Excellent

This Bible here is very useful to me! Anytime I am doing devotional readings, or Daily Office readings for my prayer routine every morning, this Translation fits the bill! It is a very easy read, and I quickly get the main idea of what a particular passage is saying. Funny how inspirational literature like the Bible can be spoken like it is speaking to us in our own time. With this said, I don't use the Good News Translation as a "study" Bible. For that, I would need something a little more formal, like the New America Standard Bible, the English Standard Version or my personal favorite, the New Revised Standard Version. In order to study the Bible, I find it necessary to compare translations because I do understand that in many places, there are different ways of translating something. Also, some places in these Bibles are ambiguous or even vague, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a translation using modern terminology, but it is always difficult translating something from one language to another.... But, just to read? This is it! It reads well, easily understood to anyone who can "get by" speaking English. This is a hardcover edition and the Bibles (I ordered two) were in excellent condition. You can lay the Bible flat on a surface and the pages won't fall on each other. It seems to hold it's own very well. Exactly what I needed for doing my morning prayers! I would recommend anyone getting this edition of the Good News Bible!

Very good print and easy to read
