Reader Reviews
This review is from: Amplified Bible (Hardcover) An example: (okay, my favorite passage) "I have overcome the world." (Jesus Christ) The Amplified Bible translates this: "I have deprived the world of the power to harm you." The Amplified Bible is my favorite Bible translation. I was impressed with the fact that this Bible goes back to the original Hebrew and Greek translations instead of retranslating the translations. The 23rd Psalm, the 91st Psalm - all the favorites take on powerful new meanings with a reading of this Bible. I would highly recommend this Bible to anyone who loves to dig deep into the spiritual meaning and practicality of God's word. I recently pulled out my leather copy of this AB (I have both the hardcover and leather editions) and I noticed I'd filled the flyleafs with my "favorite" Bible passages. That's how this book is - you read a verse and say "Aha...so that's what that verse means..I never thought of it in that light" and then you have to think about it for a time and let it sink in deep. It's a book (and a message) that will really satisfy the hungry heart.
