My Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I love studying the names of God and what they mean. That’s why I was so excited to receive a copy of The Names of God Bible. Using a Bible with the names of God used in the verses really makes the Scripture come alive. I only have two complaints about this Bible. First, God’s Word Translation is not my favorite for studying the Bible. It’s a very readable translation, but this is more of a study Bible. I wished they’d used a more accurate translation like the NASV, NRSV, NKJV, or the NIV. Also it was rather confusing having what the names of God meant at the beginning of each book of the Bible. It causes me to have to do a lot of flipping back and forth except for with shorter books. I would have preferred the meaning in italics or quotations next to the name. I think it would have made it more user-friendly. Overall I loved it, but I see room for improvement.
