Book Review of The Voice: New Testament by Ecclesia Bible Society
"Step Into The Story of Scripture"
"Step Into The Story of Scripture"
I completely expected not to like this Bible just because it breaks tradition. Happy to say though, I love, love, love it! Each book opens with a set up for that book - who wrote it, where they were, what they were doing at the time, and a little history of the book. It's not written at all like a loquacious scholar. It's perfect for our day to day home school Bible lesson. Kids will completely get swept away with this Bible. It's perfect for daily family devotions; or even to just pick up like a book. My favorite bit, is that each account has a written setting. This Bible absolutely comes alive in your minds-eye. No, I wouldn't use this Bible for serious study or for perfected translation and exegesis (see a good NASB keyword Bible for that). Nonetheless, this is a great family Bible. Also it would be a substantial Bible for a new Christian or a beginner at Bible reading. Take a peek at it, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Plus, it's only $6.99 - so it's perfect for a Christmas or birthday gift.
