Customer Reviews

Wrong item

This is not the item I received

NOT What I Ordered

This is not the bible I ordered. I ordered the New Discovery NOT the King James. So how are we fixing this? This book is in excellent shape but don't want it

The Bible I received was not what I ordered!

The Bible I received looked nothing like what I ordered and it was New King James and not New Century Version. It was edited by Max Lucado! Maybe an older edition, but wanted the New Century Version.

Not What I Expected

The book was in great condition, as promised, but it wasn't the NCV version I expected and specifically ordered.

Listed as very good but good at best.

I don’t know why this order was so off. I’m starting to believe that Amazon is a better choice than here. No way were the 2 bibles very good condition. I bought 2 other books listed as very good And they looked like new.Whoever is grading these books needs to be fired. My last order from here.

I did not receive this book instead you send me the new King James version and send me an email that

you send the wrong book twice

Easy to read, understand, and apply

The New Century Version is one of the easiest to read versions of the Bible that I have ever studied. It is basically plain English, and very easy to understand. Also, thanks to the Editor, Max Lucado, there are many insightful selections from many Christian works in the margins to help guide your studies, devotionals, and personal enrichment. I have used this Bible, not only in my own studies, but as gifts for both Christian and "pre-"Christians alike. This makes an excellent study tool for anyone who wants to know more about God, Jesus, Christianity and how to live the life to which God has called us.

Excellent translation with truly inspirational commentaries

I really love the New Century Version of the Bible. I can't understand why it isn't more popular. It's elegant and accurate, and yet remarkably easy to read. There are many passages that were unclear to me in other translations, but were suddenly comprehensible in this version. An added bonus to this edition of the NCV are commentaries by Lucado and other prominent Christian writers. These brief "life lessons" really *are* inspirational, and they don't promote any particular denominational slant. This is a wonderful devotional Bible. I keep mine in my nightstand; reading a chapter or two just before I go to sleep each night is a peaceful, prayerful end to my days.

A NKJV version of the Bible with comments by Lucado & others

This more modern translation of the Bible (NKJV) with comments by Max Lucado & other inspirational writers inspired by God is easy to read & understand. The comments explain the historical context of the Scriptures & add modern-day examples of how to apply what the Bible is saying to us today. I've found it really helpful in knowing what the Bible says about how to live a Christian life in these troubled times, find joy in life, and understand the purposes of some of the things that are going on in our modern world.
