day's passage and have even decided to opt for the 2-year reading plan to give myself more time to reflect on the historical information.

Every student of scripture needs good reference material and this is a very good start.  If you have never tried to read through the bible - I heartily recommend this one.  It is still early in the year so give yourself a present for 2010.  I am also pleasantly surprised at the ease of reading the NKJV.  It brings me back to my childhood and the familiar cadence and beauty of the language I didn't realize I had missed in reading modern translations.

JUST DO IT!

By placing the books of the New Testament  in the order they were written, Evolution of the Word invites readers to experience how early Christian thinking evolved over the eight decades during which the twenty-seven books were written.  Borg uses the introductory section to offer a succinct overview of the historical approach that is commonplace in academic study and which guides his work.  He then introduces each book with two to eight pages that provide data about the how he selected the most likely date the book was written, its historical context, and its significant content and themes.  Borg follows the introductions with the biblical text from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV).

Those who seek to follow the way of Jesus will find their journey enriched by reading, pondering, and responding to Evolution of the Word.  Whether Borg's historical approach is new and novel or the only known option and normative, actually reading the New Testament text as he presents it invites the reader to read the words as if reading them for the first time.

This has been very helpful for me. It is great as explaining the order of things, adding some context, thoughts etc.  Otherwise, the bible for a novice can be a daunting read, especially in various interpretations.  All good for me!

I have a couple of version of the bible. And from time to time I use this one because it has commentary at the bottom of the pages. The writting is small so if that is an issue please think twice about purchasing. However, it is very informative

My husband and I are reading the Bible in a year and each got a chronological Bible.  I got this one and he got a different one. We are noticing that they don't follow the same order!  I assume because there is not a clear time period for some of the books just as some don't have clear authors.  That is ok but his has verse numbers throughout the text.  So if you like a particular verse you know exactly what verse it is.  This one just puts the book, chapter and verses at the beginning of a paragraph and then doesn't put the verse numbers into the text.  If I like a verse, I have to go to my study Bible and look up the chapter to find the exact verse number.  Its not a huge deal but it would have been nice to have the verse numbers put into the text.  Other than that I like this Bible and feel the summaries provided throughout are helpful.  I just wanted to point out about the differences in the order between chronological Bibles as well as the verse numbers not being in the text in this Bible.
