F. Lagard Smith
Editorial Portavoz, 2008
Me encanto!!
A mi me encanto esta Biblia. A mi me gusta mucho la historia, y le encuentro mas sentido a las cosas cuando estan en orden. Esta Biblia te presenta todo tal como sucedio en su orden historico, en el cual puedes ver lo que dijeron los profetas en el tiempo que lo dijeron, tambien veras a las epistolas de Pablo ahi en los Hechos. Es una buena inversion - y tambien te ofrece un plan de leer la ...

Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament42 reviews
Jason David BeDuhn
University Press of America, 2003
Can My Bible Translation Be Trusted?
In "Truth In Translation", Jason BeDuhn strips the original Biblical language down to its bare bones and shows the reader what the Greek is literally saying, as he analyzes some commonly mistranslated words and phrases in 9 of the most widely-used English Translations of the N.T. available today.
One truly amazing thing about this book is that it seems to go down a path that no Biblical ...

The Prophet261 reviews
Kahlil Gibran
Alfred A. Knopf, 1923
Fabulous writing
The Prophet is a very thought-provoking and inspiring book. I purchased it after reading a few pages from a copy that my sister-in-law had, and I knew I had to have my own. An excellent collection of short stories and poems.

Max Lucado
Thomas Nelson, 1993
Best Book by Lucado
I've read most of Max Lucado's books and this is not only my favorite by him but my favorite book of all time. (Well, except for the Bible.)
This book is helpful in some way for anyone who reads it. I have given this book as a gift for so many people going through a tough time and it has helped each one.
No one tells a story in quite the way Lucado does. It is hard to put his books ...

An Introduction to the New Testament (Anchor Bible Reference Library)49 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Doubleday, 1997
Extremely helpful and easy to understand
I am a somewhat new Christian and have really felt a connection with God since becoming faithful. However, I became wary of Church dogma and completely literal, simplified views of info in the Bible. I knew it had to be deeper than that. I had a hunger to learn more about the history of the New Testament and it's books, letters, etc. to help me better understand it. This book was extremely ...

The Message of the Qur'an44 reviews
The Book Foundation, 2008
The Best Interpretation I've Read.....
Amazon as usual was able to give me this beautiful Qur'an that honestly is the best interpretation I have ever read. Though rare, this translation has been touted as the best english approximation to the Arabic that has been written. I have to agree. Even the pages are decoratated with beautiful calligraphy that truly accentuates the already present beauty within the pages of this translation. ...

The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You (2 Volume Set)41 reviews
Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-Realization Fellowship, 2004
Christ's words revealed
When I first learned of Christ's teachings and life as a teenager I was deeply moved. I followed His message as best I could but, there were so many things I didn't understand and had to take on faith. These volumes have revealed so many deep and profound truths which before were shrouded in the obscure and mysterious language of ancient parables. For the first time many confusing and obscure ...

Adventure Bible, Revised, NIV29 reviews
Lawrence O. Richards
Zonderkidz, 2000
Bible School Teacher's dream come true!
This Bible is absolutely wonderful. At the start of each book it tells who wrote the book if known and why the book is important. The text is written in plain English much easier for kids to understand (and myself). There are side texts with sugessted activities and additional explanation of significant stories. I LOVE this Bible - this is the one I read personally now myself and I don't know ...

The Five Books of Moses : Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy : A New Translation With ...31 reviews
Schocken Books, 1995
Excellent
I used to say that it was pointless to try to study the Bible without Hebrew - that it was impossible to "feel" the text, to get the humor, the irony, the poetry. Not anymore. This is a must for any student of the Bible, as it captures the liveliness and strangeness of the original and expose it as the allusive, alliterative, jabberwocky text that it is.
Hebrew is best, but this is, finally, ...

The Sacred and The Profane: The Nature of Religion23 reviews
Mircea Eliade
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987
A brilliant introduction to the study of religion
I decided to read this book for a religion-course I'm taking, and I must say I'm happy I did! Mircea Eliade was a Rumanian historian of religions, philosopher and author, in addition to being a vaguely religious man himself. This book was written to serve as an introduction to the study of religion for new students and the interested layman, and it does so excellently. Eliade was interestingly ...

OUTSTANDING
I think that this book is excellent for people that are called to be prophets and prophetess. This has really helped me to understand my call and why I face some of the things that I have. It also explains the anatomy of it and its origin which makes it excellent.

Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation30 reviews
Kenneth L. Gentry
Institute for Christian Economics, 1989
Complete and Convincing
This book is a gem of scholarly research. When all the data is pieced together the preterist eschatology is quite compelling. Gentry respectfully reviews the arguments from the late-date scholars and shows that most (but not all) of the evidence comes down to one quotation of Irenaeus. Then Gentry pieces all of Revelation's internal evidence together with the historical record to provide a very ...

A Huge Sleeper!
This work is pure treasure and a great place for someone who wishes to begin reading fine literature to start. I cannot believe that I never heard of this book until I was 50! It ended up on my large "reading list" and I had to order it online to find a copy -- then (I kick myself) it laid around here for a year before I opened it. When I finally did, I discovered that I could not put this one ...

The Canon of Scripture25 reviews
Frederick Fyvie Bruce
InterVarsity Press, 1988
What is the Canon?
This is book primarily deals with the history of the development of the Canon. It was quite interesting to read the history of various books and letters of the Old and New Testament and to realize how most Christians take for granted their acceptance as Holy Scripture. It was fascinating to discover that books like Hebrews and the Apocalypse had difficulty in finding their place in today's ...
