Customer Reviews

Execellent Family Bible
We have found the NIV/Message Parallel Bible to be an excellent resource for families. With traditional and non-traditional text side-by-side the Bible can be used by families with teen-age members and older family members comparing the language. It is well formatted and even with the NIV translation as up-to-date as it is , the Message gives an even more updated version. Well worth the investment!

The Best!!!
I love this Bible....of course the large print, but also the fact that it lies flat from the getgo!!

I recommend it to all....even the young, sighted segment!!!

studying the word
With the cross between the NIV and the Message it brings clarity to the word. Did not find the pages thin as I had read in earlier reviews. Pages were no thinner than any other bible that I have. Comparing price with other sites and stores, it was a good buy.
