Advantages: Is a great learning source, It is a living book of God and shows us the way to live.
Disadvantages: I realise that my review is biased on the Christian side of view, sorry about that.

...The Bible This is going to be difficult for me to review because I am a born again Christian and I want to do the Bible justice. I feel a little strange about writing a review of the Bible because it is so personal to me and I guess I am a little afraid I might get some harsh come back from people. I love the Bible because it brings insight, wisdom and knowledge to areas in life that we might be having difficulties with. There are many different versions of the Bible and my husband and I own roughly about 20 - 30 Bibles. Yes, we collect them. We have Bibles with pictures in. Bibles that are very old. Some Bibles that are very modern like The Street Bible by Rob Lacey. We also have a big dramatised Bible that has the Scriptures laid out in script. As long as the Bible is the Christian version and does not digress into Mormon... Read review

...And so we are onto Bible no.4 in the epic search for a youth bible, which is (more or less) a far superior version of the manga bible...right, you know the basics now so anyone who is not interested can now disappear. Assuming that I still have any readers I will continue into the main review...and I know the title is not particularly original but its 6am and I've been up all night writing for the bloody vicar...can you blame me!?

Advantages: Wonderful opportunity to learn.
Disadvantages: Not the easiest book to read.

...I know that a lot of readers find the subject of the Bible a little uncomfortable and question, in their disbelief of God, the relevance of a book like this in their lives, and that many readers may also question my right to review such a book. I am not going to review in the traditional way, i.e. contents, length, price, etc., too much at all. For me, the importance of telling people a little more about how I believe it can enhance their lives, is far more important. You could ask yourself if I am significant enough a writer to be able to write a review about such a great book, and here I would argue that the Bible was written for everyone, and without going into the intricacies of the Bible in a "Bible thumping" manner, if I pursuade one person to read it and to change their view about what the Bible offers an individual, then I...

...The Good news Bible is another translation of the Bible from the Greek and Hebrew texts into English, it is an easy to read version, that is quite simple to understand. In comparisson to other translations, it is quite good, however, one feels the effort used for versions such as the New International Version, or even the New Century Version of the bible is somewhat lacking, however, this version has spoken with its sales, as one of the best selling versions available in the UK. The Good News Bible was the first truly easy-to-read Bible translation, and it is still the UK\'s most popular. The Sunrise edition is a firm favourite, and is ideal for church and school use alike. First sold as \'Good News for Modern Man\', the Good News Bible was a bestseller from its first publication, providing a unique combination of accessibility... Read review

...****UPDATE **** UPDATE*****UPDATE**** I have now proof read this review and also added some new information following the interesting account of Tomb 15 in the Valley of the Kings Anyway I hope you enjoy this somewhat positivist account of The Bible and see what I am trying to say....... IMPORTANT START NOTE To those who know me and my style - you will know to read everything before you decide your opinion - for those who are new to my reviews - I hold no prejudices / no ulterior motive and you will not achieve anything if you read the first sentence or skip through quickly. As this is an important subject, and certainly an expansive one, I do not hope to cover all points, but throughout please bear this in mind: I know my theology I know my archaeology I know my psychology / sociology and even anthropology I do...

...The Holy Scriptures or The Bible is the inspired word of God and is acknowledged by many as the greatest book of all times because of its age, its total circulation and the number of languages into which it has been translated. It is a great literacy masterpiece and one which contains grea
