5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressed - Looking to Truly Understand My Faith

E. · January 28, 2020

I’d like to preface this review by giving a little background of myself. Growing up, I was baptized as a baby, went to Sunday school, learned the basic stories that were ‘kid friendly’, got confirmed in the Lutheran Church as a teen, etc. Like everyone else, I celebrated Christmas and Easter and while I knew the backstory of each I don’t believe I really felt/understood the true meaning of it all. I have always been an avid reader but have always found reading the Bible extremely difficult. Back then, I wasn’t made aware of the different translations and most likely was trying to decipher the King James Version. Ultimately, I gave up and didn’t look back.Until now. Fast forward 30+ years. I’ve got a wife and 3 kids of my own. From a faith standpoint, nothing really changed in all that time. My experience with that extremely difficult to read Bible from my youth kept me from picking up another one and I never really went to Church outside the ‘big’ holidays. My brother-in-law is deeply religious and has been trying to get me back to church and reading the Word of God for years. I’m not sure what finally did it but I decided to give it a chance. Talking with him opened my eyes to the various translations and he agreed that some are very difficult to understand without help. He recommended the NLV to me to get started.This Bible was one of the first hits that came up on Bolo. Being skeptical of it just being a marketing ploy for ‘every man’ I put it in the shopping cart as I continued to search for others. Ultimately, the raving reviews of this book got me to (begrudgingly) order it. I am glad I did!First, this book is beautiful. The faux leather cover and the slight gold trim pages are simply gorgeous. It is a book that I wouldn’t mind throwing in my work bag and ‘low key’ enough that I wouldn’t mind reading it during my lunch hour without it screaming, “BIBLE!!!”. I know, I know. I shouldn’t be ashamed of my faith but at this point I still have reservations about reading an obvious ‘Bible’ in public. But this self conscience reservation is something I plan on working to get over.The very next thing I did when I received this Bible is try to read it. Being cautious and remembering how terrible it was for me as a teen I opened to Genesis..... and I was truly shocked. It reads like it was written in English! Like real English! The type that you would expect most books to be written i. in this century! It was like a light bulb went off. While reading I started noticing the blurbs at the bottom of the pages further explaining the stories; adding much more depth to the passages than I would have gotten on my own. Also the short Biographies and tips throughout the book are great! This Bible is actually enjoyable to read!This is the first Bible that I can truly call ‘my own’. I truly believe this is the turning point where I can start to restore and truly understand my faith instead of just going through the motions of being a ‘Christian’. I hope that this is beginning of getting a true understand of just what that means.

5.0 out of 5 stars Large Print -Great beginner bible for men

B. · August 19, 2025

The media could not be loaded. Bought this for both my husband and son who are brand new to reading the Bible. I was looking for a men’s perspective, easy to read Bible. This one nailed it. The cover is a brown leather-like and flexible. (I began to place tabs purchased separately.) It has book intros in a nutshell, real life “spotlights, perspectives”, profiles of great and less than great men of the Bible, and sound advice.

The only weakness is the paper that is delicate, but I am 100% satisfied with the Bible, the comments and texts that follows are perfect and very useful interpretation of the Bible

Excellent Bible, perhaps more-so for guys

R.E. · March 15, 2016

Let me preface this by saying that I am a guy who is not a reader, I really struggle to sit down and read and would prefer to find something else to do. I purchased this for myself and have enjoyed reading it ever since. In and of itself this book is not going to change a person's reading habits just because it is sitting on your desk, but it has helped increase my desire to read.It contains a lot of added extras that I really enjoy - person you should know, study notes, perspectives, topics addressed (typically more related to guys), key verses or learnings, etc. These elements give contexts and helpful insights to sections of the Bible that I didn't understand as well. There are some parts where it even "comes alive" a bit more from the added information. It gives many tidbits and details that others who enjoy reading would find by researching and digging into other books and texts, but this helps me find and create relevance quicker.I deliberately chose it for the New Living Translation as it is something that has been more clear for me to read currently (previously I read the NIV but that is purely personal preference).Some might find all the extra features annoying because there are many pages which are devoted to topical discussion, notes of interest, people or verses to pay attention to, etc as noted above. This is not a straight text Bible. But it helps me in my current journey.Should God be more interesting to me than the 100 other things that I would gravitate towards? Yes. But reading anything is a struggle and this helps me to spend more time focused on His Word. I am grateful that I have this Bible.
