Book Reviews of Adventure Bible, Revised, NIV
Book Review: Wonderful source of auxiliary Bible information
Summary: 5 Stars
To clarify some things -- I am the daughter of the owner of this amazon account. I, however, felt obliged to write a review of this Bible. I was given this Bible as a gift when I was years younger, but I probably only read several pages. At that time I do remember feeling that the editors overly simplified things for children (As a child, I disliked anything directed to children--I had distaste for the Bible immediately when I saw the title, "The Adventure Bible"), but I had no understanding of the Bible, and I did not know what was truly written in it. Now, however, I enjoy reading this Bible, because I have matured to where I am not bothered by the graphics and wordings aimed toward children, but can apply it to my own life. I am 16 (I started reading the Bible at 15), and I find that much of the supplementary information is very helpful in my overall understanding of the entire Bible. It has allowed me to grow in many ways. It provides information on the meanings behind the Hebrew words, cultural trends of the age, shows facts about Biblical research, including dates, measurements, places, individuals, etcetera. . . It also gives advice by taking examples from the Bible.
In first chapter of Genesis, it says in a 'Did You Know?' section that the Bible word create means to make or to begin something new. I find that that there is a wealth of information. Let me give you another example: in Matthew chapter 23 there is a 'Life in Bible Times' section at the bottom of the page that says, "When Jewish men prayed, many tied special boxes containing Bible verses to their arm and forehead. These were called phylacteries (fa-LAC-ter-eez). Jesus criticized men who did this as a way to make people think they were especially holy."
This is referring to Matthew 23:5, where it only says "Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long. ." I would not have understood if not for the commentary. It is truly great Bible! It is also my aunt's favorite Bible. In almost every page there is something they add that efficiently helps the reader learn and understand. It is just as much for adults as for children.
