DESCRIPTION:
The Clear Word lets the power of ancient texts come through today. Each chapter is a separate, numbered track, so you can listen sequentially or select a specific book or chapter.. The convenient format makes it easy to navigate the Old Testament. Let it renew yours. As the meaning of Scripture becomes more transparent, you see more of God's grace and love. The Clear Word has renewed the devotional lives of thousands of people
Reg Scarbrough said this is a paraphrase not a translation however i REALLY like it and i rarely find it out of step. Note, this is a paraphrase not a translation however i REALLY like it and i rarely find it out of step with my understanding of King James etc. Reading it allows you to cover large sections of the bible to get the big picture fast and almost anyone at any reading skill will increase their understanding. As far as i am concerned this should be read in conjunction with your favorite "translation" and you will be the better for it.. Just a great study tool! This is a fine paraphrase of scripture, but it is not a bible! Of course, due to idiomatic expressions in every language, it is almost impossible to ever have a literal translation of any speech or writing from one language to another. Each language has it own expressions which are completely meaningless in other languages. The "Clear Word" tries to avoid these by paraphrasing the original Bible text into the modern American English so that the idea is easy to understand. Most of the time it succeeds. Great Book makes a great gift. I absolutely love the Clear Word Bible!! So much so I bought one for a friend and a CD for my cousin. I highly recommended it to anyone having a hard time understanding the king James, I use both. I read the Clear word to understand the script then compare it to the King James, sure makes under standing the Bible a whole lot easier. The print in the pocket size was to small for my liking so I returned it for a larger print.
