With this said, I don't use the Good News Translation as a "study" Bible. For that, I would need something a little more formal, like the New America Standard Bible, the English Standard Version or my personal favorite, the New Revised Standard Version. In order to study the Bible, I find it necessary to compare translations because I do understand that in many places, there are different ways of translating something. Also, some places in these Bibles are ambiguous or even vague, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a translation using modern terminology, but it is always difficult translating something from one language to another....
But, just to read? This is it! It reads well, easily understood to anyone who can "get by" speaking English. This is a hardcover edition and the Bibles (I ordered two) were in excellent condition. You can lay the Bible flat on a surface and the pages won't fall on each other. It seems to hold it's own very well. Exactly what I needed for doing my morning prayers! I would recommend anyone getting this edition of the Good News Bible!
I still use one, mostly as a commentary, but sometimes it's nice to just read, too. I've already given her a nice NKJV, so she'll have a more accurate translation, as well. I think I already have one of these myself, but these days I read and study via e-Sword, in which I can size the fonts as needed. The book is well-constructed and should last many years, though the words inside will stand forever.
the text is very readable. the paper is decent enough but looks like use of a highlighter may bleed thru so recommend useing
colored pencils instead. which is fast becoming my favorite way to highlight since this is common in most bibles now a days.
the binding is excellent and should last for a long time.
this translation is good for reading and devotions . for serious study i'd go with a more literal version( nasb,nkjv,esv etc.)
though this can help clarify the more difficult to read passages.
it is always good comparing bible translations to get a better understanding and fuller meaning of all the words used. one additional help it provides is very thorough references to other passages and alternative renderings of the text.
all in all a solid edition to add to any ones bible collection.
and considering the price, it's a bargin that is hard to beat!
I give 4 stars simply because the pages are VERY thin. You can see the text on the other side of the page, and almost the text on the following page. It's my only gripe.
