Details: I wasn't sure I would like a parallel bible, but it is wonderful. I have used an NIV bible since college, now I can compare the NIV to The Message easily. The Large Print is easy to read and though the bible is a bit thicker than usual, it isn't too heavy. Adding a simple canvas cover makes it easy to carry this one around with you. I find myself using this one more than my old bible.
Review Summary: Love it........

Details: I really like the Message Parallel Bible. I am so glad that I got the large print. I debated the hard cover vs. a pretty leather covered one. I am very happy with the hard cover. So easy to read!!

Details: With the cross between the NIV and the Message it brings clarity to the word. Did not find the pages thin as I had read in earlier reviews. Pages were no thinner than any other bible that I have. Comparing price with other sites and stores, it was a good buy.
Review Summary: NIV/ The Message Large Print is a great addition to my library.

Details: NIV/The Message: New International Version, Parallel The one that I purchased was Large and Giant Print. It is easy to reference. The print is not quite as large as the LARGE PRINT books at my local library but still legible to me. I received the book in a timely fashion and in excellent condition. Buying from Amazon was easy. I have recommended this way of purchasing books to others.
Review Summary: The Bible I can understand
Date: 2008-02-27
Details: The Parallel Bible is written in such a way that verses that seem unclear in the NIV version are explained in the Message. Some of the translations have made me wonder about the real meaning and now to have it explained in every day terms makes the meaning so much more clearer. The large print also makes it easier to follow. A very rewarding book.
